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.

George Lewis, above, of the "Collegians," inside scowling out, and too "down" to sing the "Prisoner's Song," as all proper jailbirds do nowadays. Madge Bellamy, above, impersonates Al Jolson in "Mother Knows Best," in a manner pleasing to the admirers of both player and It's none other than Colleen Moore, center, looking coy and trampish in "Synthetic Sin." Mona Ray, above, as she painted her face for Topsy, in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," not to mention the clever coiffure she managed to achieve. Banks Winter, the veteran minstrel, below, center, is flanked by Norman L. Sper, left, and George R. Rogan, authors of "The Minstrel Show," which is expected to popularize blackface on the screen.
