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.

95 Two New Leading Men Who are to appear in the next pictures starring Gloria Swanson and Pola Negri. CASTING directors are often charged with being overcautious about giving new players a chance at important parts. But here are two instances in which a young man, untried in a featured role, is soon to appear opposite a star of the first magnitude. Ian Keith, who will play opposite Gloria Swanson in "Her Love Story," has had but one small part in a screen production, that of a young sculptor in "Manhandled." He is, however, well known on the New York stage, having had important parts in Doris Keane's "The Czarina," in a production of "As You Like It," featuring Marjorie Rambeau, and with Lionel Barrymore in "Laugh, Clown, Laugh." "Her Love Story" is a screen adaptation of a story by Mary Roberts Rinehart, laid in a mythical Balkan kingdom. BEN LYON, who is to play opposite Pola Negri, has appeared in several screen productions, but never in so prominent a role. He will take the part of a young lieutenant in the picture called "Compromise," an adaptation of Sudermann's "Song of Songs," the story of which is laid in a provincial town in Germany. Ben Lyon was born and educated in Atlanta, Georgia. He first attracted attention while playing in the stage version of "Mary the Third." He was then cast for a small part in the screen version of "Potash and Perlmutter," and has recently been playing on the coast.
