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.

In and Out of the Studios When Maurice Tourneur arrived on location for his new picture, "The Brass Bottle," he found that the actor engaged to play the part of an English lord was missing, so he played the part himself. Study the illustration at the right, and you may be able to catch sight of the great director when you see the picture. J: You probably need no introduction to "The Gumps," Andy and Min, for these characters, the creations of Sidney Smith, the cartoonist, have become among the most popular of any on the comic-strip pages of the newspapers. They're being adapted as screen comedies at Universal City now, with Joe Murphy and Fay Tincher in the leading roles. Here's Priscilla Dean, enjoying a sun bath on the springboard of the swimming pool in the back yard of her Hollywood home.
