...Asia - Herbert H. Gowen - Little, Brown ($3.50). 11 THE WHISPERING GALLERY - "An Ex-Diplomat" - Boni & Liveright ($3.00). John Lane, The Bodley Head, Ltd., the London publishers, have withdrawn the book and caused the arrest on a charge of fraud of one Hesketh Pearson who sold them the manuscript and assured them that it is by Sir Rennel Rodd, onetime (1908-1919) British Ambassador to Italy, who has denied writing it.

He owns the original manuscript of the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin "from the ink splash on page 71, to the day before his death." In 1911 he paid...
...there by the heavy hand of Mynherr Mengelberg, there were excerpts from Berlioz's Damnation of Faust, "Minuet of Will-o'-the-Wisps," "Dance of the Sylphs" and the "Rakoczy March," and sandwiched in between, featured, a U. S. work, given its first Manhattan performance in manuscript. Pan and the Priest it was called-Pan, the Pagan spirit of unfettered emotions, crossing swords in an endless battle with the Priest, meditative ascetic. Critics found it "striding with energy and lifted head, large- molded, full-throated," "excellent music for a feature film, to depict the struggle of the upper...
