APRIL 11, AR, POETRY WINNING POPULAR FAVOR Sales in Chicago Cited to Prove Demand for Books of Verse. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 10.—The ancient complaint of publishers that poetry does not sell has been discredited here by some recent remarkable sales rec- ords. Publishers, booksellers and literary crities have watched with amazement as several late volumes of verse have disappeared over the counter with the rapidity of a best selling novel. FEditions have been sold out over- night or even before publication, and in one instance—involving a book con- taining both poetry and prose—presses for a time were unable to carry the load placed upon them. Most of these statistics have been tributes to the popular appeal of news- paper “columns,” in which many of the collected verses appeared. Poem Wins Him Fame. A few years ago the name of J. U. Nicolson was unknown to the literary corld. So.far as his friends and asso- ates knew his interest was wrapped n the storage business. Then one poem signed with the intriguing Pittsburgh_suburb.

That poem, a lyric in the melodious manner of the Swinburnian school, attracted con- siderable attention. Soon others of the same type and bearing the same signature appeared in that and other newspaper columns. Presently it was_announced that “The King of the Black Isles” was J. U. Nicolson and that a volume of his verse was to appear with his pen name as title. The publishers hesl- tatingly printed a modest edition. It did not last long. ‘The volume is now in its tenth printing. Another Record Cited® A few months ago another interest- ing poetic record was made. Some years ago when the late Bert Leston Taylor was plloting the ‘Line,” he printed a number of poems in German- American dialect signed by K. M. S. Except for an interval during the war these poems continued to appear in various columns and finally were gathered in a book, “Die Schonste Len- gevitch.” The author was Kurt M. Stein. A cautlous edition of 500 corles ‘was put out. It {8 now in its eight- eenth thousand. Another more modest record has just been made, but for poetry it is not without interest. Another popu- lar contributor to Chlcago newspaper columns was “The Phantom Lover.” 3,000 Volumes Quickly Sold. Along about St. Valentine's day the author, Henry V. Stevenson, gathered his verse in a book, with “The Phan- tomn Lover” as the title. Three edi- tions of a thousand each were sent to press in a few days. But probably the .most remarkable record of all was established by “The Line Book,” made up of contributions of poetry and prose to the Line O’ Type. Eleven thousand coples of the 1925 edition were printed as a starter and before nightfall of the day they were placed on sale the edition was exhausted. Sales now are well past the 100,000 mark and steadily climb- ing. GERMANS PAY TRIBUTE TO LOUISE OF PRUSSIA By the Associated Press. BERLIN, April 10.—The continuing devotion with which generations of the German people have wershiped Queen Louise, wife of King Friedrich ‘Wilhelm II of Prussia, is reflected in the numerous floral tributes banked high about her monument in the Tier- garten in commemoration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of ber birth. Among the flowers and wreaths were dozens of poetic tributes pains- takingly written in pencil on note paper or cardboard. One verse la- mented “the depths to which your Germany has sunk.” - It urged the youth to rise and throw off the *‘crown of thorns"—the Versailles treaty and the Dawes plan—which has been placed on the country’s once proud head. Queen Louise was regarded as the most beautiful and charming woman of her time. Though history tells but little of her, she endeared herself to her people as few women in German history. It is recalled that during the World ‘War and inflation period thousands of persons, too poor to buy enough to eat, filed past her monument at anniversary time, each deposjting a few wild flowers until the greens were blanketed with blossoms.
