For all of these opinions, with the exception of
that of Dr. Otto P. Schinnerer, we respectfully
refer the Court to Der Kampf Um Den Reigen, the

notoriety through a sensational work. He is an
artist of the first rank.

ber of opinions of educators, literary men and mem¬
bers of the medical professions, which appear in the
court records of the Magistrate’s Court of the City
of New York, Borough of Manhattan, Fourth Dis¬
trict, in connection with the attempted suppression
of: Casanova’s Homecoming“, also written by the
same author, Dr. Arthur Schnitzler. In that case
an opinion was rendered by Judge Gottlieb on Sep¬
tember 25, 1930, dismissing the complaint. In this
opinion the Court referred to the high commenda¬
tion of Dr. Schnitzler’s literary skill and artistry,
submitted, among others, by such distinguished
men as Sinclair Lewis, H. L. Mencken, Heywood
Broun, Theodore Dreiser, Reverend Charles Francis
Potter and John Erskine, In the Court record of
the same case will be found, in addition, the critical
testimony of the following: Professor Allen W.
