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.

32 In and Out of the Studios Here is another picture of Novarro, taken in his everyday attire, in the studio of Charles Albin, a New York photographer. The bust on the table is one of Lillian Gish, made by an Italian sculptor, and owned by Mr. Albin. In the background is one of Albin's photographic studies of John Barrymore and Mary Astor, in a "Paola and Francesca" pose. Another of Mr. Albin's studies of Barrymore and Miss Astor is reproduced on page fifteen of this magazine. Did you see this interesting picture in the news reel a few weeks ago? It is one of the most unusual ones ever made by International, and shows how, in war time, a dirigible may be protected from attack by airplanes by a smoke screen. The dirigible is the Los Angeles, and the screen was laid by a United States Martin bomber. The picture was photographed by a camera man in another Martin plane. It was made at Washington, D. C, on June third. AR5 GRATIA ARTIS "GOLDWYN MAYER One of the biggest events in Los Angeles this year was the pageant which took place during the Shriners convention in June. Of the scores of floats entered in the long parade, the prize was won by this one, entered by Metro Goldwyn Mayer. Sally O'Neil is shown here, putting the finishing touches on the familiar Goldwyn lion.
