He does not care for construc-\ntion. He does not build up situations carefully. There is\nno painstaking architecture of actions. We do not admire\nthe objective correctness, or consequence of the characters\nhe paints; all we see is the gripping life and the brutal truth\nof detail.

There are the barrows\nin the roadway in the Farringdon Road, where you may get\na beautiful text of Aeskhylos or Terence for a penny, or\nunearth a neglected Aldine from a mass of rubbish, if you\nare lucky.\nHarold Monro's Poetry Bookshop, in Devonshire street,\nhas been the subject of many articles, I fancy, some of\nwhich have appeared in American journals. Yet, possibly\nthe real reason for the existence of such a shop has never\nbeen explained. In planning his venture, Mr. Monro per-\nceived what all modern poets have had to face at one time\nor another of their careers that the ordinary channels of\napproach between author and public are closed for them.\nTo the average bookseller all new peotry is dead. To him\nits birth certificate is also its death certificate. Under pres-\nsure he will order you a copv of a book of contemporary\nverse, but he would rather not. It employs the energies of\nhis staff in an unprofitable adventure. As a result, tdhe\nauthor of a book of new poetry has to find an opening for\nit himself. He must, when he has written it, become com-\nmercial traveller for it and actual, if not nominal, publisher\nas well. Mr. Monro saw this, as we have all seen it, and the\nobvious deduction from it was that in order that contem-\nporary poetry may have a chance to exist, the public for\nwhom it is intended must be brought together. First, tfhis\npublic, which, after the dissipation of theYellow Book\nmovement and the art-culture of the nineties, was scattered\nand lost, must be rediscovered. Monro set himself the\ntask of appealing directly to this lost public, this audience of\nawakened and awakening souls. I am sure it was no easy\ntask, but in a measure it has been successfully accomplished.\nThe proprietor of The Peotry Bookshop was the man to\ncarry the scheme through. He had a genuine love of poetry\nfor its own sake, and in a sense he was incorruptible—that is,\nhe would not come down to publishing rubbishy verse be-\ncause the author of it was a wealthy person who could af-\nford to offer a nice bonus over the printing cost. Monro\nhad a quarterly review, Poetry and Drama, which he al-\nlowed to perish soon after the war began—too timidly, I\nthink. The Poetry Bookshop is now—even in war time—a\nsuccessful venture. Its danger, of course, is that it will be\ntoo successful and prefer a good balance-sheet to the austere\nservice of the Muses.\nEverybody knows \"Dan's,\" or Dan Rider's bookshopj\nDan is \"the laughing bookseller,\" the friend of the impover-\nished artist, the proprietor of the smallest and jolliest Bo-"}, {"page_pdf": 7, "page_imprimee": "507", "url_page": "https://bluemountain.princeton.edu/bluemtn/?a=d&d=bmtnaaq19160226-01.1.7", "debut_caractere": 16, "fin_caractere_exclue": 874, "texte": "hemian club in London, the first man American writers visit\nwhen they come to London.

