The Popular Magazine, August 20, 1924, features "The Gates of Morning," a four-part South Seas romance by H. de Vere Stacpoole, examining what befalls two children of civilized parentage raised in isolation on a Pacific island. Dick Lestrange (Taori) and Katafa, orphaned and ignorant of their heritage, are cast together on Palm Tree Island, eventually becoming rulers of the atoll nation Karolin. Additional fiction includes Kenneth Latour's complete novel The Hoodoo Kiwi (aviation adventure); B.M. Bower's serial Desert Brew (concluding installment); and short stories by Howard R. Marsh, C.S. Montanye, Theodore Seixas Solomons, William West Winter, W.O. McGeehan, Calvin Johnston, Jack O'Donnell, Frederick Niven, and Robert H. Rohde. Topics span desert, wilderness, racing, and frontier settings. Poetry by Berton Braley included.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
