Everybody in Vienna knows Peter Altenberg. He is a poet of the street,
who goes around and writes down his little sketches wherever he may
be--principally in the cafes.
All the women must love him--for he has sung their praises all his life,
like a minnesinger of the Middle Ages.

Some Emma Goldman Lectures in Chicago
Beginning October 25, and continuing for three weeks, Miss Goldman is to
give a series of new lectures in the Assembly Hall of the Fine Arts
Building--an event which has already filled us with the keenest
anticipations. There will be three on the war:--_Woman and War_, _War
and Christianity_, and _The Sanctity of Property as a Cause of War_.
There will be a series on the drama, as the mirror of rebellion against
the tyranny of the past:--an introductory one on the significance of art
in its relation to life, and others on the new Scandinavian, Italian,
German, French, Russian, Yiddish, American, and English drama. These
will be given on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights, and
offer sufficient richness for one season. But there is even more. On
Monday and Wednesday nights, at East End Hall on Erie and Clark Streets,
Miss Goldman will deliver six general propaganda lectures, all dealing
with the labor problem and the sex question. Tickets will be on sale at
the office of THE LITTLE REVIEW; at The Radical Book Shop, 817½ North
Clark Street; and may be had also from Dr. Reitman, 3547 Ellis Avenue.
How interesting it will be to watch that part of the audience which
attends the war and the drama talks as perfectly "safe" subjects making
its discovery that the lecturer is a woman of simple nobility and
sweetness, and that her propaganda is a matter of truth rather than of
terror.
