...technique, his style, his manner, there is nothing to be said, save that it is like the technique, style, and manner of every scribbler for "woodpulp publications", garnished previously with a touch of sauciness and rather new spice. We say "previously" advisedly; for as has been hinted, his "Tales" fall below even the standard set by "Flappers" et al.; the sauciness has run dry and the spice become flat and tasteless. The "Tales" show a marked weakening. Fitzgerald went up like a rocket; but now that he has reached his apex and is in danger of descending like the stick...

Mr. Saunders's cover in the manner of Maxfield Parrish and his rapid sketch of a Spanish maiden and gallant have distinction. One unsigned drawing entitled "Little Willie's Idea of African Golf" is also inspired. But the other drawings do not stray far from the conventional. Indeed, the art department appears to be the weakest part of the Lampoon. The magazine seems written with more freshness than is the case in those frequent, bare years when...
