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.

68 Sand Sport Idly lolling on the beach is no longer popular — the stars prefer games of skill. Lo Rayne Duval, above, left, and Dorothy Gulliver are not starlets to waste their time looking for a ship on the horizon, for they much prefer to while away the day with sand billiards, which requires oodles of skill, they say. Dorothy Sebastian, above, who has hit the bull's-eye on the screen often enough, tries it at the beach ame called "dart the dart." Likewise Barbara Kent, above, left, and Kathryn Crawford set up the ping-pong net and indulge in a strenuous game, while Merna Kennedy keeps the score. Anita Page, right, takes her parlor golf set to the beach on those rare days when she is not working, and there she plays away like a contented kiddie. 0|
