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.

56 ^They're Hits The talkies are responsible for making these youngsters doubly popular. Mickey Bennett,, above, who has grown up in the movies, played the longest talking role of any child when he made his hit in "The Dummy." The beauty of Vondell Darr, right, was given amazing emphasis when she spoke in "On Trial" and, later, "The Dummy." John Hanlon, below, makes hardboiled critics weep when he is heard in "The" Shakedown," because of the naturalness and pathos of his speaking voice. David Durand, above, left, has quite a lot to say for himself in "Innocents of Paris." Jack McHugh, above, right, distinguished himself in "Chinatown Nights." Yes, it's Davey Lee, right, who needs no introduction to those who saw "The Singing Fool," but it's nice to see this picture of him, isn't it?
