SUMMER WILL SHOW--Sylvia Townsend Warner--Viking ($2.50). Wordy, but rarely dull, Author Warner turns to French political history, presenting an ambitious character study of a strongwilled, wealthy young Englishwoman who, captivated by her faithless husband's ex-mistress, casts off fortune, respectability; donates her services to the underground revolutionists; in time's nick escapes being shot for participating in the abortive Parisian insurrection of 1848.

CHOOSE A BRIGHT MORNING--Hillel Bernstein--Stokes ($2). In a worthy successor to L'Affaire Jones, Satirist Bernstein flits gracefully from light comedy to stinging irony, never wavering from his determination to ridicule dictators in general, Realmleader Hitler in particular.

MOTHER OF THE BRIDE--Alice Grant Rosman--Putnam ($2). An adept at pleasant solution of English middle-class family problems, Author Rosman deftly pilots three sets of lovers to a happy landing in a fluffy tale which should meet the clamor for hot-weather entertainment.
