The things you run across while browsing through the Fictionmags Index. I never heard of the pulp MODERN ADVENTURESS, and I'm not too surprised since Robert Leslie Bellem is the only author in this issue I've heard of . . . but that's not a bad cover, and Bellem is always worth reading, and some of the other stories could be good, you never know . . . so if I ever ran across this issue of MODERN ADVENTURESS, I might just read it.

Not a cheap magazine for the time, either. Was in 8.5 x 11" format? Shall Go Look.
When Doris Baumgardt, aka Leslie Perri, was putting together MOVIE LOVE STORIES for the Albings on a budget of $5 and all the chewing gum she could want within reason, I wonder if this was the kind of magazine she might've preferred to do. (She and Donald Wollheim were working for the Albings and their short-lived line of pulps, while both being in the Futurians fan group in New York...Baumgardt published a few sf stories over the decades, and was married to Frederik Pohl, then rather more durably to Richard Wilson.)
MODERN ADVENTURESS and SCARLET ADVENTURESS have some fun stories in them.
