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.

What did you think of the toast, folks?" she demanded, as she drew her wraps about her. They did not answer. Mr. Vertrees shook his head mournfully, and his tired-looking wife regarded the ceiling as if she saw written there a dire destiny for her daughter.
