Family Circle Magazine 6 Issues 1937
New York, Evans Publishing, 1937. Soft Cover, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall, Very Good/Wraps, Very Good, Issues include: October 22, October 29, November 5, December 10, December 24, and December 31It's interesting to see the evolution of this supermarket favorite. Today it's aimed squarely at women, but in 1937 things were different. First of all, there was less to read, as the magazine was just 24 pages, incuding the back cover. But the really interesting difference was the mix of women's fiction, beauty , fashion and recipes with articles of interest to both men AND women -- notably, a most interesting piece on voo-doo. At times the articles even seem geared just to men -- for example,. a fascinating story about the man whose job it was to get Madison Square Garden ready for any kind of event from hockey, to rodeos, to boxing matches and basketball games.Every issue offers info on the latest movies with commentary. Other stories of note include a piece about a women who created a business out of her belief that America had no telephone manners by offering training to major coporations; an odd one about an old vauedvillian who made a living posing as the world's worst waiter in restaurants around New York and a great piece about actress Margaret Tallichet and why she didn't get the role of Scarlett O'Hara. Magazines are all nice and clean with just a few edgetears. Tightly bound.
