what the Larist thinks and certainly Schnitzler need not only on
the Lariat to establish or destroy his reputation in the United
States. In the West there was nothing but prise for the novel:
"The telling of the story is a triumph in economical expression.
How perfect the workmanship that carries each impolling missive
through to its logical conclusion! The interest does not once lag.
The novel is marked by an air of breathless suspense.” (2)
The novel is short and done in auift, telling lines which no-
where permit one's interest to flag, nor for that matter, believe
thebringing dramatic quality of the story. It is a swift,
dramatic story, done with the sharp clear strokes of Schnitzler -
a manner which involves no useless words, no Halting movement - a
manner in which even the descriptions are fraught with dramatio
significance." (3) Theseler admits "Hugo is unconvincing and
unreal" but, in direct contrediction to the Ealtindre Evening Sun
which believes, "Bestrice is only character in a book,” (4)
the Leado rmaintains, "The character of Bentrice and the détails
of her struggle lack not an lots of reality and conviction.
another illustration of difference of opinion can be found in two

Washington hold, "Bestrice is a work of art, not merely a case
history.” (5) and the Brocklyn obily wlle is equally sure it is
mere "Clinion.” (6) Max A. Egloff has attempted "to see
both sides of the story.” In his opinion “Herr Schnitzler does in
Beatrice precisely what he has done for thirty-four years through
a list of playe and novels long as Gargantua's arm, namely, per-
forns a laboratory experiment in crotic psychology which will ti-
tillate the entire congregation of repressed äumanity. His works
beer the imprint of a scientifie rather than an crotic mind." (7)

Bestrice's character leads seems nothing more than a melodramatic
