It is not always easy to discov- er the reason-s for a great speech. There must. be an audience, able and ready to respond. There must be a speaker at once inspired and inspiring. To these must be added an extra spark in the occasion capable of touching off the mys- terious power that. is eloquence. Some such combination of events plainly surrounded Eve Curie on Tuesday at the Hotel Astor. ‘muse who attended the Book and Ali- thor luncheon - 1n the shadow of t-he news from Norvv'a_v—are stz-ll talking of her stirring presence and the poignancy of tier voice. But. the inspiration of the moment unmistakably catfied over to the printed text. Her winged words deserve to endure as an example of right and moving speech. ‘The philosophy iirtpliclt in her thought, like the beauty of her words. stands above place or person. A serene and brave woman spoke her faith. No one could listen without taking heart. and gaining wisdom- -New York Herald Tribune.
