A GOOD PLAY becomes A BETTER NOVEL... ARNOLD BENNETT YOUNG WOODLEY continues to be as he always was, perhaps, the most exquisite study in existence of a boy’s awakening to love. G. B. STERN Already the best selling novel in England. j Helen Gahagan and Glenn Hunter in a scene from the | New York production of the play Young Woodley | by JOHN VAN DRUTEN 1 A fascinating and exciting novel, far more than a perfunctory filling-in of the gaps in Mr. Van Druten’s play. Young Woodley is the tender yet unsentimental portrait of a boy—a lonely romantic and a poet at heart—who suffers youth's universal bewilderment at the promptings and questions of adolescence, perhaps a little more poignantly than most. This is a closer interpre- tation of Young Woodley and a more sensitive presentation of the boy who suddenly found the mystery of love revealed to him in the person of his house-master’s wife. This novel, written upon the theme of a play that ran in America for 1714 months, has already been published in England, scoring an immediate critical and popular success, and going into its fifth edition a few weeks after publication. We believe it will duplicate the success it achieved on the stage here and is now achieving in book form in London.—$2.00, postpaid $2.10. This book may be purchased from your bookseller.
