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.

If you don't want to go home for luncheon you can stick an apple in your pocket, and curl up under a tree somewhere to eat it. And I'm inclined to admire Bessie for preferring this to a party in a crowded hotel dining room, where the conversation is threaded on strands of "And, my dear, she hasn't spoken to him since," and similar confidences. Of course, she abandons her overalls occasionally, in favor of a frock, or a gingham dress. She has a lot of favorite occupations that she indulges in whenever a breathing space comes along between pictures. For one thing, she paints mottoes on the bedroom walls of her home — exquisitely done bits of work, the letters all interwoven with flowers. In fact, she does all sorts of interesting things — but not at all what the average girl would choose, I'm afraid, if she could have just anything she wanted. in ii iiiiiim mi i ii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiniii
