The OrACKle Speaks--

Pardon my modern accent if I sound like Rap enthusing over a 1000 pg Quarterly but I'm excited as a Palmeranian pooch at the prospect of our 5th Annish. I've been looking over the material on hand & considering what's been promist & what's likely to come. To begin at the beguine-ing, an intoxicating tempo will be set with the fanograficover. We've a lovely line-up of famous faces, & viceversa. Cunningham--Bovard--Tom Daniel. We've Harry Schmarje. Virginia "Nanek" Combs (Anderson). Walt Liebscher--full face. Youd of England, Enid Evans of Australia. And, out of the past, Miske...& Lenard of Hungary! To cap the climax, there will be featured our most sensational fantasy nude! U can imagine what that means. A world-famous model in a pose without clothes that woud appeal to a man of steel. 'Roberta' woud make a herat of iron melt. A life-sub to Vom if we're rong. Alluring, fantastic, daring, "different". See for yourself--don't miss it! Now let's preview the ToC. There U'll find such contributors with fine ltters as Larry Shaw, DRSmith, Jack Speer, Pvt Connor (Unless Ed's upt his rank by then; woud sound nice, woudnt it?: Cpl Connor!) & many more. U will learn at last the Truth about Tigrina, as reveald by Elmer Perdue, only fan outside self ever to meet fandom's ex-mystery girl. There will be a Witch Hazel cartoon by Tig. And a neat cartoon by BEB. A lithoed art insert by Tom Wright. And possibly an article by...but let us quote from his airmailetter of 29 Sep: "I'll try to send you the stuff you want for the magazine. But don't be impatient. I have a 60,000-word book to write for the organization in the next three weeks on 'The Story Behind the Story'."--Signed, ABE MERRITT, whom U all noe as the Editor of American Wkly, altho it is not generally noen he also has authord a few bks, among them "The Face in the
