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.

And he's writhed with rage when he realized that the Goldwyn people pay Johnny Jones, who's seen at the left, for playing Edgar. Do You Know These Youngsters? Of course, you know Wesley Barry, the boy who rescued freckles from the ignominy they've always known and turned them into star dust. They've been a decided asset in his screen career, and in "Dinty," in which he made his stellar debut, as you see him here, they were conspicuously present And you re surer, acquainted with the young num below.
