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.

BLACK CARGO "SLAVE SHIP" is laid in 1845 when slaves were smuggled across the Atlantic from the ivory coast of Africa. Warner Baxter, captain of the "Albatross," went into slave running as a boy simply for the thrill of it. When he marries Elizabeth Allan, he discharges his crew and plans to begin a new life. It is then that Wallace Beery, below, first mate, becomes treacherous. Mickey Rooney, cabin boy, left, also has dreams of one day purchasing his own slave vessel. 26
