Notes

  • This issue promotes the availability of a 'special poster ... designed and drawn by Australian artists, printed in three colours by Australian printers for the use of Australian agents'. At the foot of the advertisement, a further paragraph states that the Free-Lance has the 'largest circulation of any satirical illustrated weekly in Australasia, bar the Bulletin'.
  • Contents indexed selectively.

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'.
