Bible in Living Literature Tops 1936 Best Sellers
A column notes The Bible Designed to Be Read as Living Literature is a top seller, praising its minimal notes and accessible dress. It highlights how Shaw, Meredith, Wharton, Gladstone, Bryan, and Ingersoll drew on the King James Bible, with St James as a model for style. The piece shifts to New York's Hotel Astor as a social hub, and recalls a London 1907 English Costume vending a maid of honor’s daily rations. It closes with summaries of contemporary tastes, Oppenheimer, and Julius Tannen’s move to film.
