Phillips, David Graham. [Fortune hunter]; il. by E. M. Ashe. †$1.25. Bobbs.
The fortune hunter of the title of Mr. Phillips’ latest story is an actor who spends his days in making love to girls of wealthy parents. In ever choosing, in going out of his way, in fact, for the course of least resistance he comes to well deserved grief. And the hearts that are broken do mend.
“The story ... has little plot, but is deeply interesting from cover to cover; and the closing half of the volume is especially admirable.”

“Mr. Phillips tantalizes us with the richness of his material and provokes us by the comparatively meagre use that he has made of it.” H. T. P.
