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.

John Barrymore, right, finds himself in the besl of c o m p a n y — numerous photographs of himself in memorable roles, as well as the armor hewore as Richard III on the stage. " nr?-^ -?e i George Lewis, left, lovingly hangs on his wall a Japanese poster of himself in the "Collegian" series, this treasure being flanked by a photograph of himself already there. Alice Day, below, at home with her photographs and a few magazines, the former reminding her of friends tried and true, and the latter to be scanned hopefully for reminders of herself. Ailecn Pringle, left, contemplates the sunlight from the window of her writing room. its walls decorated with old Chinese prints and a few not old American gentlemen.
