NOTES ON THE BIRTH OF THE LARK

Boston Herald.—“The pictures and rhymes in The Larkrank with the most remarkable things done for children since thedays of Mother Goose.”

Boston Budget.—“The Lark is a reaction against thedecadent spirit. It is blithe, happy, full of the joy of life andthe Greek within us—a herald of the dawn of the new century.”

Boston Commonwealth.—“Everything in The Lark isclever—some, we may be permitted to add, cleverer than the rest.”

New York Critic.—“The faddists have produced some extraordinarythings in the way of literature, but nothing more freakish has madeits appearance in the last half-century than The Lark.”

New York Tribune.—“It is perhaps one-fourth a monthly periodicaland three-fourths an escapade. The Lark ought really to be called‘The Goose.’”

New York Herald.—“The current number of The Lark is,if possible, more curious, more quaint, more preposterously humorous,and more original than its predecessors. It is entirely unlike anyother publication.”

Richmond Times.—“We do not understand upon what the editor ofThe Lark bases anticipation of interest and consequent demand.”

Philadelphia Times.—“The young men who publish The Larkhave ideas of their own. The Lark is smart and funny in a wayquite its own, and it is also capable of serious flights and of musicalnotes clear enough to be heard across the continent.”

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.—“The worst thing about it beingthat it is all too brief.”

Jersey City Chronicle.—“Every line in it is well worth perusal.”

St. Paul Globe.—“The Lark partakes of the prevalent temperof life on the Pacific Coast, where the don’t-care mood of the West takesan especially sunny and cheerful turn, and life looks a bigger joke thanelsewhere in the Union.”

St. Louis Mirror.—“The Lark continues to be odd andridiculous. Its humor is quite unlike any other humor ever seen in thiscountry. There are good men with good pens working on The Lark.”

Kansas City Star.—“The Lark seems to have attained adistinction hitherto considered impossible in the unconventional. Itseems really original. It succeeds in holding in captivity theunexpected.”

Los Angeles: The Land of Sunshine.—“It is unlike anything nearerto hand than ‘Alice in Wonderland.’”
