OTHER WORLDS page 5 NUZ -------------------------- J. T. Oliver *If you like good fantasy movies don't miss Stairway to Heaven -- a rather new British technicolor triumph. This picture isn't the ordinary Hollywoodish idea of Fantasy; it's really tops. *Radio fans will probably be interested to know that comedian Fred Allen's favorite story is Frankenstein. Orson Well's favorite is Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea. *Guerry Brown informs me that Well's First Men in the Moon is available in Dell (pocket size) Books at twenty five cents. So far I haven't been able to find it. ((It's on the stands now.)) *If anyone knows the title to the sequal to Heinlein's Universe, please write and tell me. I'm anxious to read it. *Space is curved, there is no infinite, light bends, and Einstein is right! Scientist have learned all that from studying photos of an eclipse. I learned it from a news paper story. Incidentally, it's much easier that way. *The Avon Fantasy Reader seems to have suspended publication. I've been expecting No. five for several weeks, but haven't found it yet. *The author of Doc Savage, Kenneth Robeson, is a scout master in his home town in Missouri. * A postal clerk here recently said, "I used to read science-fiction. The science was okay but the fiction nearly drove me nuts." He musta been readin' ol' Nameless Stories. *Dunk announces that he is considering plans for publishing Fanews on a regular schedule. Hope the plans work out, 'cause most fans agree that irregularity is the only major fault of his paper. *F F M continues it's monotonous habit of reprinting British fantasy books. None of the fans seem to kike the idea, but still they keep it up. Presumably, the general public goes in for dull historical novels. If it weren't for F. N. we'd be in a helluva fix for fantasy. *J. J. Stamp writes that Canadians cannot buy U.S. magazines anymore, due to Government controls. The only way they can get them now is thru U. S. Fans. [page break] Magazines for sale.... AMAZING STORIES :: 1939 - July, Nov. @ .50 // 1940 - March .45 // 1941 - Oct., Nov. @ .45 // 1943 - Jan., Feb. (cover on with adhesive tape) Mar. @ .40 // 1944 - Jan., Dec. @ .35 // 1946 - Feb., May @ .30 // FANTASTIC ADVENTURES :: 1941 - September .45 // 1942 - Mar., April @ .40 // 1943 - July, Aug. @ .40 // 1946 - Feb., May, Sept. @ .30 // from: Paul D. Cox - 3401 6th Avenue - Columbus, Georgia [page break] * H. P. Lovecraft's The Lurking Fear and Other Stories on sale in Avon pocket size books. Price 25 cents. It looks pretty interesting and there are several stories in it which I believe have never been published before in a cheap edition; or, at least not in recent years. * Startling Stories becomes twenty cents per copy with the March 1948 issue. The number of pages is increased by 32.
