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.

Romances of the Studios 213 or two of national importance. Handsome Jimmy Cruze saved the life of vivacious Peggy Snow so often, and put the villains on her trail to rout so often, that she thought he would make a great protector throughout life. Jimmy thought the same. Result — matrimony. The other wedding was that of Mignon Anderson and Morris Foster. For months they had played at love with one another. Finally, while motoring from the studio to a location, Morris plucked up courage and told Mignon how well she would look at the other end of the table from him. She thought he would look just as nice vice versa. "Shall we try it?" he murmured. ''Why not?" was the reply. And that night a New Rochelle minister was several dollars richer. No man wants to marry a vampire ; but Harry Edwards, who knocks you off your seat with his funny comedies, knew that the "vamping" of voluptuous Louise Glaum was done for screen purposes only. Although these player did not work at the same studio, they were together every moment they could spare, and Harry soon realized what a sweet little girlie Louise really was. Would she marry him ? She would ! Wedding bells, unconfined joy and bliss. Last summer I was at a tea given by the Gish girls in their palatial home, "Denishawn." Mr. and Mrs. Harry Edwards were "among those present." So were Eugene Pallette, the Triangle villain, and Ann Slater, who is an ingenue for the same company. Poor Eugene had pestered and annoyed little Ann through thousands of feet of film, and never had any chance for love-making. "Why should the curly-headed heroes have a monopoly on your love?" he asked. "Why?" the dainty little girl replied. And the Gish tea turned into a Pallette engagement party. A month or two ago this deliriously happy couple Marie Doro and her husband, Elliot Dexter, on the porch of their Hollywood home.
