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.

Baby is old enough now to leave at home with her grandma for the few hours I am gone, and I have the double satisfaction of being at home most of the time and playing in the studio as well. "What's the baby's name?" I inquired. "Now, don't ask me whether I want her to go in pictures when she grows up. Her name is Alice, but please don't ask any foolish questions like all those other writers. She isn't a year old yet. How can I tell whether she's going to be an actress?"
