Sirs: I think I see what you are trying to do- make a picture of the big news of the week like the London Illustrated News does. I think you've done not badly, in fact very well on the two occasions of the Supreme Court and the ZRS-4 Ring-Laying. But why not rely, as does the Illustrated News, on the camera?

When we add that she speaks in a husky voice and uses tangerine perfume, any reader familiar with One-a-minute-Oppenheim can visualize the type...
...characters (none of which all very well developed), the author has two coldblooded respectable villains, a distinguished authoress, a pure, untainted heroine, a weak-willed mother, a detective, a hero in the form of a nephew of the authoress, and a few minor personages playing lesser parts. In the way of situations, Mr. Reeve has an equally wide variety, none of them wholly credible or real...
