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.

Illllllll III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! For Sheer Excitement Read This Rollicking Western Story It's the story of "Red" Conners, who eased himself out of a job as a movie cowboy to get employment on a real ranch run by a very real personality. There's not a dull page, not a static moment in TWO-GUN GERTA By C. C. Waddell and Carroll John Daly From the moment that "Red" set foot on the ranch he found it to be a place of mystery. There were wild cries of agony in the night, bullets fired out of the darkness — but you go to your dealer and ask him to give you your own copy of "Two-Gun Gerta." It isn't right to spoil the thrills of such a good yarn by telling too much of it here. Remember that this is a CHELSEA HOUSE publication and that means that it's guaranteed reading of the best sort.
