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.

It wasn't really a room at all, but a pretty little machine fitted up inside just like a regular dressing room. "There!" said Doris, jerking her tight-fitting little outing hat over her curls, and scrutinizing her piquant reflection in the little mirror on the side of her car with wide blue eyes that needn't have been the least mite critical — but were. "Now we'll run along. You see, I change my make-up and clothes and even my thoughts, and do the other side of the picture, while the camera man runs it oft again.
