This November 1921 issue of Blue Book Magazine features serials and short stories spanning multiple genres. The lead serial is "The Great Prince Shan" by E. Phillips Oppenheim, a work of diplomatic intrigue and adventure. The second serial, "The False Dawn" by Brandon Cathewe, builds toward described climactic episodes. Short stories include Jonathan Brooks's "Cutting Back," a football narrative; Culpeper Zandtt's "Deep Water Men," set in Pacific ports; William Harper Dean's "Pulling Power," featuring the character Potluck Hewitt; and works by Clem Yore, F. Morton Howard, R.M. and Maverick Terrell (a dog story), Paul Annixter, Edwin L. Sabin, and Clarence Herbert New. The novelette "The Rose of Gold" by Charles Stokes Wayne provides drama set in China. The issue also contains a title-submission contest offering $5,100 in prizes for retitling a serialized story from Red Book Magazine.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