BRENNAN, of the Medical Science Department of\n** • the John Crerar Library, of Chicago, has done tobacco\nin general and the much abused cigarette, especially, a great\nservice. His book, \"Tobacco Leaves,\" just published by the\nIndex Office, Inc., in Wenasha, Wisconsin, contains the his-\ntory of tobacco, in all the forms it is being used, from the\nstandpoint of a scientist ,from the standpoint of a manu-\nfacturer, of a salesman and of a consumer. There are chap-\nters devoted to the botanical evolution of the tobacco plant\nand to the cultivation of the tobacco plant. There are a\nlot of statistics which are really a little bit dry for the aver-\nage tobacco lover and tobacco user. But there are such\nrelieving chapters as \"Cigarettes,\" \"Snuff,\" \"Pyschological\nEffects of Smoking.\" And tfhen there is a vast amount of\nquotations from medical journals, and from the pages of\nthe best books of our best authors. Here is one, that should\nbe read by those who always advocate the cigarette as one\nof the causes of a national decadence. It is from the New\nYork Medical Journal of July 25, 1914, an editorial: \"Par-\nticularly do the uninformed enjoy an attack on the cigarette;\nit is small, and its patrons, numerous as they are, yet form\nan insignificant minority in our immense population. There-\nfore, the cigarette and its users are fair game for cheap and\nsilly sneers; sneers which are capable, however, of cowing\nan entire legislature, as in Georgia, at this moment. Yet,\nbeyond cavil, it has been proved scientifically that of all\nmethods of using tobacco, CIGARETTE SMOKING IS\nTHE LEAST HARMFUL. Some months ago, the \"Lan-\ncet\" undertook a careful laboratory study of the various ways\nof consuming tobacco, with the result that it was found\nthat cigarettes, Egyptian, Turkish and American, yielded the\nleast amount of nicotine to the smoke formed; the cigar\ncame next in point of harmfulness, while the pipe over-\nshadowed the cigar to the extent that from 70 to 90 per\ncent, of nicotine was said to exist in its smoke.\n\"As to the paper of cigarettes, the attacks are simply pre-\nposterous. Men are well within their rights in forbidding\ncigarette smoking and other pleasures and distractions t<o\ntheir employes; it is another matter when they seize an op-\nportunity to compound with vices they have a mind to, by\ndamning one they're not inclined to, especially when the\nlatter affords solace and recreation to millions perfectly\ncapable of judging what is and what is not good for them.\nIn Europe, where a good deal of logical thinking still pre-\nvails, there is probably not one smoker of distinction in any\nwalk of life who does not include the cigarette in his nico-\ntine armamentarium.\"\nAlfred Knopf and \"Homo Sapiens\"\nI do not know whether it is true, but if the rumors that\nMr. Knopf, who was arrested by Sumner, at present Ameri-\nca's Anthony Comstock, for publishing Przbyszewski's"}, {"page_pdf": 15, "page_imprimee": "515", "url_page": "https://bluemountain.princeton.edu/bluemtn/?a=d&d=bmtnaaq19160226-01.1.15", "debut_caractere": 16, "fin_caractere_exclue": 2693, "texte": "\"Homo Sapiens\" has pleaded guilty, he did something which\ncommands even more respect than to publish the book in\nquestion.\nI do not know who this Mr. Knopf is; letters I have writ-\nten him have come back as undelivered; but if he really has\nthe courage of conviction to sacrifice the publicity connected\nwith such a process in court, and would rather suffer finan-\ncial loss than to drag a work of art, which is unquestionably\nthigh above suspicion, through the sewers of our yellow jour-\nnalism in order to sell a good many copies to seekers after\nthe obscene, he must command the respect of everybody\nwho knew Przbysewski. \"Homo Sapiens\" was written in\nthe Berlin days of the then exiled Pole.

No new color schemes, no unexpected effects\nor revolutionizing stage features, no architecture, producing\noptical illusicns on the stage. It will be a show house in\nthe realest sense of the word. A house where something\nis shown.\nT'he things which are put on show being the only reason\nfor the existence of the house, and its main and sole feature.\nOnly with physical comfort is the human mind susceptible\nto new impressions, ready to listen, to like or dislike, to\napprove of or to reject. An unprejudiced mind must be\nhoused in a comfortable-feeling, self-unconscious body.\nTherefore, comfortable armchairs are provided with plenty\nof room to the right and to the left, to enable one to change\none's position easily, and plenty of space between rows, so\nthat the legs do not feel stepmotherly treated.\nThe stage is simple. Just an elevation, with no other\npurpose than to expose the performers conspicuously to\neverybody present. ACTING IS GOOD AS THE RESULT\nOF BEING ITSELF. Therefore, stage settings of more\nor less conspicuous designs, decorations of all kinds, the\nappliance of the science of stage lighting are only irritating\nand distractive to the attention.\n\nMiss Julia by August Strindberg\njypSS JULIA is the strongest of the naturalistic\ndramas Strindberg wrote in the best years of his life.\nHe considered it himself the best work that he had ever"}, {"page_pdf": 5, "page_imprimee": "505", "url_page": "https://bluemountain.princeton.edu/bluemtn/?a=d&d=bmtnaaq19160226-01.1.5", "texte": "BRUNO'S WEEKLY\n\ndone. The Swedish censors prohibited its production in\nSweden, and it was acted in New York but once—at a private\nperformance, some years ago, before an invited audience in\nthe Forty-eighth Street Theatre.\nStrindberg is no playwright, from the standpoint of the\nmodern theatrical producer. He does not care for construc-\ntion. He does not build up situations carefully. There is\nno painstaking architecture of actions. We do not admire\nthe objective correctness, or consequence of the characters\nhe paints; all we see is the gripping life and the brutal truth\nof detail. Strindberg is not satisfied that we see the things\nhe chooses to show us, but we have to feel them on our\nskin. We have to bump against them if we find ourselves\nunexpectedly confronted with them. He is not a planner who\nbuilds up his work before our eyes.

