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.

Art Is Long and Light Is Fleeting LIGHT is worth more than gold dust in the Western studios, and the cameras click steadily as long as the sun lasts. Perhaps that's the reason little Wanda Hawley got tired out during the filming of "The Gypsy Trail," with Bryant Washburn. At any rate, one day she disappeared entirely, and when Bryant and the director, Walter Edwards, had combed the studio searching for her, they found her fast asleep in a neglected set. Thus Wanda set the fashion for the afternoon siesta in the studio. But when Director Edwards found Bryant taking a little snooze later in the day, he was ready to give up. "The California climate does have a bad effect on Easterners," he complained, script in hand. "Next thing I know, the sun will get the habit of napping."
