And This Is How It Goes For A Collector

Having fallen in love with Queen Marie, I was thrilled to discover in the February 22, 1941 issue of Liberty magazine "Madame Pompadour Of Rumania: The Story of Magda Lupescu and King Carol" by Frederick L. Collins.

Billed as a "new drama in the vivid chronicle of a red-haired woman who ruled a monarch", the story reads like fiction -- an exploitative fictionalized biography with a huge emphasis on lurid depictions of Magda, "the beautiful half-Jewess."







I don't own this magazine; Pop Tart does (she let me read it and sent me these scans) and as I still owe her some magic beans for the Pink Pussycat goodies I can't dare dream of it (yet). However, as this is part four of the serialized story, I'd have at least five more issues to get anyway. (The soap-opera styled teaser at the end promises the next chapter, not the last chapter.) Saved eBay search, here I come.
