Nowy sees or appreciates the dif- ference between the old South and the new, as keenly as does Ward Greene, a journalist, who is not wast- ing his time on his novels. Nor has anybody put it down better. In “Weep No More” Ward recounts a few of the more serious changes. He finds the new southern girl may wed a boot- legger, a real wop of a gin-vender, SPERIT ew > who takes away her social position, but . gives her love. More, perhaps, than | , the new-time southern gentleman who , may be right mean to his real south- ern lady of a wife, sending her to } drink and suicide. The old-time ar! tocrat of a spinster aunt is as liable as ir not to make herself a husband out of a lot of hot reading and radio crooner photographs (with the help of an urn of funeral ashes). As for the old- time southern lady, alas and alack! No longer the eye-dropping-down An- nabelle Lee of yesteryear, softness has fled her. She has become Clara 1- Bow and Louisa M. Alcott on a raft. j d Nevertheless, despite all ironic | $8 changes, Ward asks us to weep no te more for the old South. There is no t- old South. The southern lady now ailroads of the United States have led the way out of \t faces her problems thru a_highball . past depressicns and they can be depended on to do sc glass, and the old Kentucky home, their share now. America has always prospered when the 3 * : = railroads were prosperous, and it is worthy of note that at equipped with radio, mortgages and the country, asa whole, never has been prosperous when Wy frigidaire, still clings together some- the railroads were not: how.

Now,as a slightly limping third, the original wife of the genius, who up to this time had taken no part in the royalties, suddenly brings out her side of the story, which is called“ First Husband.” This brings the total num- ber on this particular course up to Four, with the public pulse back to normal, and only the child of the genius to be heard from, plus a few interested spectators in the back of the gallery. You can therefore read your “My First Husband” or leave it alone. You will find it probably the clearest and simplest explanation of the whole muddle d'amour and about as enter- taining as last week’s Winchell. We do, however, think four confessions are sufficient in one little scandal du jour, and we'd like to complain about unnecessary prolixity.
