...certain vulgarisms which he permits himself in private have led to a contrary impression. His writing career began in his native town, on the Baltimore Sun, to the editorial staff of which he now belongs. With Mr. Nathan he rose to repute as one of the editors of the Smart Set, and to fame as the editor of the American Mercury which the two started in 1923.
