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.

54 Tkat Nameless Something Kay Francis has it in her manner of wearing clothes, which sets her apart from the many and makes her one of the very few. The utter simplicity of Miss Francis* outfit, left, would be trying to a woman less smart, but the actress relieves the dusty brow of her tweed ensemble by wearing a blouse of lemon yellow. She combines navy blue and black, right, with utmost chic, her frock being of navy crape, with a silver-fox scarf and slippers creating the black notes. It is in the lines of her (veiling gown, right, that Kay Francis achieves subtle distinction, for the costume is merely of black crape and tulle — ah, but look at the silhouette ! Her lounging ensemble, above, includes a robe of red, white and black, white blouse and black satin trousers that boast a flare of side plaiting. In no other costume on this page does Miss Francis better demonstrate the effectiveness of simplicity than is seen, left, in her town ensemble. The sleeveless frock of green crape is plaited and tucked, while the jacket is embroidered with a band of white dots. Hat, gloves, bag and shoes are white.
