Key Features in This Issue Include:

  • War Glamour Debunked (main feature)
    A photojournalistic spread revealing the brutal, unfiltered realities of war, contradicting the glamorized portrayals often seen in media and propaganda. This early attempt at visual anti-war messaging underscores the human and environmental toll of armed conflict.

  • Church and State Clash in Yugoslavia (p. 7)
    A compelling report on renewed religious strife between Roman Catholic Croats and Orthodox Serbs. The article covers:

    • The controversial death of Patriarch Varnava, believed by many Serbian Orthodox believers to be a martyr poisoned under papal influence.

    • Tensions over papal recognition of Catholic equality in a predominantly Orthodox nation.

    • Police intervention during a funeral march and the broader implications for religious freedom and unity in post-1918 Yugoslavia.

  • Animal Feature – "It Takes a Good Licking to Keep a Baby Clean"
    A charming and educational look at maternal instinct in the animal world, highlighting a lioness grooming her cub with her tongue. Captured by Dr. Photo, the image serves as a gentle contrast to the heavier themes of the issue.

This issue presents an evocative blend of global political unrest, religious conflict, and human-animal interest stories, reflecting Look Magazine’s broad editorial scope during the late 1930s.
