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.

The King family is represented in the directing fic!d by Henry, right center, famous for his work in "Tol'ble David," "The White Sister," and "She Goes to . War." "Broadway Melody" drew the attention of the fans to Charles King, above, although he had long been known on the musicalcomedy stage. Carlotta King, right, who made her screen debut in ' ' T h e Desert Song," impressed producer and fan alike, so she was given a nice contract.
