Midnight, October 7, 1922

1922 · 32 pages

This October 1922 issue of *Midnight*, a Macfadden publication, features primarily confessional and editorial content addressing contemporary urban social issues. The cover story "Why Beautiful Women Commit Suicide" is unexplained in the text. The lead article, "How I Begged a Fortune from You" by Doc Miller (pages 4-5), presents a first-person account by a panhandler detailing various street-level confidence schemes and begging operations in New York City, including historical background on how Miller lost his legs in a railroad accident and subsequently turned to organized panhandling. The issue includes the mystery short story "Out of the Night" by Lyon Mearson, the opening installment of the serial "Daughter of a Murderer" by John W. Grey, and another serial "Sold to the Devil" by John R. Coryell. Essays address marriage, police effectiveness, and "Nature Versus the Moral Laws." The magazine also solicited reader submissions for a "Midnight Thrill" contest with eighteen prizes totaling $500.
