MIDNIGHT, Volume I, Number 11 (October 1922)
This issue features articles on timely subjects typical of the magazine's sensationalist focus. Bernarr Macfadden contributes an editorial on aging and mortality. "What Kind of a Husband Will the Kaiser Make?" by an Intimate Friend of the Family examines ex-Kaiser Wilhelm II's impending remarriage to Princess Herminie of Reuss, speculating on his suitability as a husband and analyzing family opposition to the union. "Treat 'Em Rough!" by a Flapper offers commentary on modern women's changing behavior and dating customs. Additional pieces include Regina Cannon's "My Midnight Hour with Gilda Gray," Edgar F. Stone's "So Spake Sumner," Thomas Ewing Dabney's "Naughty New Orleans," and crime-related features like John W. Grey's "What I Beheld in the Law's Chamber of Horrors." The issue mixes short fiction with sensational true-life narratives and social commentary, establishing MIDNIGHT's position as a magazine blending scandal, romance, and contemporary cultural debates.
