For Men—and Men Only

# FOR MEN—AND MEN ONLY (Vol. 1, No. 1, 1937)

This debut issue of a men's magazine published by Popular Magazines, Inc. contains approximately twenty articles and features. Leonard Hall contributes "Stripping the Gypsy Rose," chronicling the burlesque performer's recent elevation to Broadway prominence in the Ziegfeld Follies, her distinctive slow-paced striptease technique, jewelry heist robbery, and upper-class Manhattan social integration. Other credited authors include Stanley Walker, Lyon Mearson, Bob Considine, Rex Stout ("A Manual of Seduction"), Charles Washburn ("Women Make the Best Prostitutes"), Wesley Peer, Jay Lancer, Bernard Sobel, Guy Hickok, and Don Bestor ("Meet Thirty Million Bucks"). Additional pieces cover Paris nightlife, Hollywood events, and various urban social scenes. Coverage emphasizes entertainment, personal anecdotes, and male-oriented leisure interests. The OCR is substantially garbled in portions, obscuring complete titles and descriptions of several pieces.
