THE RED BOOK

This certainly is the golden age Tor the writer of fiction. few years ago. magazines depended on such features as their muck -raking articles to lure readers, but these days it is the quality of fiction offered which determines the circulation. Perhaps this is because the public is being satiated with serious news by the war dispatches in the news papers; at any rate, those magazines which are printing the greatest amount of material designed to enable one to forget sober issues like the war, are showing the greatest growth. Of the all-fiction publications, The Red Book magazine has established a class for itself. The reason is apparent from study of the current lSSue-the NO- vember issue. There are three serials, by Rupert Hughes, Meredith Nicholson and Gilbert Parker, any one of which would have been considered an unus- ual headliner a short time back, and twelve short stories. The leading fea- ture among these is a short story by J. NJ. Barrie-it's just the sort of whim- sical bit of humor you'd hope Barrie might write; and in addition you find short stories by James Oliver Curwood, Maude Radford Warren, Albert Pay son Terhune Walter Jones, Ellis Par ker Butler.
