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.

VIVIAN MARTIN came to the World Film Corporation's studio to appear in a single picture, "The Wishing Ring." It was her intention, after the filming of this, to return to the stage, where she had been from the age of six, but she liked her picture-play work and the public liked it, too, so Miss Martin became a full-fledged film star. After appearing in several more World productions, she moved to the Fox Company, where she is at present. Miss Martin's stage career includes many successes, some of the most notable of which are "The Spendthrift," "Officer 666," "Stop Thief," "The Only Son," and "The High Cost of Loving."