Strindberg has an uncanny power\nto paint the wild and hunted life of the minute, and the\nexplosion of actions, the hissing vapors of wrath. He\nknows better than anyone else how to show us everything\nanimal and primitive in the life of the soul, the hatred and\nanger, the combat between hostile wills, but also resigna-\ntion, weariness, and dejection.

I scarcely know where to begin or with whom.\nThere is \"The Poetry Bookshop, and Dan Rider's, well\nknown to American literary men and artists, and the Bomb\nShop in Charing Cross Road, with its Socialist and Anarchist\nliterature, and Beaumont's, opposite, with the delightful\ndrawings by continental artists, and Reeves, by Waterloo\nBridge, who buys the reviewers' review copies, and Mr.\nShore's Book Parlour, off Holborn. There are the barrows\nin the roadway in the Farringdon Road, where you may get\na beautiful text of Aeskhylos or Terence for a penny, or\nunearth a neglected Aldine from a mass of rubbish, if you\nare lucky.\nHarold Monro's Poetry Bookshop, in Devonshire street,\nhas been the subject of many articles, I fancy, some of\nwhich have appeared in American journals. Yet, possibly\nthe real reason for the existence of such a shop has never\nbeen explained. In planning his venture, Mr. Monro per-\nceived what all modern poets have had to face at one time\nor another of their careers that the ordinary channels of\napproach between author and public are closed for them.\nTo the average bookseller all new peotry is dead. To him\nits birth certificate is also its death certificate. Under pres-\nsure he will order you a copv of a book of contemporary\nverse, but he would rather not. It employs the energies of\nhis staff in an unprofitable adventure. As a result, tdhe\nauthor of a book of new poetry has to find an opening for\nit himself. He must, when he has written it, become com-\nmercial traveller for it and actual, if not nominal, publisher\nas well. Mr. Monro saw this, as we have all seen it, and the\nobvious deduction from it was that in order that contem-\nporary poetry may have a chance to exist, the public for\nwhom it is intended must be brought together. First, tfhis\npublic, which, after the dissipation of theYellow Book\nmovement and the art-culture of the nineties, was scattered\nand lost, must be rediscovered. Monro set himself the\ntask of appealing directly to this lost public, this audience of\nawakened and awakening souls. I am sure it was no easy\ntask, but in a measure it has been successfully accomplished.\nThe proprietor of The Peotry Bookshop was the man to\ncarry the scheme through. He had a genuine love of poetry\nfor its own sake, and in a sense he was incorruptible—that is,\nhe would not come down to publishing rubbishy verse be-\ncause the author of it was a wealthy person who could af-\nford to offer a nice bonus over the printing cost. Monro\nhad a quarterly review, Poetry and Drama, which he al-\nlowed to perish soon after the war began—too timidly, I\nthink. The Poetry Bookshop is now—even in war time—a\nsuccessful venture. Its danger, of course, is that it will be\ntoo successful and prefer a good balance-sheet to the austere\nservice of the Muses.\nEverybody knows \"Dan's,\" or Dan Rider's bookshopj\nDan is \"the laughing bookseller,\" the friend of the impover-\nished artist, the proprietor of the smallest and jolliest Bo-"}, {"page_pdf": 7, "page_imprimee": "507", "url_page": "https://bluemountain.princeton.edu/bluemtn/?a=d&d=bmtnaaq19160226-01.1.7", "texte": "BRUNO'S WEEKLY\n\nhemian club in London, the first man American writers visit\nwhen they come to London.

