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.

the Womantimes ! Betty Compson can do sleight-of-hand tricks with her appearance, too. She can look like just a charming youngster straight from boarding school, as she does here. Of course, it's .only a matter of how you do your hair and whether you dabble in a make-up box ** not. For this picture sb» didn't bother with any ot the first aids to beauty, and we beliey» t,,a* most of her will vote for D»a; an nature!. Photo by CHtrlotU FttrebUd fkoto by Abbe For here we have quite another Betty — one with just a touch of rouge on her lips and mascara on her eyelashes, with earrings and jet beads ant . sophisticated coiffure, to say nothing of that thing beloved by every girl in the land — low-necked black evening gown with a train! She looks as if she'd had half a dozen more birthdays than she's really credited with, and a past that even in a very full present she could never hope to attain. Those who like her in this sort of atmosp' jre will be glad to learn that it's the sort of thing that surrounds her in her new picture, "Ladies Must Live."
