...Guinea, he began his jungle jaunts at five, and while still an adolescent became a blood brother of the Marind-Anim tribe. He returned to his native islands to make a travel film, having married the expedition's backer in Java and taken her along for the honeymoon. He says that some day he is going to bring back the dinosaur he saw and confound his skeptics. Meantime, he has brought back a passel of tales which raise the hair and eyebrows as high as any published since William Seabrook's 'jungle Ways...

...April number of the Advocate is in the generous selection it prints from the Harvard entries in the annual Story Magazine contest. Of these I liked Mr. Wenzel's "Journey to Shreveport" best. It is a more brutal and masculine rendering of the situation in Josephine Johnson's "Nigger Honeymoon," with the shock of full awareness reserved until the end. Although Mr. Wenzel makes good use of the excitement of his material, his story derives its value from his ability to observe, and from a sense of country passed through and the things people say and the disturbing fact that...
