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.

31 of the Studios players caught in their informal round about the movie town. Jack Luden airily tips his new straw lid to Thelma Todd. It weighs a mere seventy-five pounds, but what's that to a he-man like Jack, Paramount's new Western hero? The Queen of Sheba herself couldn't have worn anything more glittering than the bejeweled hand ornaments that have become the latest fad in Hollywood. Dorothy Phillips proudly displays one above. Who said that cotton stockings were coming back in? "Not for me," thinks Marceline Day, left, as she compares her drab cotton leg with her beautiful sheer silk one. If you think Richard Dix doesn't answer his fan mail, just look at this truckload of letters that he's sending to the post office to be mailed. Below, Helen Cox, one of those incorrigible Christie Comedy girls, plays newsboy in a pair of white kid shoes, and just to be realistic, shoots a couple of phony-looking dice.
