To the Editor, Jewish Daily Bulletin:
A regular reader of your paper I wish to congratulate you on the tremendous improvement which I noticed in each of your departments. I read everything that you print, the telegraphic news, the fine editorials, the fascinating articles of Mr. Ziff and Mr. Lyons, the illuminating comments of Mr. Smolar, even the Sport news and the Woman’s page which, naturally, my wife prefers. I like on this page especially the interview, though unsigned, readily suggests the dashing pen of Mr. Lyons.
There is, however, one thing in your paper which I do not like at all, which, in fact, I very much dislike: the ramblings of Mr. Lewisohn. His articles are lacking in nearly everything your other contributors possess in so high a degree. They are pretentious, clumsy, confused and therefore, confusing; the “great stylist” has evidently lost his style when he discovered his Judaism. He is fortunately, a minority of one among the galaxy of excellent writers, but he hardly fits in with the lively spirit of your paper.
S. Levey.
