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.

Above you see the partners of one of our most successful matrimonial firms — Mae Murray and Bob Leonard. They had a star-and-director acquaintance back in the beginning, which led them straight to the altar. Mae left her husband, directorially speaking, for a while, but now he again holds the megaphone on her productions. It's Jack Mulhall, his four-yearold son, Jack, junior, and his wife, Bunty, who look up at you from below. Jack is one of the leading leading men of the screen. His wife appears in Fox pictures when she wants to act, and retires to her own studio when she feels like painting; she's one of those persons who are clever in two professions. Photo by W. H, Scott Conrad Nagel did a daring thing a year or two ago. Despite the fact that the matinee girls regarded him as one of the best-looking and most popular young leading men on the New York stage, he rushed off to Chicago and married his childhood sweetheart, Ruth Helms. Then she did an equally daring thing. When he made his first picture, "The Firing Line," she made her debut as an actress as its subheroine, and never batted an eyelash when her husband made love to pretty Anna Q. Nilsson. That marriage should last forever!
