CONROY--3--

Schneider was very pleased to have us feature his name on the back page. I saw him Friday night (Nov. 30th) at the NEW MASSES ball and he greeted me as if

I were his favorite brother! No. 9, on the whole, is swell! I was afraid that we wouldn't have any name like Le Sueur to help us swing the magazine. Moss, Clemente, Leopold and Tom Butler are OK. But let me have those left-over MSS promptly. You will, of course, send them by first-class mail. Will Wharton asked me to dope out some advertising rates but I must collect some data first. Hereafter, however, we must not allow a little mag with 300 circulation to have an exchange add with ANVIL on a fifty-fifty basis. The add policy in No. 9 was OK. with best wishes and a fighting promise to make ANVIL a success or go to the poorhouse i the attempt!

P.S. - Didn't you get my last letter? P.P.S. - Dennen gets a swell review from Adamic in the current Nation. Poor Newhouse is getting mainly shabby treatment - a bastardly two-paragraph review in today's Herald-Trib under "Popular Novels." Melvin levy's new play "Gold Eagle Guy" appears to be slated to clean up a "Tobacco Road" fortune. "Turnips" Caldwell can buy a Long Island mansion. Only nineteen other plays in the past twenty years have likewise run a solid year on Broadway says today's Herald-Trib. Caldwell really is a skinflint in not giving the Anvil $1,000.00!! I mean it, too. I'll wager he has salted away his first $100,000.00
