The only book emerging from The Inner
Sanctum of Simon and Schuster in July is a
first novel by Alan B. Schultz, entitled
PRIVATE SECRETARY: The Story of Mary Linden.
The romance of Mary Linden is briskly told
by one who has, himself, beaten time in the
ranks of Big Business. It has the racy
appeal of youth and Love bobbing uncertain¬
Jy on the golden sea of American conmercial
life. Thousands of office workers wil1
recognize themselves in this bright yet
penetrating tale of a private secretary's
career of love and business, among the in¬
gredient parts of whose background are the
high-spirited telephone girl, the office
vamp, and the rush and clatter of business.

LAugust vill see the publication of an
important Schnitzler book. The perfection
of Arthur Schnitzler is here in LETTLE
NOVELS, a book of ten tales which possess
a grave and burnished beauty not to be
found, perhaps, even in Schnitzler’s famous
novelettes. Most of these tales, employ¬
ing that gravely irondcal manner which is
Schnitzler's very oun, deal with the rela¬
tions betwran men and women; one or two
touch startlingly on the supernatural and
the workings of fate; and the finest of the
collection, a masterpiece among master¬
pieces, is a tenderly beautiful study of
the love between a blind man and his brother.
The majority of continental critics believe
Schnitzler's finest and most enduring work
to have been accomplished in the field of

the short story, and in these ten LITiLE
NOVELS the publishers feel that they are
offering to Schnitzler's eager and growing
American audience the perfect flower of the
genius of the Viennese master.

Marcet and Emanue1 Haldeman-Julius have
written what is certain to be one of the
most controversial novels of the autumn. It
is entitled VIOLENCE and its action is laid
in the imaginary state of Texlarkana. It
starts with a fatal bullet-shot from the
revolver of the Rev. Phil Jordan, servant
of God — and squire of dames. He 1#

In August Simon and Schuster are
sponsors to another first novel, LOVE
STORY, by Thellma Woodhi11. It is a re¬
Lentless portrait of a mother whose
strange, almost hysterical convictions
Lead her to make of her daughter a care¬
fully sheltered ewe-Lamb, teaching her
that the flesh is impurs and that a
woman's chief duty in life is to uphold
the claims of the spirit against onel's
baser desires. In an era of censorship,
this novel appears as a striking commen¬
tary on the actual consequences of
repression and ignorance. It is not a
new theme, but is here treated with such
force and such quiet effectiveness that
LOVE STORY is allmost certain to be widely
and absorbedly read — particularly by
mothers and daughters.
