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.

33 Melodious Sxtfains Now it's with music and song that screen lovers win — or lose — their "proud fairs." H Joe E. Brown, above, strums his guitar and sing* to Marion Byron, in "Song of the West," but it must be a sad ballad. Nick Stuart, center, warbling trustingly under Sue Carol's window in "Chasing Through Europe," is about to get a flower, pottery and all. In "The Delightful Rogue" Rita Le Roy, below, is the inspiration for soothing strains by Rot La Rocquc. Dorothy Sebastian, above, has no taste for Jack Benny's performance on a Chinese fiddle. Bessie Love, below, also has unromantic ears, and John Mack Brown's . music is just wast 4 ing itself.
