The DIAL

*A Journal of Art and Letters*

THE DIAL is not just "another magazine." It is the only periodical which may justly be said to represent American culture. Distinguished in form and content, charming and lively, it is recognized by cultivated people here and abroad as the one magazine which could be called a luxury for the mind, a companion which you will not want to forego.

THE DIAL is a magazine representative of the open secret of all humanistic refinement, namely a Criticism of Life in terms of an Aesthetic Spectacle alone.

The sole purpose of THE DIAL is to bring the work of the artists who count to the people who care. Each month the significant works of the creative minds of the world—in fiction, poetry, the essay, and the graphic and plastic arts, appear in its pages. In addition it affords a complete survey of books, music, art, and the theatre—in short, a *compte rendu* of what the intelligent world is doing and thinking.

## The DIAL on Your Library Table

will be a charming companion in the long winter evenings when you wish to withdraw into your own circle of musical interests. It will keep you in touch with what is being thought, said, and done in the world of music.

If you are interested in this phase of THE DIAL alone, we will be glad to send you the issues in which the Musical Chronicle will appear (December through May) for only $2.00.

If your interests lead you further you may subscribe at our regular rate of $5.00 and receive THE DIAL for December 1924 and all of 1925. Additional subscriptions in the name of friends who share your enjoyment in music and other forms of art may be had for only $3.00, thus solving for you thus early the difficult problem of Christmas gifts which reflect thought and appreciation of your friends' aesthetic standards.

If you are very, very modern you will want to read "The Seven Lively Arts" by Gilbert Seldes, in which the former managing editor of THE DIAL interprets the very lively art of Jazz. This together with your subscription to THE DIAL for a year will cost you only $6.00. The book alone is $4.00.

Let us know your preference today and prepare for a season of enjoyment.

## An Appreciation of The Dial

"All for all, THE DIAL is the most securely poised contemporary magazine in the English language. It would take the crew of the English Review, the Adelphi, and such weeklies as the Nation and Athenaeum, and the New Statesman every month to supply a rival in all-round excellence to it. . . . There is certainly very little in contemporary American literature to suggest the existence of a sufficient number of the type of reader necessary to ensure the commercial success (or, rather, self-supportability) of such an organ as THE DIAL. Yet it is in its twenty-seventh volume and continues to appear regularly."

"The editors of THE DIAL may be counted as among the twenty ablest editors of their time—creative artists whose decisions have an immensely formative effect, whose tastes and tendencies are directly determinative to no considerable degree of the course of the world's arts today and prophetic of, and to some extent causative of, the future of civilization. To my mind they are fulfilling their functions and discharging their far-reaching responsibilities in a manner beyond all praise."

—Living Age, London, September 25, 1924.
