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.

58 Rustles from trie Past Fay Wray poses in the costumes worn by the fashionable girl of half a century ago, and by way of contrast she shows the present-day dress of the athletic girl. Shopping and visiting days were grandmother's delights, although they left her exhausted. Miss Wray, left, wears the typical second-best turnout for that 'beruffled age. J The party frock worn by Miss Wray, right, J was made of yards of material and loads of spangles and rosebuds. The modern costume for the girl who goes a-golfing, displayed, by Miss Wray, above, combines fashion and comfort, and invites a coat of tan. L. Shyly wishing you pleasant dreams, the girl of the past, as above, tripped away to bed in a muslin Mother Hubbard, trimmed with yards of crochet lace. Grandmother's croquet was not to be taken lightly. She donned her leastadorned frock, as Miss Wray, right, demonstrates, for a lively afternoon on the green.
