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.

One Arabian Night A hint of the barbaric splendor and savage intensity disclosed in the latest First National-Pola Negri importation. IN a wandering troupe of jugglers who come over the sands to the city of Bagdad is a black-haired dancer who cares for nothing but bewitching the hearts of men and arousing jealousy in a devoted fellow performer, a hunchback. Her career is meteoric and ends in tragedy ; its telling reveals a sinister but fascinating background of Oriental pageantry. This story, one of the most dramatic of all time, introduces the fiery Pola Negri to American audiences in a new guise, and brings the effete emotionalism of the East to our screens. The picture, under the title of "One Arabian Night," is heralded as the master work of Ernst Lubitsch, the much-discussed director of "Passion."
