MAKING THE FLESH CREEP, A class of girls in a Supplementary School under the Glasgow Authority were having read to them "Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare." The tragedies were followed with breathless, absorbed attention, "Hamlet" and "Othello" evidently being considered "thrillers," but the comedies and the fairy phantasy of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" were merely politely tolerated. After the volume was finished, the teacher proposed re-reading the most popular stories, and the pupil who was allowed first choice said emphatically, Read the one where the wife comes in with her hands all over blood Now, is the cinema—the universal scapegoat—to be blamed for this bloodthirsty taste, or is it testimony to Lady Macheth's power, or perhaps just the youthful primitive longing that the Fat Boy had to make yer flesh creep?"
