NO highl…ighting. NO margin notes. The fourth and apparently final issue of this short-lived magazine in book form. Hardcover. It was edited by Jamaican-born Walter Adolphe Roberts (1886-1962), who also contributed to this issue a short editorial, a play (THE QUEEN'S TENT, pp. 62-80), an article (AL SMITH FOR PRESIDENT), and a book review. This issue is filled with short stories, poetry, and essays. Of special interest is Adolphe de Castro's 17-page essay, AMBROSE BIERCE AS HE REALLY WAS, AN INTIMATE ACCOUNT OF HIS LIFE AND DEATH. Adolphe de Castro met Bierce in 1886, became his protà gà , and "wrote" a novella in collaboration with him. The article published here is the basis for the controversial explanation of Bierce's 1913 disappearance into revolution-torn Mexico. (de Castro claimed that Bierce had been shot by soldiers under orders from Pancho Villa). Other contributors to this issue are George Sterling (another Ambrose Bierce protà gà ), David Warren Ryder, Eleanor Ranos, Helene Mullins, Isa Glenn, H. M. Hamilton, S. Bert Cooksley, Lillian White Spencer, Louise Rice, Solita Solano, William Salisbury, Halpin O'Reilly Gilbert, Arthur Robson, Marcia Nardi, Eleanor de Nardi, Cary Ranck, Walter Haviland, Louis C. Fisher, Charles Divine, Robert Napier, Pauline de Silva, Eva Balfour, etc. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good condition/No jacket. 8vo. 191pp.
