This article presents information about the books "Danger Zones of Europe: A Study of National Minorities," by John S. Stephens; "Life and Labor in the Old South," by Ulrich B. Phillips; "The Era of the French Revolution," by Louis R. Gottschalk; "Adam, the Baby and the Man from Mars," by Irwin Edman; "Little Caesar," by W. R. Burnett; "Poor Women!," by Nora Hoult and "The Lady is Cold," by E. B. White. "Little Caesar" tells rapidly and well, in a brisk, unemotional, reportorial style, the story of the rise and fall of a Chicago racketeer. Aside from its casual realism and the fact that its characters possess no moral virtues, "Little Caesar" is not radically different from any good action-and-adventure story.
