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.

32 Come On Outdoors! A pool as round as a full moon — a pool all starred with water lilies, and crystal clear, so that May Allison's pretty face is perfectly reflected in it. Now, wouldn't you like to climb over the ivy-hung wall, as the hero in "Held in Trust" is doing, and explore the haunts of this remote garden spot with May? You could check your troubles on the other side of the wall, you know, and perhaps they'd have vanished by the time you climbed back again. This is the "Lahoma" country. Perhaps you've seen its great, brown hills, whose bare slopes have been swept by the winds of centuries. Marauding Indians rode these hills; later, feuds between the whites made men's deeds fit in with the backgrounds of those scarred hills. Cruel country, perhaps — but that's all in the past ; the past that you see so vividly pictured in "Lahoma." Here's the Pacific coast again, with its little, stunted trees, so bent by the wind that they are like gnarled old dwarfs, reaching out to you as you pass. Wanda Hawley and Harrison Ford found these sun-warmed stones an ideal place in which to picnic and talk over his troubles in "Miss Hobbs," but nobody needs picture-making as an excuse to pack up a luncheon and motor down the road traveled by the monks of old to such a spot as this one.
