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.

But not to stay in all the time, as any woman can tell any man. Make up a party over the wire and take the Good-time trail that's blazed with Paramount. You can't go wrong, because the thousands of theatres that really have Paramount Pictures say so in their advertising. (paramount PQeff em yes!
