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.

Advertising Section' EN THE LIGHTS ARE and all within is snug and cosy despite the howling wind and drifting snow without — when sparkling eyes reflect the firelight's glow, and the lilt of melody tingles through our veins — then do we know the sweet thrill of real companionship, when soul meets soul on that blessed plane of mutual understanding to which music opens the way. And of all music, there is none so intimately, humanly appealing as the silvery voices of 00^^ Instruments Really, a GIBSON is more than a mere instrument. It is a pal; an understanding friend; comforting; cheering; always ready to sing our heart thoughts; exquisite in design, finish and tone — truly a GIBSON is a "joy forever." We want to tell you about GIBSON instruments, the most intimately personal of all music instruments. Because they bring self-performed music within the reach of everyone, whether the taste be for classic, popular, or the dashing "jazz" of the day,— GIBSONS are universally known as "ideal home and companion instruments." Easy to play, entirely satisfying in every respect, superb in workmanship, finish and tone. Gibsons have played a part in hundreds of little romances — confidential human histories—about which we shall be glad to tell you. Also the GIBSON Book and free trial proposition sent for the asking. These will help you to become better acquainted with the GIBSON family. Teacher salesmen wanted. Wonderful field; ask for details. Write us!
