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.

79 The dignity of becoming the wife of a marquis is not going to have any effect on Gloria Swanson's screen roles, apparently, for in "The Coast of Folly" she plays a part that promises to be one of her most dashing madcap accomplishments. An Amazing Marquise "The Coast of Folly"' is a story of society intrigue in which the wealthy heroine is almost made the innocent tool of another woman's revenge on her husband. Fashionable and glamorous Palm Beach forms the background of the story. rnoto VJ ntcnee Gloria Swanson is a continual and refreshing surprise. In "The Coast of Folly" she appears for a short time in the little-girl outfit you see above with farcical results. But during most of the picture she plays the strikingly vivacious young girl you see in the other photographs on this page.
