Untitled,
single work
column
A brief editorial comment on the friction between Arthur Lynch and Richard Le Gallienne. Lynch apparently thought poorly of Le Gallienne calling the latter a 'sugar-coated prig' and 'erotic as a green-sick nasty miss'. The Free-Lance suggests the acrimony was based on Lynch's reception at Le Gallienne's London club. The contention is that the Rhymer's Club did not 'fall down and worship the truculent Lynch'.
