where to go. In this article 1 tell of
country which is as little known to
American hunters as 1t is easily acces-
sible, and which is the best hunting
ground in North America. 1 make this
statement only after having hunted all
northern game, from moose to caribou
and musk-ox; and the statements in
the article may be thoroughly relied
upon" The article is illustrated with
many photographs which were taken
by the author himself in his own ex
perience while hunting in the wilds of
Canada. 1t is written in Mr.. Cur

of adventure aside from it's bearing on
the question of recreation for business

The Green Book Album for October
may readily be identified among all the
other magazines by it's charming por-
trait cover of Mrs. Nat Goodwin (Edna
Goodrich). The unique pictorial section
showing many of our most prominent
players in their private lives is espe-

feature of the issue is a complete novel
ization of THE House Next Door," the
racial comedy which has aroused so
much discussion. Among the better
articles to the October number are
Della Fox, Frank Mcintyre, Richard
Golden, Raymond Hitchcock and
Richard earle. Buffalo Bill tells of his
millions of friends and G. H. Payne
contributes an intimate account of the
personality and work of Charles Klein.
An article that many theater goers will
especially care for is,"The Evolution of
Minstrelsy" by Arthur Gillespie. The
new plays are discussed brilliantly by
Charming Pollock, and Rennold Wolf
offers a grist of new Broadway stories.
Numerous other articles of lively in

serve to make the Green Book Album
for October quite the best issue of this
original magazine thus far published.

No other magazine of the month con-
tains anything like so many important
discussions relating to municipal
progress and fundamental democracy
as does the Twentieth Century Maya
zine, the new review edited by B. o.
Flower, the founder of the Arena. 1t
opens with a brilliant and informing
paper entitled What Happened in
Pasadena: The Story of a Municipal
Triumph" in which Francis Marshall
Elliott describes the most democratic
of all city charters and graphically
records the successful battle of the
city for public ownership.
Los Angeles Victorious Battle for
a Municipal Harbor and Wharves" is
