They Call Me Carpenter Upton Sinclair

Excerpt from They Call Me Carpenter: A Tale of the Second Coming The beginning of this strange adventure was my going to see a motion picture which had been made in Ger many. It was three years after the end of the war, and you'd have thought that the people of Western City would have got over their war-phobias. But apparently they hadn't; anyway, there was a mob to keep anyone from getting into the theatre, and all the other mobs started from that. Before I tell about it, I must intro duce Dr. Karl Henner, the well-known literary critic tfrom Berlin, who was travelling in this country, and stopped off in Western City at that time. Dr. Henner was the cause of my going to see the picture, and if you will have a moment's patience, you will see how the ideas which he put into my head served to start me on my extraordinary adventure.
