Fall, 1945 SUN SPOTS Page 6 Most time-travel is the conventional forward or back, either projecting the traveler as he is, or merely shifting the time to his own future or past. Stan was the first writer to send his protagonist sidewards in time, into the lands of "if", of "might have been". Stan has been acclaimed a potential Jules Verne or H. G. Wells, cut off at the threshold of success. But neither Verne nor Wells ever wrote with Stan's lyrical beauty. Nor did any of their fantasies ever equal Stan's concept of a three-dimensional all-five-senses mition picture, into which the audience could step and actually participate in the events, nor the perfectly obvious and yet wholly unexpected denouement of the story which involved that machine.
