Six bound issues of *Charm* magazine, a New Jersey women's magazine with a general focus on beauty, style, cooking and hosting, and the finer things of New Jersey society, but with forays into literature, politics, and art. Volume III, Number 3 (April 1925) is especially notable for featuring the first appearance of Mina Loy's "Modern Poetry," considered a minor modernist classic, "often cited and regularly studied" (Sophie Oliver in *The Journal of Modern Periodical Studies*, 2020). The magazine was published by Bamberger's Department Store. Issues are charming and uncommon; *OCLC* locates only seven serial listings, but we note only three that possess Volume III (NYPL, Rutgers, Newark Public Library).

A versatile stage, screen, and television actress Myrna Loy appeared in well over 100 films between 1925 and 1980, as well as numerous television appearances from the 1950s through the 1980s.
