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.

I knew that her husband, the handsome Tom Moore, was making a fabulous salary with the Pathe Company, and she had quite enough money in securities to keep her in luxury all the rest of her days. Art for art's sake had not occurred to me. "I don't feel as if I had ever left the screen in the first place," she replied. "Please don't make me out a runaway.
