Redbook Magazine 1919 - Seven Beautiful Women

This is a fabulous find! Redbook Magazine from June 1919. There is lots to share but we are going to start with the "Art Section" and the seven "Beautiful Women". Actually we get to see an eighth because the cover gal is surely beautiful, but she isn't named. The artist is Haskell Coffin. See more of his work here.

    I love the 'old style, non smiling' poses. Prehaps I should use that as a tip, I always look so dorky trying to smile for the camera.

    whata great issue, I met Ada Mae weeks, many years ago in New York City. I was in a coffee shop across from Bloomingdales having breakfast with a friend; when I was approached by a much older woman with a head full of blond hair, She asked me about my own hair, if it was a wig,!!! and then proceeded to tell me that she was indeed Ada Mae Weeks, former of the Zigfeild follies, Her sister Marion and she were performers at Amsterdam Theater and tavelled around Europe, What a great talk, a few years later , I read her obit.
