Became a slick on American lines after World War II; by the time of its demise it had absorbed such similar magazines as The Passing Show, News Review, The Illustrated (1958) and Everybody's Weekly (1959); it published little fiction until after WW2 when it started to feature Agatha Christie, Nicholas Monsarrat, N.J.
