Your review of Mr. Powys’s lectures have carried me back four years into
a period when I was studying music in New York with a Norwegian singer,
and she and I listened to him at the Brooklyn Institute week by week!
Never will I forget it. And she—well, she is a genius herself, an
interpreter of Norwegian folk songs—and Powys lit her soul until it
flamed forth like a beacon! If you heard his Shelley, I think you saw
the veritable incarnation of that transcendent spirit....
Then I listened to him again in Buffalo, last year, on Keats. And the
audience, mostly women (God forgive them!) seemed like school
children—no, I will not confound such innocent souls with the inert mass
that confronted him! And this is our culture!
I think the spirit of your magazine is to other magazines what Powys is
to other lecturers. He makes you forget that he is such. You become part
of his theme, or is it, _himself_? And so it is I seem both to lose and
find myself when I read the pages of THE LITTLE REVIEW.
The “Little Review” Gives a Party!
On April 27, at 8:15 P. M., the desperados who have helped to
perpetrate THE LITTLE REVIEW will entertain those who have
subscribed to it—and any others who are interested—in the Fine
Arts Building. Having bored you in print for over a year, they
are eager to do so in person.

_Two Worthwhile Novels for the Thinking Reader_
By the Author of “Carnival”
Sinister Street
By Compton Mackenzie
The story of Michael Fane, Oxford graduate, and his experiences
in London’s moral bypaths. Readers of “Carnival” found in the
author an artist who was as original as he was unusual, and in
this new story by the same author will be found a strong study of
a man worth knowing.
“It is just the book for those who have reached the age to
appreciate the god whom we do not know until we have ourselves
lost him forever—the divinity of youth.”—Truth.
“The author not only visualizes for us, he creates the very air
and smell of the underworld, and above all he shows us more
clearly than anyone else has done that the lives of the people
generally classed as criminals not only negative our morality,
but create a morality of their own which is, in its own sphere,
as negative as our own.”—T. P.’s Weekly.
