...rattle of modern machinery has not brought prosperity--where sandy reads wind leisurely over cotton fields, where darkies sing at evening in the old plant disturbed tranquillity atop the graveyard hickory. It is of such an Arcadian backwater that Mrs. Julia Peterkin writes in her new book, "Roll, Jordan, Roll," a charming series of sketches on the Gullahs of South Carolina...
Black Beauty ROLL, JORDAN, ROLL-Julia Peterkin & Doris Ulmann-Ballon ($3.50). One of the very few Southern gentlefolk writing today, Julia Peterkin has a proprietary interest in the Negro, who in her books behaves according to Hoyle (Southern style).

But Author Bradford, not content with his niche, has made manful attempts to emerge. This Side of Jordan, a serious novel, was a far cry from Ol' Man Adam; most readers found it sordid and sinister. John Henry was a little consciously folk-tale-ish. But now, in Kingdom Coming, Author Bradford has turned the trick: neatly sidestepping the hoodoo of black-face minstrel-showmanship and the voodoo of Harlem...
