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.

Advertising Section 9 Tom Converse Gambled with a Stranger—and Lost His money was all gone. He was broke, but he would not wager his gun on a turn of the cards. Then the stranger proposed another bet — that Tom should ride to the top of a near-by mountain and light a bonfire, in the event that the cards should go against him on the next deal. Tom accepted the wager — and lost again. He took the ride and, by so doing, he assumed to himself the personality of the notorious outlaw known as "The Shadow," for the lighting of the beacon was the signal of The Shadow's return. Posses of riders swarmed to the mountain, and Tom was in dire peril. The Shadow's crimes were dastardly and called for swift and certain justice. Every one who enjoys a tale of splendid courage and exciting adventure, of manhood tested in the crucible of danger, should read The Shadow ol Silver Tip By George Owen Baxter Of the many writers who have woven the romance of the West into their stories, none enjoys a wider popularity than George Owen Baxterl There is a magic and a wizardry to his story-telling which is the essence of true art. His narratives are simple yet absorbingly dramatic, absorbingly real. They make the reader live over again the vivid life of the primitive West.
