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.

She Drifted Into a Furious Feud Sophisticated Marion Reade, easy to look on, a child of Broadway, drifting across dangerous Alaskan seas in a disabled launch. And when at length she does come ashore on bleak Kalvik Island, she is thrown into the midst of a battle between outlaws and a brave man who is facing fearful odds. That's the situation with which one of the swiftest-moving novels of the year opens up. Read this thrilling love and adventure story, "South of Fifty-three" By JACK BECHDOLT Here's a novel with the sweep of Alaskan wilds in it, whose colorful scenes shift between the rude hut of a trapper and the flashing of Broadway lights. It's one of the popular copyrights that bears the brand "CH" — the sign of good reading — on its handsome cover. Stop at your dealer's to-day and ask to see this and other "CH" novels published by Chelsea House, one of the oldest and best-established publishing concerns in the country.
