By Booth

i Wilson
| Jt COPYRIGHT. 1509. BY THE
Subtle humor, tear impelling
pathos, dueling, lynch law, suicide,
attempted murder, gambling,
heart entanglement and
realistic character drawing combine
to make "Cameo Kirby" an
unusual play and an unusual
novel?a cameo of modern fic
tion finely graven, richly set; a
word cameo by those master
craftsmen Booth Tarkington and
Harry Leon Wilson, whereon are
shifting pictures of the old days
along the Mississippi when the
/ JJatchez and the Robert E. Lee
* raced to New Orleans with for
tunes at stake; old days when
gamblers, amateur and professional,
won and lost almost unbelievable
sums on the river
steamers; days when Mark Twain
was a pilot and when the real
life prototype of Jim Bludso of
the Prairie Belle held "her nozzle
-ag'in the bank till the last
galoot" was ashore. A well
, torn, well intentioned young man
through association with bud
companions becomes an accomplished
gambler. Falsely accused
of murder, he meets a
young girl, with whom he falls
' in love. How vital complications
baffle him, how conspiracy
places his life in the balance,
how the love of a pure woman
may work wonders in the regeneration
of a man?-these themes
and others give "Cameo Kirby"
its thrill, its fascination, its powerful
heart interest.
