2 the convention was lost on him and he was bored stiff, I think. He thought Metropolis was fair but refused to say an awful lot about it. ~~ Anyway, he told me in his letter that he accidently double-exposed a roll of movie film he had shot at The World of Tomorrow and that the resulting montage was a horrible scramble. Aft5er describing it he added, 'I think I will send it to Caravan Hall to the Goofy club. They might go ga ga over it.' ~~ I felt a little sore at first but after I thought about it awhile the idea tickled me. Some people just never get the point do they? Oh, well............. We'll hold the clan together and forget what others think. SOS TIDAL WAVE played a one-night stand here and I was unable to see it. Now I'm watching the movie page to make sure I don't miss it next time it plays. I liked CLOUDS OVER EUROPE very much, not because of the ray sequences, (that part wasn't so hot) but because of Richardson's remarkable handling of his part. The son of a gun floored me. And I enjoyed seeing the Hobson gal again. And when I watched her walking around I kinda missed Henry Hull. What do I want for a quarter, anyhow? (Note: "SOS Tidal Wave", a future-film incorporating the destruction scenes from the movie version of "Deluge". Ralph Richardson: 'The Boss' in THINGS TO COME. Valerie Hobson: Wife of the "WereWolf of London".) ~~ I guess I'm about written out now, so I'll go away." (Come again, Kucera!) THE PAUSE THAT REFRESHES...THE MEMORY. On preceding pg we spoke of starting the dummy & that it was Dec. 1. Now 4 days have past since a finger was toucht to this typryter to continue with this, the 2d pg. At this rate U'll b c'ing us at Xmas, alrite: Xmas 1940! When this issue will be out, None But Lucifer knows; & he won't tell--that's the Hell of it! Production of this issue was interrupted Sunday, when we might conceivably have got some the dumdum done, by publishing of a 2d edit. of Ellay Esseffell's Final Word on the Nycon X Act, its cussings & reprecussings. (The foregoing will be so much gibberish to the uniniated reader.) Having made & maild 100 the wk bfor, we decided it desirable to distribute half a hundred more; whereat the statements were run off. We shall try to include one in each copy of this current VOM going to a new reader; shoud we somehow skip an interested person, however, please but send us a postcard to the effect that U woud like a copy of our "To Whom It May Concern", & we shall be glad to supply U one immediately free of charge. Speaking of things free, a word to newcomers: The professional publishers are ruining us, your fellow fans, with their announcements that fanmag editors are pleased to send sample copys, or will be happy to do so upon receit of a 3c stamp.. Friends, this mag--or maglet, maybe it doesnt compare with even half an Astounding or a Life or some other U coud get for the same price--but, our periodical at 10c is a GIFT! So give us a break? & send full price for samples henceforward. Average price of an amateur publication is 10c; their editors (synonymous in most cases with publishers) are not affluent, & require your monetary support aswelas moral. & U pro-eds, please take not! We immensely appreciate your publicity of our endeavors; but don't kill the fanman field by continuing the infor that all the eds provide complimentary copys! LET US LIVE! [signature] Walter Sullivan rememberd as a reported of fantasy radio plays - upon receit of some back number LA buquerque NM: "Both of my room-mates read most of them. They especialyl enjoyed Farley's short story ("The Man Who Coud Turn Back The Clock", Mikros #4, still available from us--Bx 6475 Met Sta, Los Angeles Cal, for 5c). They nearly died laughing over Bradbury's article ("Mathematica Minus"), Shreyer's blog and the article on Daw in Madge (IMAGINATION: #10, guest-edited by Chas D Hornig, still securable for 15c from 6475 etc). Just discovered one of them is crazy about stf. He just finished reading my copy of 'Seven Famous Novels by H.G. Wells.' It took him about four days.
