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.

Trixie Friganza frequently "flies high." m Sydney Chaplin contents himself with managing the business end of his aeroplane taxi company — but Cecil De Mille, head of a similar organization, acts as chauffeur for his friends occasionally. Priscilla Dean learned to fly under favorable circumstances — two young army aviators proposed to her during the course of instruction. Oh, you'll hear a lot about the flying stars from now on. Below, Cecil De Mille and Jean MacPherson in flying togs. Thomas H I nee is the flyers' benefactor. ular taxi service for die general public — a dollar a minute while in the air being the modest charge. Thomas Ince, being a publicspirited citizen, has gone a bit further and not only offered a prize of fifty thousand dollars to the first aviator who crosses the Pacific, but furnished the field for contestants to start from. It is at Venice, California, and You know Priscilla Dean, of course; you ought to know Grace Kin^slev, who writes about her — and others — in this magazine.
