Description:
Began publishing in 1915; mid-level fan magazine on par with Movie Classic and Screenland. Cost a twenty five cents an issue up until pricing pressure from New Movie (c. 1932) incited an across-the-board price decrease to 10 cents. Merged with Charm in 1941, which would later become Glamour magazine (1959). -- Anne Helen Petersen, 2013.

THE SHADOW! Like a ghost The Shadow goes about. Clad in his dark enveloping cloak, the master of the night becomes part of blackness itself. His steps are light and swift; his motions imperceptible; his presence unknown. A strange, weird creature, this phantom form of darkness, avenger of crime, upholder of justice, the very mention of his name throws fear into the hearts of the toughest criminals, and his eerie, taunting laugh sends them cringing away. Meet this unusual being; see how he works against the hordes of gangdom; watch his careful planning to bring justice to all. Read of his exploits, told exclusively in his own magazine, filled from cover to cover with thrilling, enthralling action and mystery.
