Men of Genius
*are not born every minute—*

the Conrads and Santayanas of literature are as rare as the O'Hearns and Buells of football

YOU people of intelligence and sophistication are as necessary to men of genius as they are to you. They require your support fully as much as your team in today's game. "Yes," you reply, "but how in the welter of mediocrities and commercial reputations which now confront us, are we to meet the men of genius?"

THE DIAL stands between you and the barrage of tiresome books, atrocious plays, and abominable pictures with which you are steadily bombarded. Tiresome things are not mentioned in THE DIAL. Bad things are consigned to perdition, and good things are discussed by the most competent critics of Europe and America—men with whom even to disagree is a privilege.

Great audiences make for great art. Join THE DIAL'S audience, and come into stimulating contact with the foremost creative minds of our generation. A few of the men of genius who contribute to THE DIAL are pictured on this page. How many of them do you know? Don't wait for the next generation to see them in perspective, but enjoy their work now in THE DIAL and accord them your appreciation while they are yet alive.

One dollar will bring a four months' trial subscription. Regular annual rate five dollars.

THE DIAL is a magazine of the creative and the critical arts which neither publishes nor praises that very bad substitute for fine work, the faux bon.

The faux bon always looks a little bit better than good enough, but only a little bit. It has all the pretensions of creative integrity and none of its power. It is Rostand instead of Shakespeare, Schoenberg instead of Scriabine and the well-groomed, literary impostor instead of the spontaneous creator of lasting, artistic values. It is the triumph of technique over genius.

The faux bon compromises with the semi-popular highbrow standards of good form and good taste. THE DIAL makes no such compromise. Its only prejudice is in favour of clear thinking in criticism, and the fine expression of fine things in creative work. It has never rejected a manuscript because the author's name was unknown or taken one because the author is famous.

THE DIAL is each month an authoritative record of what the creative intelligence of the world is doing. It is liberal in letters. It offers the writers and artists of America complete independence from the limitations otherwise imposed upon publication of their work.

THE DIAL is not satisfied to be caviar to the general. It is caviar to the particular, to those who know the good from the false good.
