    O. O. Mcintyre Broadway Populist 79

    o. o. mcintyre broadway populist e. I. huddleston Editors and publishers given to exploiting the nostalgia craze might consider resurrecting Odd (pronounced "Ud") Mcintyre, for his appeal would be broad. Many Americans under fifty would laugh at how his kitsch could enjoy the widespread acceptance it did; those over fifty would relish meeting an old acquaintance on a sentimental journey to yesteryear; and students of mass culture, regardless of age, would find clues in his enormous popularity to help explain a persistent naivete in those citizens Mencken characterized as the "booboisie" and who today go as middle America or the "new majority." In the two decades between World Wars Oscar Odd Mcintyre sus­ tained a formula with his 800-word column "New York Day by Day" that made him the highest paid and the "most widely enjoyed newspaper feature writer of his time," reaching (as a conservative estimate) over seven million readers daily and Sunday.1 Additionally, his monthly piece for Cosmopolitan ran from 1922 to his death in 1938, and his "best" columns and essays were gathered into four books in the 1920's and '30's. Warner Brothers even planned a movie based on his life, which his sudden death aborted.2 Amid the turbulence of the Jazz Age human interest reporting seemed to most editors the surest bet for building circulation amid tough competition, and columnists became national institutions. Among the leaders—Arthur Brisbane ("Today"), Franklin P. Adams ("The Conning Tower"), Christopher Morley ("Bowling Green"), Heywood Broun ("It Seems To Me")—Mcintyre occupied a prominent if not wholly deserved place.

  • Front Matter of Each Volume

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89736-5 — The Letters of Ernest Hemingway Ernest Hemingway , Edited by Sandra Spanier , Miriam B. Mandel Frontmatter More Information THE LETTERS OF ERNEST HEMINGWAY, VOLUME 1: 1907–1922 The delight of these letters and the sheer quantity of useful editorial material ... should entice even the most ardent Papa-reviler to delve into the spontaneous words of a creative genius. Publishers Weekly, starred review The existence of some of these documents (predating Hemingways fame) is close to a miracle, and the Letters is without question a spectacular scholarly achievement. Arthur Phillips, New York Times A work of monumental authority, shrewd and sympathetic, which will be indispensable for anyone delving into Hemingways childhood affections, ado- lescent bravura, and the hope, enthusiasm and disgust of his early manhood. Spectator His letters burst off the page with all his swaggering vigour, brio, brilliance, wit and rage, uncensored and unrestrained. Sarah Churchwell, Guardian [Hemingways] letters were never intended for publication, and they are sur- prising ...Behind the hard-living, hard-loving, tough-guy literary persona we find a loyal son pouring his heart out to his family, an infatuated lover, an adoring husband, and a highly committed friend. Robert McCrum, Guardian Hemingway admirers, scholars, and students will find the book essential. The letters fill in abundant biographical and intellectual details, and readers will revel in the young mans exuberant wordplay, private language, and slang. Booklist Magnificently edited ...[this volume] is a work of true literary scholarship ... what makes this first volume more than a mere collection of juvenilia is that here is all the evidence of the writer – and the man – that he was to become.

This thesis titled Johnson Publishing Company’s Tan Confessions and Ebony: Reader Response through the Lens of Social Comparison Theory by MALIKA S. BRYANT has been approved for the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Aimee Edmondson Professor of Journalism Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract BRYANT, MALIKA S., M.A., April 2021, Journalism Johnson Publishing Company’s Tan Confessions and Ebony: Reader Response through the Lens of Social Comparison Theory Director of Thesis: Aimee Edmondson In November 1945, Johnson Publishing Company released its second publication titled Ebony, a magazine modeled after Life magazine, which featured photographic spreads and stories about various topics about the Black community. Five years later, the publishing company released Tan Confessions, an African American confessions magazine inspired by True Confessions, printed from November 1950 through October 1952. The magazine was renamed TAN and rebranded into a homemaker’s magazine. This research analyzes the content of these magazines and 619 letters to the editor— 350 letters from volumes one and two of Ebony and 269 letters from volumes one and two of Tan Confessions. The study looks at the magazine content and letters to the editor through the theoretical lenses of social comparison theory to examine how the editors of Ebony and Tan Confessions published and categorized letters to the editor, which serves as a representation how they presented reader reaction to their audience.

    The Man from Main Street: Selected Essays & Other Writings, 1904-1950

    A storm center of rage and controversy through­ out his life, Sinclair Lewis once was invited by a minister in Virginia to "come down and be lynched." • A man of many paradoxes, Lewis caused a furor by refusing the Pulitzer Prize in 1926 because he did not believe in literary awards, but he accepted the Nobel Prize in 1930. He was the first American to achieve this distinction_ • Both editors of this volume were close friends of Lewis for many years. Harry E. Maule was his edi­ tor, having known him from the time Lewis left Yale. Melville H. Cane was his long-time attorney and is still executor of the Lewis estate. • They have edited this reader "with intelligence and a knowledge of the period-a kind of editing so rare in such volumes as to be a literary achievement in itself."* *Fanny Butcher-Chicago Sunday Tribune THE MAN FROM MAIN STREET was originally published by Random House, Inc.
