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.

Acknowledged as one of the most brilliant actresses, Miss Loy exhibits a gift for writing which sets her apart from them all. This delightful revelation of herself and her mother is irresistible. THIS is a hard job — one of the hardest I've ever had. First, because I make no pretense of being a writer, and second, because it's difficult to say anything about the grandest, swellest — and other like adjectives— person I have ever known, without becoming mawkishly sentimental. And my mother wouldn't like that. And. not liking it, she'd tell me so very quickly, and I wouldn't like that. But I'm going to try. Her name is Delia Williams.
