***ABOUT THE COVERS CONTAINED IN THIS CALENDAR: "Liberty originally made its debut on May 4, 1924...in 1926, the editors of the magazine decided to...add continuing interest to their covers, they decided to have the weekly covers tell a story. The central figures of the story were a typical pretty young girl of the time, Lily Morse, and a young man, Sanford Jenkins, who, at the beginning of the series, was her beau. The series, called ‘For the Love of Lil,’ even had a few paragraphs in each issue which described the activities pictured on the cover. The covers on this calendar show a few of the events from the lives of Sandy and Lil during the second year of their lives on the cover of Liberty. It was a year which began with courtship and which was highlighted by their wedding, with all its attendant hustle and bustle. As the year finished, there were some scenes depicting their wedded bliss and even some of the tense moments as they adjusted to married life."***
***ABOUT THE YEAR ‘1927 - THE HEIGHT OF THE TWENTIES’: "If the twenties ever ‘roared,’ they were at their roaring best in 1927. It was a fashionable time of bobbed hair and short skirts, which were being viewed with alarm by some and with interest by others. The contemporary girls’ morals were in question. Smoking was a matter of concern, not for health reasons but because it was interpreted by some as the act of a ‘fast’ girl. The same attitude prevailed about drinking. Of course, drinking was a topic of discussion for everyone as prohibition was staggering through the eighth year and still not working. The costs of enforcing this unenforceable law and the impetus it had given to the underworld were matters of genuine concern. In many ways, 1927 was a year of accomplishment. In May, a genuine overnight hero by the name of Charles Lindbergh completed the first solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. The movies were gaining a new dimension with ‘The Jazz Singer,’ the first part-talking movie, starring Al Jolson, being demonstrated in October. Also in the movies, a big topic of discussion was Charlie Chaplin’s divorce and its sizeable settlement. Although there were areas of concern such as censorship of books and stage plays and the growing influence of Benito Mussolini in Italy, generally speaking 1927 was the height of good times."***
