Page Twenty-Six -- S - F Collector -- [[line]] do have formula, as do most newsstand magazines. A swell, interested article? Thanks to Milt Asquith for mailing me a copy, or I may have missed it. Speaking of Asquith, yesterday, I received a sheet from him -- Scientification Satire, Vol. 100; No 53 (Carbon Copied) -- with a side-splitting poem. I may get it for SAS, it is that good. In the latest issue of AMAZING the big news, of course, was the announcement that AMAZING will be monthly. What is of particular interest to me is the return of Ed Earl Repp. Remember his "Radium Pool?" As fine a sscience fiction story as was ever printed. Repp is now employed at a major studio in Hollywood as a scenarist. Not long ago, I saw a short scripted by him about the mounted police. The story was fair, but what spoiled it was the fact that the principals seemed to pick the dizziest times to sing. Speaking about movies, here is some good news. The Hal Roach studio has for nearly a year been working on the sound effects for a new epic picture about prehistoric man, to be titled "When Life Began." The story is written by none other than Ales Hrdlicka, world-famous curator of anthropology at the Smithsonian Institute. The picture will depict man's early struggle for existence, and there will be all sorts of strange animals and monsters stalking about. 'Tis said that Roach will seek prominent figures from the the athletic world. Real he-men, no sissies. It seems to me as though as we hall never see reprints of the famous Munsey classics of years ago. Whenever anyone asks for reprints of famous stories of the past in any of the readers' pages, the editor always harps on about Wells and Verne reprints being unpopular, and anyway they can be had very easily. Several years ago, all we got from AMAZING was Wells and Verne. That was all right, but why pick at that? Wells appeared in
