The Editor Blue Book Magazine - July/August, 1932 A citizen who had grown desperate with the multi- plicity of schemes to end the depression, and who was well wearied with political pettifog- gery and propaganda, recently wrote a letter to a New York newspaper. The desperate citi- zen had a brilliant and simple suggestion which the newspapers liked well enough to pass on to its readers. "Let us," said the writer in ef- fect, "elect Tarzan to the Presi- dency. He at least went places and did things." Unfortunately we cannot, in this difficult world, have many of the things we want. We cannot, for example, have Tarzan for President. We can, however, have him for a job that is indi- vidually more important to us: We can have him for a friend in need, and for a needed refuge and solace from humdrum things, we can go on safari with him in his own primitive and refreshing world. Next month this champion ad- venturer in all the realm of fic- tion comes back to you in a new novel -- "Tarzan and the Leopard Men." With him comes his fa- miliar spirit the little monkey Nkima riding through utmost peril on his shoulder; with him too come Numa the lion and Sabor the lioness and all the rest of that goodly jungle company we have known and loved so well. With him also come many new and in- teresting people, friends and ene- mies alike. You may count upon renewing a true and tried fiction delight when you turn to the next issue of the Blue Book Magazine. Tarzan will have good com- pany: an absorbing mystery novelette by Henry C. Rowland entitled "Murder on the Eastern Shore," as well as many specially attractive stories by such writers as Clarence Herbert New, War- ren H. Miller, Henry La Cossitt, Arthur K. Akers, Edgar Jepson and the like. |
