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.

W another picture?" a question we've HY don't we see Mae Marsh i n movies any more — isn't she ever going make That's been asked hundreds of times in the last year and a half — and here's the answer: young Mary Marsh Armes, who was born last June. Certainly she's a perfectly good reason for keeping most any devoted mother from the studios. However, Mother Mae is still interested in the movies — tremendously, but from a new angle, for it's her greatest joy to place the family projection machine on the dining-room IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH If you have, these pictures will explain her absence. By Edna Foley table, down at her Long Island home, and throw pictures of her chubby daughter on the wall. But the public won't let its favorites enjoy the luxury of just staying home with a winsome new daughter for very long, and so Mae Marsh is returning to the screen; she's working hard out in California now, and we'll soon have the little sister of "The Birth of a Nation" with us again.
