LITERATURE, ART AND HISTORY Oliver Wendell Holmes American Au- thor Series (K) Distributor, Hodkinson — Perhaps more than that of any other American author, the life of Oliver Wen- dell Holmes is associated with Harvard University. In this pictorial biography, we are shown Holmes' birthplace—a site now occupied by one of the buildings of Harvard—several views of Cambridge where Holmes grew to manhood in the quiet environment of a university town, and where later he became a lecturer and professor at Harvard, and one of the University's most famous men of letters. The views of Harvard are satisfying in photography, and succeed in conveying to us some of the atmosphere which formed the background of Holmes' life and work. One of his humorous poems, "The Height of the Ridiculous," is put into action for a major portion of the reel. The author, seated outdoors, is seen fin- ishing his poem and calling his servant to deliver it to the printer. The servant, in Colonial trappings, acts out the re- maining lines of the poem in a fit of glee, with disastrous effect both upon himself and the author. "Ten days and nights with sleepless eye * I watched that wretched man; And since I never dare to write As funny as I am." The reel closed with illustrated line from his poem dedicated to the Hudsc^ which affords an opportunity for sorn characteristic and beautiful (with th possible exception of a present-day e> cursion boat in close-up) scenes of tin river, as well as of a tropical stream, th Rhine, and the Avon, with all of wh« the Hudson is contrasted. In theme and in treatment of subjej matter, there is no attempt to make pk tures tell more than they can. It ougfc to result for the pupil in a definite idea 4 the spirit of Holmes, and the surrounf ings of his life.
