BUT GENTLEMEN MARRY BRUNETTES. By Anita Loos. (Bretanos. 7s. fid.)—Anita
Loos is a genius. She has made two continents laugh. She has written a play that is not a play, which yet draws London—a feat when we remember that part of the attraction of her book consists is her, terribly funny spelling. Not content with this she has just given us a sequel—always a risky affair or, " riskay " as Lorelei would spell it, when using the word in a different sense. The centre of interest moves from Lorelei, respectably married and mother of " Little Mouse," to Dorothy. Her adventures, though sufficiently " huinerous," are not so "ins treeging " as those of her predecessor. We hope that her next book will lead us to new pastures, for the author is clever enough to give us a new kind of masterpiece of comic literature. The illustrations by Mr. Ralph Barton are clever, but hardly as good as those he drew for Gentlemen prefer Blondes.
