Modelled on The New Yorker, it carried fiction, poetry, cartoons and political commentary as well as film, book and theatre reviews. It had an adventurous choice of contributors, among whom were Walter Allen, the literary critic, who wrote a football column; Herbert Read, the art historian, who wrote on crime fiction; Elizabeth Bowen, the novelist, on theatre, and Graham Greene on cinema. The latter's review of a Shirley Temple film, suggesting that the child star was a sexual tease, led to an expensive libel suit which forced the magazine to fold after only six months.

A picture magazine of the entertainment industry that featured lots of cheesecake and burlesque photos, and would occasionally in later years feature a single uncredited piece of fiction in some issues.

Low circulation newsstand sleaze magazine that published some fiction, but generally with no author named.
