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.

Morning, Noon Fashion's Claire Windsor and Ruth Clifford of their type will wear Directed by IllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllW COR evening Claire Windsor likes filmy combinations of delicate and colorful materials. She is particularly fond of orange and canary shades and with her golden hair, blue eyes and exquisite complexion she can well afford to indulge in gowns of these tones. Her dinner-dance dress shown in the picture below is of violet and gold changeable taffeta combined with lace and embroidery. The lines are simple as in all her gowns, and the materials rich and so'ft. PLAIRE WINDSOR was recently proclaimed the Lillian Russell of the screen because of her beauty and good taste and when one looks at these gowns of hers one doesn't wonder. In the picture above she is shown wearing a breakfast robe of hand-embroidered net combined with filet lace. The only suggestion of color is found in the baby-blue sash and French flowers. The picture in the center shows her dressed for an informal luncheon and matinee. This chic three-piece costume, designed by Frances, is of black royal satin. The jacquette blouse is of pleated white crape, and the overjacket is trimmed with bandsof ermine. Photo by Apeda
