For Men—and Men Only! (June 1937)
Museum Catalog Note This June 1937 issue contains personal essays and reported accounts intended for a male readership. "The Broun Grows Bolder," attributed to Heywood Broun, is a memoir recounting the author's adolescent and collegiate shyness, from his inadequacy at Latin translation and athletics to a failed romantic advance and ultimate social success after meeting a theatrical acquaintance. "I Flew for Spain and Gold" by Bert Acosta describes first-hand aviation service in the Spanish Civil War, discussing combat missions flown for Loyalist forces alongside pilots from Britain, Canada, and America, and offering tactical observations on General Franco's rebel position. Additional contents include pieces on prizefighting, male relationships, and miscellaneous light commentary. The issue features cartoons throughout.
