THE BLAST
These days of great struggles urgently demand a militant labor
voice to aid the workers in their battles.
_The Blast_ will be such a voice. A revolutionary labor weekly,
edited by ALEXANDER BERKMAN.
The time has come to gather together, so to speak, the scattered
forces of discontent and help them find definite expression.
I am planning to have for _The Blast_ regular correspondences
from the various industrial centers of America, Europe and
Australia. I hold that one of the most important things in the
publication of a revolutionary weekly is to keep the rebels
throughout the world in closer touch with each other and informed
of the labor and revolutionary situation in the different
countries. It helps to stimulate the spirit of solidarity and
encourage activity.
The other departments of _The Blast_ will be: a strong
anti-militarism and anti-preparedness column; a page dealing with
the vital, social and economic questions; a “Chain Gang”
department, containing news from Labor’s prisoners of war—on
trial and in prison—stories of prison life, etc.; a column
devoted to the discussion of special labor questions and general
human problems; a Children’s Department, with the view of
ultimately establishing a circle of Ferrer Schools throughout the
country.
First issue of _The Blast_, January 15th, 1916.
The life of the paper and the success of its work will depend
upon _your_ interest and co-operation.

Francisco.

PADRAIC COLUM, the distinguished Irish poet and lecturer, says:
“POETRY is the best magazine, by far, in the English language. We
have nothing in England or Ireland to compare with it.”
William Marion Reedy, Editor of the St. Louis _Mirror_, says:
“POETRY has been responsible for the Renaissance in that art. You
have done a great service to the children of light in this
country.”
CAN YOU AFFORD TO DO WITHOUT SO IMPORTANT A MAGAZINE?
POETRY publishes the best verse now being written in English, and
its prose section contains brief articles on subjects connected
with the art, also reviews of the new verse.
POETRY has introduced more new poets of importance than all the
other American magazines combined, besides publishing the work of
poets already distinguished.
THE ONLY MAGAZINE DEVOTED EXCLUSIVELY TO THIS ART.

paying interest on your huge debt to the great poets of the past.

You should know that in the February number of “THE DRAMA” there
will be published for the first time in English a play by
Artzibashef. It is a war drama which has stimulated thinking
people in Russia to think some more. A penetrating study of
Eugene Walter as the leader of dramatic realism in America and a
scintillating essay on the folly of theatrical advertising are
two of other articles which combine to make the February issue
invaluable to people who are interested not only in drama but in
life.
We should like to announce that we have on sale back numbers of
“The Drama” with the following plays in them: Galdos’ _Electra_,
Bjornson’s _Leonarda_, Becque’s _The Crown_, Hebbel’s _Herod and
Marriamne_, Schnitzler’s _Light-O’-Love_, Heijerman’s _The Good
Hope_, Freytag’s _The Journalists_, Giacosa’s _The Stronger_,
Donnay’s _The Other Danger_, Gillette’s _Electricity_, Andreyev’s
_The Pretty Sabine Women_, Goldoni’s _The Squabbles of Chioggia_,
Capus’ _The Adventurer_, and Augier’s _The Marriage of Olympe_.
These plays can be obtained by the sending of seventy-five cents
to the office of The Drama Quarterly, 736 Marquette Bldg.,
Chicago.
In entering upon its third year, THE MISCELLANY feels that it has

YOU ASK WHY THIS
BEAUTIFUL, LARGE SIZE
TALKING MACHINE
SELLS FOR ONLY
$10
Size 15¾ inches at base: 8½ high. Ask for oak or mahogany finish.
Nickel plated, reversible, tonearm and reproducer, playing
Edison, Victor, Columbia and other disc records, 10 and 12
inches. Worm gear motor. Threaded winding shaft. Plays 2 ten-inch
records with one winding—Tone controlling door. Neat and solidly
made.
If you have never been willing to spend $25 for a talking machine
this is your chance.
The MUSIGRAPH is as large, good-looking, right-sounding as
machines selling for $25.
How do we do it? Here’s the answer: Gigantic profits have been
made from $25 machines because of patent right monopoly. Millions
have gone for advertising $25 machines, and these millions came
back from the public. The attempt is to make $25 the standard
price. It’s too much.
The trust price game is broken. Here is a machine which gives
perfect satisfaction (guaranteed) for only $10. It will fill your
home with dancing, good music, fun and happiness. Money back if
it isn’t as represented. MUSIGRAPHS are selling by the thousands.
People who can afford it buy showy autos, but common-sense people
gladly ride Fords—both get over the ground. Same way with talking
machines, only the MUSIGRAPH looks and works like the high-priced
instruments.
WHAT BETTER CHRISTMAS GIFT CAN YOU THINK OF? Musigraphs play any
standard disc record, high-priced or even the little five and ten
cent records. Hurry your order to make sure of Christmas
delivery.
We are advertising these big bargain machines through our
customers—one MUSIGRAPH in use sells a dozen more.
One cash payment is our plan. So to-day, to insure Christmas
delivery, send $10, by P. O. money order, check, draft, express
order or postage stamps. All we ask is that you tell your
neighbors how to get a MUSIGRAPH for only $10.
GUARANTEE.
This machine is as represented, both as to materials and
workmanship, for a period of one year. If the MUSIGRAPH is not as
represented send it back immediately and

SEXUAL
QUESTION

Ignorance Is the Great Curse!
Do you know, for instance, the scientific difference between love
and passion? Human life is full of hideous exhibits of
wretchedness due to ignorance of sexual normality.
Stupid, pernicious prudery long has blinded us to sexual truth.
Science was slow in entering this vital field. In recent years
commercialists eyeing profits have unloaded many unscientific and
dangerous sex books. Now the world’s great scientific minds are
dealing with this subject upon which human happiness often
depends. No longer is the subject tabooed among intelligent
people.
We take pleasure in offering to the American public, the work of
one of the world’s greatest authorities upon the question of
sexual life. He is August Forel, M.D., Ph.D., LL.D., of Zurich,
Switzerland. His book will open your eyes to yourself and explain
many mysteries. You will be better for this knowledge.
Every _professional man and woman_, those dealing with social,
medical, criminal, legal, religious and educational matters will
find this book of immediate value. Nurses, police officials,
heads of public institutions, writers, judges, clergymen and
teachers are urged to get this book at once.
The subject is treated from every point of view. The chapter on
“love and other irradiations of the sexual appetite” is a
profound exposition of sex emotions—Contraceptive means
discussed—Degeneracy exposed—A guide to all in domestic
relations—A great book by a great man.

Transcriber’s Notes
There is obviously some text missing after the first line of the
“program” on page 6, between “... a different ...” and “... are the most
beautiful ...” (in “A Deeper Music”). This had to be left uncorrected.
Advertisements were collected at the end of the text.
The table of contents on the title page was adjusted in order to reflect
correctly the headings in this issue of THE LITTLE REVIEW.
The original spelling was mostly preserved. A few obvious typographical
errors were silently corrected. All other changes are shown here
