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.

Alices in Wonderland TO THE Alice of Lewis Carroll's imagination tke World of Wonderland Was an amazing place. Tkere Was a Wkite Rabbit tkat talked. Tkere Was a Cat tkat disappeared till only its grin Was left. Alice kerself could grow little or grow tall. Tkis real World We moderns live in is no less amazing. Miracles are as tkick as peas in a pod. We kaVe Wool from ostrick featkers, silk made out of Wood, buttons tkat once Were buttermilk. We fly at one kundred miles or more per kour. We cook Witkout fire. We even kaVe mackines to make tke curly kair tkat keaVen didn't give us. In a Word, conjuring tricks so common tkey fail to excite. Reflect for a moment upon koW swiftly tkese modern miracles Were made so easily attainable. How did you first learn of rayon? Of electric refrigeration? Of permanent WaVes? HoW did you first realize tkat tkey migkt be kad for a price commensurate Witk wkat you could pay? Wasn't it tkrougk advertising? Tkis modern miracle play is continuous . . . attendance free. Look tkrougk tke advertising pages of tkis magazine.
