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.

Some Film Stars in Disguise A lesson for amateur detectives in how to recognize certain film favorites — that is, if they don't devise new ways of disguising themselves by the time you have learned about these. Glance at the pictures on this and the next two pages and see if you can recognize the players pictured here. You cannot? Well, that is just what they wanted. The public icill stare at film favorites, so when they go out in public they u;-ually try to look as unlike their screen selves' as possible. Louise Fazenda, for instance, who is clutching a cat in the picture just below, wears simple, chic suits, and thereby succeeds in going about unrecognized. Who would expect a slapstick comedienne to dress like that? And Rosemary Theby, at the right, noted as a wicked siren, just disguises herself by going about in simple, gingham frocks.
