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.

Advertising Section 5 Personalities 2 Paramo unt RICARDO The dark and dashing blade who can make love, war or laughter equally well is the role made to order for Ricardo Cortez. As a hotblooded cavalier in Argentine Love he made a terrific hit, and his star shone equally brightly in Children of Jazz, Feet of Clay, The Next Corner, The Bedroom Window, The Swan, and The Spaniard. His newest Paramount Picture will be In The Name of Love. ADOLPHE MENJOU Here is the perfect boulevardier, cane, waxed mustache, ingratiating smile and all, in love with the world and social life, passing marriage as lightly as other people pass a cigarette, and dangerous to feminine hearts everywhere. Most people will remember Menjou in Spanish Dancer, Shadows of Paris, Open All Night, The Fast Set, Forbidden Paradise, The Swan, A Kiss in the Dark. His newest Paramount Picture will be The King on Main Street. WALLACE BEERY To play the part of a King of Spain requires a very exuberant personality, rich, tyrannical and decorative. Wallace Beery appeared as King Philip IV. in The Spanish Dancer, and it was visible in an instant that monarchs don't come any mightier. New season Paramount Pictures in which Wallace Beery's art may be enjoyed are The £ Night Club, In The Name of Love and The Vanishing American. Famous Playejis-LaskyCorp adolph zukorpresident ^paramount Qictur&s Don't he too critical to enjoy life! siirh n rhino as heino fnn wisp snrnrisp nf fhpir lives if rhp\ There is such a thing as being too wise to enjoy yourself, too solemn to know that tonight's the night and Paramount's the show. There are at least ten thousand audiences every night thrilling to Paramount Pictures, but think of the old-fashioned millions who still don't know that Paramount of 1925 is different to the movies of years ago ! At least five million inhabitants of the United States would get the pleasantest "IF IT'S A PARAMOUNT PICTURE surprise of their lives if they saw a Paramount Picture tonight. According to our records these five million have not seen a photoplay since before the war, and they still think the Custard Pie rules the roost. Today the greatest names and fames in literature and drama are allied with Paramount to delight nations. Look at the programs! See a Paramount Picture tonight and catch up with the dance of life! IT'S THE BEST SHOW IN TOWN!"
