It was a singularly happy idea on the part of
Miss (I presume her to be Miss) Evelyn Turner, who was Chief Escort for the British children who crossed the Atlantic in the ' Samaria' as the guests of American families, to start a maga- zine to keep the English children in America in touch with one another. If The Bridge maintains the standard of its first number—that for March—it will soon have a circulation going far beyond the children. For the contents are distinguished. Mr. Walt Disney contributes an original drawing (Mickey Mouse speeding with mail for The Bridge), and Mr. Charles Spencer Chaplin two signed photographs, one of Mr. Charles Spencer Chaplin, and one, that bridges space far more effectively, of a little figure with a black moustache and cane and turned-out feet, looking wistfully at a fruit-stall and search- ing with desperate optimism in an empty pocket. And there is plenty of poetry by the young guests—travel seems to stimulate to song remarkably—printed defiantly adjacent to bits by Lord Tennyson and Messrs. Blake and Wordsworth.
