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.

49 T he CANDID CAMERA 10 Vera Zorina shows the hard-working side of a ballerina's life. She debuts in "The Goldwyn Follies." Katherine DeMille and Anthony Quinn, both hot types on the screen, have a cool Episcopal wedding with orchids. Delmer Daves, scenario writer, is Kay Francis's enduring boy friend — some say her fourth husband. Franchot Tone studies the script for those troublesome lines that snag every actor. Study of an actor eating a hot dog: Cesar Romero has an audience of Marian Marsh and Dick Arlen. Mrs. Fred Astaire loathes publicity and she loathes being photographed, but the camera spares her not. Mrs. Jack Warner tops all the towering hats as she sails for Europe with her husband. Marcia Ralston is the wife of Phil Harris, the orchestra leader, when she isn't acting. Carole Lombard takes time out from her art to pitch a little ball on the set. The candid camera was just as busy when Joan Crawford was a chorine in "Innocent Eyes" as it is to-day when she is a big star.
