The Blue Book Magazine, April 1921 (Vol. XXXII, No. 6) This issue features a mix of serials and standalone stories across diverse genres. The lead serial The Crosscut by Courtney Ryley Cooper presents a mystery-romance set in Colorado's mining country, following Robert Fairchild's investigation into his father's mysterious past. The novelette Three Miles at Sea by Frank Condon delivers comic adventure with racing action and romance. Maxwell Smith's Frozen Dope offers Canadian wilderness drama, while George F. Worts contributes The Lou-How-Chow, first of a Siamese fiction series. Other stories include Paul Fitzgerald's horse-racing tale Shooting Star, Frederick Tierney's post-war boxing story The Battle Cry, and Marshall Scull's African adventure Five Lions. The concurrent serial Wind Along the Waste by Gladys E. Johnson concludes a California desert mystery. Additional contributors include H. Bedford-Jones, Robert J. Casey, and Leonard D. Hollister, covering underworld, swamp, stock-exchange, and postal-inspector subjects.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
