The article presents information on two books "The Best Short Stories, 1933, " edited by Edward J. O'Brien, and "Twentieth Century Short Stories," selected by Sylvia Chatfield Bates. In the prefatory remarks which always precede the stories in his annual anthology, O'Brien is this year even more hopeful than usual about the prospects for the American short story. It is presumably everything that O'Brien understands by good art and since he refers to the current short story in such lyrical terms people take it that he considers the better recent short stories typical of art of this kind. Bates's selection from the field is marked by thoroughness, intelligence, and more good taste than has been shown in a long time.
