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.

99 It Was Once 1 ab oo Time was when leading actresses refused to play mothers, because they feared the implication of age; but just see how they feel about it now! & i <r w A Laura La Plante, above, youthful and charming, finds that she can be the mother of Jane La Verne, in "Show Boat," without sacrificing any of her appeal. Showing that there is no prejudice against playing mothers any more, Mary Brian, above, claims Douglas Scott as her son and Richard Arlcn as her hushand in "The Man I Love." -,,. ,■;!■; ■ Esther Ralston, above, gave her finest dramatic portrayal when she played a mother's role, with Wally Albright, Jr., in "The Case of Lena Smith." Surely Estelle Taylor, left, loses nothing by playing the mother of Lupe Vclcz, in "Where East Is East." Gertrude Olmsted, right, is the mother of Davey Lee, in "Sonny Boy." and no doubt will play an ingenue in her next picture just as easily. \
