It is the "Dutton Mystery Story for May," but it is not likely to add greatly to the author's literary reputation, for the plot is labored and the characters are not convincingly drawn. It bears marks of haste, but it is written for the most part in that delightfully well-chosen English which we have come to associate with Mr. Williams' name, and the court-room scenes, though not a hundred per cent water-tight from the legal standpoint, are very dramatic.
Richard Eberhart '26, now a resident of St. John's College, Cambridge, appears with three poems in a small anthology entitled Cambridge Poets 1929, published by the Hogarth Press. Some of his verse is also printed in an undergraduate magazine of advanced experiments in literature, Experiment. Speaking of Eberhart's poetry, a reviewer in The Cambridge Review says: "He is so original, so strongly individual, that we need a good deal of his work in order to learn, and become familiar with his idiom, his characteristic rhythms, and his habits of imagery. Half of the contributors to Cambridge Poets could have been spared to make room for more of him . . . But, even on his showing here, Mr. Eberhart is indubitably a poet."
