The Shakespeare Review is a new monthly published at ls.

from 9 Union Street, Stratford-on-Avon, with Mr. A. K. Chesterton as editor. Mr. G. K. Chesterton contributes a gay article on Shakespeare and Shaw. There is a pleasant " contributors' corner " edited by " Mr. Snug " (a good name), and a very healthy atmosphere throughout the magazine. Its purpose is " to herald the fame of the world's master-singer in such a manner that the purveyors of porno- graphic filth will fly before the vanguard of a renaissance

which will redeem the sacrifice of a million brave Englishmen on the fields of FrEince." We believe there is such a renaissance coming, and wish this -little herald of it all success.
