Cover, and wartime memorials. Literary content includes essays on acting by Brander Matthews and historical reflections by Richard Le Gallienne. Four serials run across the volume: "Billy Kane—White and Unmarried" by John D. Swain, "The Brains of the Family" by E.J. Rath, "Country Love" by Hulbert Footner, and "The Roof Tree" by Charles Neville Buck.
