September 17, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on book "Pandora Lifts the Lid," by authors Christopher Morley and Don Marquis. This book reeks with gay whimsicality. It is a kind of highly modernized "Treasure Island." The Inn is replaced by a fashionable seminary, the explorers by a sextet of irresistible, imaginative sub-debs, and the pirates by real, sure-nuff bootleggers. The hair-raising adventures undertaken in the glorious cause of radicalism are topped off by a deliciously unsentimental and naive love affair. The type of book that makes one feel good-humoredly ashamed of being a day over twenty years old.
