Hayes Beasley was a Hollywood screen writer and astrologer who went on, in 1943, to write for the Ruth Drown's Philosopher's Stone and to edit and publish Principle. This journal was a who's who of the minor figures in the Los Angeles/Hollywood world of the 1920s, mainly those who would write in exchange for advertisements for their works and services, with contributions by Julia Seton. Will Levington Comfort (editor of the Glass Hive), Kevah Deo Griffis, John H. Dequer, Richard and Isabella Ingalese, O.W. Le Mar, Llewellyn George (editor of the Astrological Bulletina), Cora Belle Miller, Axel Emil Gibson, Gaspar Bela Daruvary, Artie Mae Blackburn, Marc Edmund Jones, Diana Belais, Zurea Zuray, et al. The journal is most valuable for its advertisements for the peripheral occult figures and establishments of the time in Los Angeles: First National University, Newark, New Jersey ("Be a Drugless Physician"); Emery Myers "Astrologer-Egyptologist"; The Illuminati School, Santa Monica; AMORC; Svend Raasted ("Complete Instructions in Kabbalastic [sic] Understanding"); Rev. Beatrissia Marye, Beverly Hills ("Are You Ill?"); Casa Solana College of Occult Science ("Refits Life's 'Misfits' in its Department of Individual Service"), and many more.
