Love Revels Magazine, December 1933

About this issue

Love Revels (December 1933) is a romantic fiction magazine featuring short stories in the "modern manner." The featured story "A Date for Tonight" by Chapin Pratt follows Martin Cavendish, a workaholic businessman recovering from illness who travels to Florida and encounters the glamorous, carefree world of a beachside resort. The narrative details his self-conscious observations of sunbathers and swimmers, his attraction to an amber-skinned girl named Patty, and his uncertain venture into the resort's social scene—the races at Hialeah and evening dancing—where he feels himself an outsider. Additional contents include "Fangs" by Wilfred C. Moore, "Be Mousy" by M.J. Andrade, "Going Up" by I.C. Pitzer, and several other stories emphasizing romantic and social themes. The magazine explicitly positions itself as offering "gay, breezy, lively" stories free from dullness.
