16 THE FANTASITE absent-mindedly let his glims rest on a pair of gams (purty) that happened to cross his bleared vision...Actually, Ebey was at fault again... Watch the pages of the latest fanmags if you wish to know which fans are ready for the professional stfiction magazines. You will find Tom Wright, evident in Southern Star and Dawn and Spaceways. You'll glimpse Bob Jones in Pegasus and Fanfare. Then, down to the stfictional angle of good authorship, Joe Gilbert, Harry Jenkins, Bob Tucker, and perhaps George Cowie and Louis Smith prove they're no one's suckers, even though they don't get paid in such affairs as Endymion, Southern Star, Dawn, Polaris, Tellus, and several others. While it seems a crude way of putting the screws on the squares, this is one fellow who hopes that they don't get a chance to contribute to fanmags much longer. Oh-my, how rumors do fly...Fantasite may go monthly before too much time has passed...Nebula and FFF may combine forces to insure unprecedented size and publication schedule. Both forces seem to have the same aims, but it's beyond most fans as to how these radically differing forces can stay together for long...Golden Gate Fantasy Society may work up a Pacific Coast Conference, but said gathering will not take place until early in 1943...It's true and it's wonderful: Doug Blakely is playing lead alto and tenor sax in an all-girl orchestra. Singing a little on the side, Doug says that there are potentialities than might meet the eye. Or, then again, they might not meet the eye... Hail the newest artist: Joe Gibson, 224 North High Stree, Albuquerque, New Mexico...Meet the latest poet: Olivia Freeman, P. O. Box 374, Granbury, San Francisco, California. Odors of Junior Kummer to Unknown Worlds for buying the same plot from L. Sprague de Camp about a dozen times in a row, mainly the plots appearing in novels. The policy that seems to fit the latest Unky issues is "we buy anything that's interesting-- to Campbell". On second thought, Ign (proper abbreviation for Unk) might not do badly to replace de Camp with Kummer. It wouldn't be an improvement but it would be variety. No objects to an author cleaning up, but--frankly--I prefer Hamilton. Everything that's really nice to those two artists, Virgil Finlay and Boris Dolgov. If they drink in more than mild manner, set 'em up at the nearest bar on the house of FANTASITE. Finlay has proven at last, to the satisfaction of 98 per cent of the fans I'll wager, that he is without compare in the cover field, and also he has proven that he still holds the interior championship. But he does have a rival and it's in the personage of Boris Dolgov: if you challenge that statement, compare Finlay's earlier work with that of Dolgov's first efforts. If nowhere else, this issue's STIRRING shows Dolgov in a light that would put Finlay into valiant battle on the same scene. Last issue there seemed to be some objection to delving into personalities, and it's impossible to refrain from using those of other than the authors when there is but one writer. Or perhaps you had figured one out, monstrously clever fellow. *** *** *** *** *** ------------------------------------- THE TALE OF THE HOOTEN -- Continued from page 11. as a warning, permitting them to say: "Ho! Yon being talks somewhat human-like, but he is only mocking our tongue. Listen not to his words for though they may contain indictments, they are shallow rantings. Pay to them no heed, save perhaps a wry smile of pity." Records show that the Hootens never propogated greatly. The specie was out of tune with its environment. ------------------------------------
