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.

29 When productions call for a scenic bit not available within easy distance of the production center, it's up to the technical department to reproduce it in miniature. This one is for Charles Ray's "'The Courtship of Miles Standish." On the screen it will appear as a huge waterfall. In and Out of the Studios Showing some of the stars at work, and some at play, There's one satisfaction in writing to a player who doesn't get as much fan mail as Valentino does, for there's a better chance that he will be able to read the letters, and to answer some of them, as George Hackathorne seems to be doing here. Now, don't all of you fans write to him at once! Photo by J. P. Diamond
