BOOK REVIEWED FOR
EL RENO STUDY CLUB
"Escape'* by Ethel Vance was re-
viewed by Miss Lucile Glover, El
Reno Carnegie librarian, fer mem-
bers of El Reno Study club at a
meeting Monday afternoon in the
home of Mrs. P. B. Myers, 1110
South Hoff avenue.
Mrs. Robert Greenleaf and Mrs.
Earl R. Woodhouse were guests for
the afterncon.
In her review Miss Glover point-
ed out that the book reflects a
certain type of government and
state of mind prevalent today. The
chief figure of the story is the
government of Germany with the
scene principally in a prison camp.
Emmie Ritter is sentenced to
death for non-allegiance to her
government and as the story opens
she is in a hospital for an ap-
pendectomy, which has forestalled
her execution. The story deals
throughout with the attempt to
move Emmie as a corpse and her
final escape through the help of
a son and friend’s in using an-
other person's passport.
At the club's meeting in two
weeks a lecture will be given by Dr.
Haskell Pruitt, professor at the
Oklahoma A. and M. college. Still-
water Place of the program has
not been arranged.
