# Analysis This page is **advertising copy, not a cartoon**. It promotes the May 6 issue of Leslie's Weekly magazine. The main feature advertised is an interview where **Sir Arthur Conan Doyle** (creator of Sherlock Holmes) discusses spiritualism and the afterlife with interviewer Montrose J. Moses. Doyle was a famous spiritualist who believed in communicating with the deceased. Other advertised content includes articles on transcontinental automobiling, travel advice about drinking abroad, and a Hollywood story series. The page reflects early 20th-century interests: Doyle's spiritualism was culturally significant then, automobile tourism was novel, and Leslie's positioned itself as an entertaining, informative weekly magazine. The ten-cent newsstand price and five-dollar annual subscription reflect the era's affordability.

Can He Unravel Death’s Mystery? HE creator of Sherlock Holmes believes he can answer the question: After death, what? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, world-famous author and student of spiritism, has established to his own satisfaction that communication with those who have died is possible and he is now telling American audiences why. In an interview with Montrose J. Moses he explains to the readers of Leslie’s Weekly the faith that is in him. Read what he says in the issue of May 6. This issue brings you other notable features. For instance, transcontinental automobiling this summer promises to be more popular than ever before. In a delightfully informative article—‘‘Let’s Motor Across’’—Leon A. Dickinson, manager of the A. A. A. Touring and Transportation Bureau, tells about the various auto routes from coast to coast. In ‘‘Watch Your Stumble,’’ by Gordon Stiles, those who feel they must quench their thirst on going abroad will find some piquant, close-range observations on what to drink and what to leave alone in Europe.
