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.

MARY FULLER was an experienced actress when the first real photo play ever made was produced in the old Biograph studio. In the company with her at this time were Mary Pickford, Tom Moore, and the rest of the now famous original Griffith cast. Miss Fuller, switching to Edison, then had the distinction of starring in the first big serial in the history of the industry, "What Happened to Mary," and also in the first multiple-reel productions. She was with Universal for several years, and has recently signed with Lasky.
