_Bambi_, by Marjorie Benton Cook. [Doubleday, Page and Company, New York.] "_Bambi_" is altogether delightful. After marrying a writer of impossible plays, she endeavors to support him and to teach him to support himself. She becomes an author, and with her delicious vanity, and knowledge of her ability to wind men around her tiny finger, uses her own fame as a lever to place her husband among the successful playwrights. This sprightly midget is one of the most lovable characters we have met in many moons. The Reader Critic "_Gaudeamus_": In these historic days I cannot think of your September issue in other terms than as of a Zeppelin hurling bombs into the enemy's strongholds. From the first to the last page (yes, even the letters!) I read the copy to an imaginary beating of drums, blasting of trumpets, fluttering of banners. When I reached the last line, I relaxed in nervous expectation of the results of the grandiose charge: Will there be no explosion, no earthquake? I ask this question in dead earnest. THE LITTLE REVIEW has become definite in one point--in its uncompromising warfare against the rotten features of the existing order. In this one issue you have attacked with the fervor of unhesitating youth some of the stanchest fortified dunghills of American life and art. From _Armageddon_, that merciless bomb into the camp of provincial complacency prevailing in this country, through the execution of academical _Grocers_, through the venomous _Democrat_ that reveals the beauty of constructive hatred, down to the palpitating letter of the "Boy-Reader" who deals a tender death-blow to the despotic authoritativness of parenthood,--I scent war powder! And with hope and anxiety I put the question once more: Will there be no response to the call of the clarion? Will your battle-cry not be echoed by young America, who for the first time hear a free unmercenarized word? Will your courageous gospel not stir the hearts of college men and women, those who have not yet been completely philistinized by their "vocational guides"; college men and women who in other countries have always been the torch-bearers, the advance-guard and martyrs in the fights for truth and ideals? Will THE LITTLE REVIEW not succeed in creating a _Drang und Sturm_ epoch? A negative answer would spell a death-verdict for the future of this over-dollarized land. _An Interested Reader, Chicago_: THE LITTLE REVIEW bubbles over with enthusiasm and love of life. Here is an instance of a losing fight with life--perhaps it may interest you.
