Description:
Began publishing in 1915; mid-level fan magazine on par with Movie Classic and Screenland. Cost a twenty five cents an issue up until pricing pressure from New Movie (c. 1932) incited an across-the-board price decrease to 10 cents. Merged with Charm in 1941, which would later become Glamour magazine (1959). -- Anne Helen Petersen, 2013.

87 I he lender Years ladies of the studios gladly hark back to their days in the schoolroom. c Raquel Torres, above, won't admit that her school days included an experience as harrowing as this, but she shows how lightly a dunce's cap sits on her head. Dolores Brinkman, above, reminds you of the little ragamuffin you were 'told not to play with, because he didn't live in the "nice" part of town. Gwen Lee, above, illustrates with becoming gravity a more or less serious moment in every one's school days. Josephine Dunn, below, assumes the complacent expression of the teacher's pet with ease, because she used to be one. Leila Hyams, above, shows that even at an early age she was intent on voice culture, though she had no idea of making use of it except in vaudeville, with her parents. Dorothy Sebastian, above, was always handy with chalk, which explains why ?he took to movie make-up with little practice when she grew up.
