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.

Mention of Paralta Studios instantly leads us to record the fact that Clara Williams and Director Raymond B. West are now Paraltites. Miss Williams was featured in numerous Ince productions, several of which were supervised by Mr. West, so their joint appearance under the Paralta banner will be more or less in the way of a reunion.
