Dewey, the mechanical man.” She was starring in a revival of Noel Coward's Private Lives with Donald Cook and Barbara Baxley.

Item in the New York Tribune, October 22, 1920.

The Little Review, published out of 27 West 8 Street, was in hot water for having printed a portion of Chapter XIII of Ulysses, by James Joyce. On October 21, 1920, Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap, editor/publishers of The Little Review, appeared in court, having been charged with distributing obscenity. Their accuser was John S.. Sumner of the Society for the Suppression of Vice . . .

Founded by Margaret Anderson in March 1914, The Little Review became, over the course of its 15-year existence, one of the chief periodicals in the English-speaking world for publishing experimental writing and publicizing international art … Anderson began editing The Little Review in Chicago, then moved the paper to New York in 1917 (after a short stint in San Francisco the year before), and later moved it overseas to Paris after 1922. Along the way, she was joined, in 1916, by Jane Heap, as co-editor, and then—heralding a new phase of the magazine—by Ezra Pound, as foreign editor, in 1917.
