It's Me O Lord

The Autobiography o, Rockwell Kent. Dodd, Mead, $1,0.00.

At seventy-three, Rockwell Kent can claim to have lived up to his favorite phrase, “Let’s get something done.”In his younger days, he built with his own hands the houses he lived in. He lias married three wives and conducted a number of apparently troublesome love affairs. His travels have carried him for long periods to Newfoundland and Alaska, Cireenland and Terra del Fuego. He lias waged legal warfare against a shipping line and a railroad; has crusaded for socialism for half a century; has worked busily as a commercial artist; and always he has kept on painting pictures. Mr. Kent, who proudly claims to he a Communist of sorts, emerges from Jus autobiography as a naively opinionated, incorrigibly rambunctious, but courageous and essentially well-meaning man. He tells the story of his Bohemian career with an unfortunate lack of selectivity but with a great deal of spirit.
