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.

Horses prancing and dashing through the ocean of sand, stirring up a veritable fog of dust in their mild careening, as the drivers hung in peril to the reins, and wheels stuck hub-deep in the crunching dirt. . . . The spectacle of this flight and the pursuit which had followed, is one that can hardly be described. Nothing like it has been done in ages of picturemaking. Certainly nothing that Mr. De Mille has accomplished is its parallel. The thrill of excitement was in his Thesipic eyes and in those of his assistants, who watched with bated breath the tortuous procession of the vast assemblage and the subsequent pell-mell racing of the charioteers.
