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.

Nymphs Appear H| line Bell over her lilac bushes, and Billie Burke pflpMBj has a favorite nest high in a big tree on Mbt^:^ the bank of the Hudson. Dorothy Dalton's most beloved tree is in the great Northwest, overlooking Puget Sound; she insists that on clear days she can see Alaska! And Wanda Hawley's is on a California hillside, where golden poppies sweep down across the field to the Pacific. Constance Talmadge, highly practical, forswears all trees for the lowly rhubarb, and Alice Terry loves a certain New England orchard, fragrant with cherry blossoms. So, if you love trees and gardens, perhaps you'll meet a wood nymph in your pet tree some May evening. Wait till the moon is particularly beautiful, and then watch for the fairy godmother of your garden. M
