FROM CHARLES Cromwell’s Successor Not Black Character Says Biographer Wheatley By JOHN SELBY NEW YORK, June 8 —Charles 1II. | of England was not the licentious old reprobate history has made him, if’ Dennis Wheatley is to be believed. His “Old Rowley” (Dut- ton) is an attempt to rehabilitate the jolly monarch in the publi eye. It was Charles’ jollity, incidental ly, that gave him his black eye with posterity, Mr. Wheatley be- lieves. Charles was two men, he adds; in public he was merely the gay roue, more interested in mistresses than in his dominion. But privately he was. an ast | and worthy king, Mr. Wheatley is convinced. He is so convinced that his reader is likely to be converted. | Charles was schooled in poverty, | “Old Rowley” points out. All through his long exile he existed on the crumbs that fell from vari- ous royal tables, and they were not numerous. Upon his return hc. found himself almost foundering | under the mistakes of the Crom-| wellians, the debts of his father,| and none too secure a throne. i He steered through these precari- ous waters in a way that seems to most of us, fed as we are on school | history, rather erratic. Mr. Wheat- | ley persuasively argues that the| course only looks odd; that really | it was the best one Charles could have followed. The title of his book, by the way, is one of Charles’ nicknames. “Old Rowley” was his| favorite stallion. ANOTHER EPIC With the publication of “Com- pany Parade”” (Knopf) Storm Jameson is beginning another of those huge canvasss upon which the “contemporary scene” is to be painted. Tt is a sort of English “Men of Good Will,” although Miss Jameson does not plan more than six volumes, and Jules Romains is well along on his projected fif-| teen. Miss Jameson’s book is intended to cover the period from the end of the war on. Tts first volume is| devoted to an exploration of the| moods and motives and some of the doings of Hervey Russell and a group of people who center vague- ly around her. Hervey is a quite difficult young woman, unbearably rude one moment and astonishingly responsive the next. Her friends are also odd. Miss Jamieson has been heard from before on the subject of the war-shattered generation. “Com- pany Front” may very well be ac- cepted as a sort of overture to the drama to follow. The general title of the work is to be “The Mirror of Darkness.” | RUSSIAN AGAIN Those who have not yet tired of hearing about Russia, pro and con, may find “Escape From The So- viets” (Dutton) rewarding. It tells the old story of Russian bru- tality from a slightly different an- gle; Tatiana Tchernavin, the auth- or, and her husband were intellec- tuals caught up in the putsch of 1930. J Their prison experiences, their escape and their reactions to a somewhat brutal environment are told with simplicity and also with a developed dramatic sense.
