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.

"What son of Satan lives here?" was his imperious opening. "We need a guide at once. Our forester has lost himself, and we desire the shortest way back to the castle. Look sharp, there, now !" Both Ivan Lazar and his wife were speechless before this royal outburst, but Yania, her heart beating tumultuously, volunteered to reply. "Barin," said she, "iVndrey Sobi will be happy to show you the way." She pushed her lover gently forward, and he bowed, then straightened like a soldier at attention. At that moment, Yania was supremely proud of him. "Yours, hand and foot," said Audrey to the grand duke. "Excellent!" vouchsafed Yalonort, but his eyes were devouring Yania's face.
