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's nice out in the California sunshine, you know, with just enough breeze blowing, and flowers all around OF course, you've heard that old saying about not being able to have everything ever since you were born ; all of us have. So it's interesting to see just what happens when somebody is given a chance to have everything — or shall I say anything? — and find out just what he or she chooses. Bessie Love was offered anything in the world a while ago. She'd finished one picture and didn't have to begin on another right away, and she richly deserved the best that could be had.
