...Grace's voice go out unto the uttermost parts of the Empire...
DOWN THERE?J. K. Huysmans? A. & C. Boni ($2.50). A sizzling, sulphuric translation of La Bas?the uttermost in demonology. With its pseudo-scientific basis of historical fact, in the story of Bluebeard and the study of the cult of Satanism and the Black Mass, the book is bloodcurdling, grotesquely horrible, reminiscent of William Blake. But then, one does not expect an Elsie Dinsmore story inside of a blood-red cover spouting pitchforks and lurid tongues of flame. The startled Manhattan censors recently frowned upon...

And now, like Oden's ravens he brings back tidings, not from all corners of the globe perhaps, but far more remarkable for a Cambridge foaled beast, from twelve states outside of New England! And the genius, his flowing robes girl up about his loins, his wreath becomingly arranged, his lyre attuned to the typewriter--raises the ante. The prize for the best word to describe...
