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.

90 Skades of Terror How would you like to be placed in such dire situations as these scenes suggest? Louise Closser Hale and David Newell, above, in "The Hole in the Wall,' are terrified of the nameless kidnapers of Miss Hale's grandchild in the film. Jean Arthur, right, in "The Greene Murder Case," has lots and lots to be afraid of, compared to which the shadow of a knife is nothing, as you know if you saw this stirring film. Do you remember this scene from "The Haunted House," left, in which every one was on edge during the eerie goings on in the ghostly mansion? Carol Lombard, below, has good cause to be nervous of shadowy handcuffs in "High Voltage." Fredric March, left, in "The Studio Murder Mystery," plays the role of an actor who is mysteriously murdered in the course of filming a movie, and as he has a great deal on his conscience, you can't wonder that he's nervous of shadows.
