This pulp magazine contains entertainment and lifestyle content oriented toward a Broadway and popular culture audience. Featured stories include "Six Under the Big Tops" by Charles Bochert, examining the lives of circus and carnival women—described as operating in their own world with distinctive slang and moral codes separate from Broadway. "Whoopee!" by Jack Woodford, "Ice Trap" by Clinton Harcourt, "Esther's Escapades," and "Last of the Bright Lights" by Alla Bard follow. Additional pieces include "Babe of Broadway," "Must a Chorine Have a Past?" by Mary Merry, and "On the Up-and-Up" by Kelly Abbott, along with a theatrical review section "Broadway's Best Bets." The magazine also contains mail-order advertisements for novelty items, jewelry, firearms simulators, and sales representative opportunities with textile companies.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
