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.

Excitement for Hollywood, so the stars have taken cap, to pass away the time while the cus is in winter quarters. What next, say? Heaven be praised for the originality shown by Margaret Lee, above, with her tortoise, and Lo Rayne DuVal with her alligator. This will be a race worth watching — if it ever starts — for the contestants are champing at the bit, so to speak, and the girls are on the qui vive. Buster Keaton, below, is said to have so trained his "racer" that it will dash off on a ten-minute sprint whenever Buster drops the flag — and not into the soup kettle, either. Fay Wray, above, has also read her .SIsop and wishes to try out the relative speed of the hare and the tortoise, only she doesn't notice that the latter is proving his scorn of the proceedings in the way peculiar to turtles. \ w
