"AS THE WIND LISTETH, SO WANDERETH MY THOUGHT."
by D. B. Thompson.

least, his vigorous advocacy of the NFFF idea, first suggested by the Sachem of Salem, damon "The Demon" knight, in an article called "Unite of Fie" has increased the "Poll-Cat's" stature even more.  And also his own fanzine, FANFARE, in which the demon's article appeared, as well as the Constitution of the NFFF, ranks with the best. Rothman's projected "History of the Future" is especially suited for the tyros. They can combine the pleasure of reading back issues of the magazines, new to them, with the project itself.

We wish to apologize to Don Thompson for asking him to hurry his column to us, and then delaying (though no fault of ours) this issue until some of his material is quite dated.
He has asked us to put in a correction to the part of the column dealing with Don Tuck of Tasmania. It seems that while Tuck can't get any mags direct, he can get them through Wog Hockley on the Australian main land. Both addresses are in the April issue of Le Zombie.
We've dropped the book-review this issue as a test of its popularity; if we receive enough requests we'll return it as soon as is possible. Maybe next issue, maybe the one after that.
FAN-ATIC is proud. We are introducing this issue a department we believe is new to fandom, HELL'S CORNER. The idea is this: we think that every fan has some sore spot or particular thing that he hates, so each issue, we are going to let some one fan take a  half page to tell his own pet hate. We accept no responsibility for anything said in any of the installments yet to come, or in the present one. The only things that we bar are those that the US Postal Regulations forbid going thru the mail. So come on, send in your peeve; half page limit (pica).
Another new column is 4e's Esperanto one. Explanation needless.

A FEW FECKLESS 'FORTY FANTASY FLICKERS
by Bob Tucker.
There are more fantastic fillyums, Horatio Fann, than are read of in your Ackerman-Hollywood flashes. And you may add in the scoops of eagle-beak Racic for that matter and still not attain the sum total. These are pictures which didn't quite reach national recognition for one reason or other -- some of them obvious. But they played in some of the theatres in some of the cities in America last year and still may be playing yet this year. Perhaps you glimpsed a few of them yourself if you happen to have an "art" theatre in town; or a neighborhood colored house, if you care to trust yourselves to the surroundings and the climate.
I take the following list from the yearbook of a theatrical trade magazine; the comments are my own. No, I don't claim to have seen all these pictures with my very own eyes. Frankly I don't believe I could stand it. These were released in 1940:
