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 33 Here are the Three Musketeers of the United Artists organization. None of the three has appeared in the last few years often enough to suit their loyal followers, and the fact that they will all be seen this fall is an indication that this is to be a Greater Movie Season in reality as well as in name. Another recent announcement that the fans will appreciate is that Charles Ray is to be seen again in a series of pictures in which he will be directed once more by Jerome Storm, and in which he will appear again as the lovable country boy. No pictures were ever more generally popular than the first series made by Ray and Storm, and every picture lover will join us in hoping that the new series will be just 'as successful. The perfect back controversy is likely to start in again with the release of "Pretty Ladies." The Metro-Goldwyn company say that no less a person than Florenz Ziegfeld, that clever connoisseur of modern feminine loveliness, selected these girls for the picture, and that their backs all measure fourteen inches from shoulder to shoulder.