His book, \"Tobacco Leaves,\" just published by the\nIndex Office, Inc., in Wenasha, Wisconsin, contains the his-\ntory of tobacco, in all the forms it is being used, from the\nstandpoint of a scientist ,from the standpoint of a manu-\nfacturer, of a salesman and of a consumer. There are chap-\nters devoted to the botanical evolution of the tobacco plant\nand to the cultivation of the tobacco plant. There are a\nlot of statistics which are really a little bit dry for the aver-\nage tobacco lover and tobacco user. But there are such\nrelieving chapters as \"Cigarettes,\" \"Snuff,\" \"Pyschological\nEffects of Smoking.\" And tfhen there is a vast amount of\nquotations from medical journals, and from the pages of\nthe best books of our best authors. Here is one, that should\nbe read by those who always advocate the cigarette as one\nof the causes of a national decadence. It is from the New\nYork Medical Journal of July 25, 1914, an editorial: \"Par-\nticularly do the uninformed enjoy an attack on the cigarette;\nit is small, and its patrons, numerous as they are, yet form\nan insignificant minority in our immense population. There-\nfore, the cigarette and its users are fair game for cheap and\nsilly sneers; sneers which are capable, however, of cowing\nan entire legislature, as in Georgia, at this moment. Yet,\nbeyond cavil, it has been proved scientifically that of all\nmethods of using tobacco, CIGARETTE SMOKING IS\nTHE LEAST HARMFUL. Some months ago, the \"Lan-\ncet\" undertook a careful laboratory study of the various ways\nof consuming tobacco, with the result that it was found\nthat cigarettes, Egyptian, Turkish and American, yielded the\nleast amount of nicotine to the smoke formed; the cigar\ncame next in point of harmfulness, while the pipe over-\nshadowed the cigar to the extent that from 70 to 90 per\ncent, of nicotine was said to exist in its smoke.\n\"As to the paper of cigarettes, the attacks are simply pre-\nposterous. Men are well within their rights in forbidding\ncigarette smoking and other pleasures and distractions t<o\ntheir employes; it is another matter when they seize an op-\nportunity to compound with vices they have a mind to, by\ndamning one they're not inclined to, especially when the\nlatter affords solace and recreation to millions perfectly\ncapable of judging what is and what is not good for them.\nIn Europe, where a good deal of logical thinking still pre-\nvails, there is probably not one smoker of distinction in any\nwalk of life who does not include the cigarette in his nico-\ntine armamentarium.\"\nAlfred Knopf and \"Homo Sapiens\"\nI do not know whether it is true, but if the rumors that\nMr. Knopf, who was arrested by Sumner, at present Ameri-\nca's Anthony Comstock, for publishing Przbyszewski's"}, {"page_pdf": 15, "page_imprimee": "515", "url_page": "https://bluemountain.princeton.edu/bluemtn/?a=d&d=bmtnaaq19160226-01.1.15", "texte": "BRUNO'S WEEKLY\n\n\"Homo Sapiens\" has pleaded guilty, he did something which\ncommands even more respect than to publish the book in\nquestion.\nI do not know who this Mr. Knopf is; letters I have writ-\nten him have come back as undelivered; but if he really has\nthe courage of conviction to sacrifice the publicity connected\nwith such a process in court, and would rather suffer finan-\ncial loss than to drag a work of art, which is unquestionably\nthigh above suspicion, through the sewers of our yellow jour-\nnalism in order to sell a good many copies to seekers after\nthe obscene, he must command the respect of everybody\nwho knew Przbysewski. \"Homo Sapiens\" was written in\nthe Berlin days of the then exiled Pole.
