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.

76 Heroes of the Future Who can say who will be the most-discussed male players a year or two from now? Any one of these six rising young men, all comparatively new to the screen now, may quite possibly be among them. FWsbT CtMcam Sinclair Bull Ernest Gillen, above, a Mexican by birth, has a romantic turn. He was with Alice Terry in "Any Woman," and is now playing in "The Auction Block." Douglas Gilmore, at the right, has assumed a variety of roles, appearing as a blase Broadway Johnny in "Sally, Irene, and Mary," and then as a manly chauffeur in "Dance Madness." Pilots br ««U< H«rrlct I The wholesome, boyish charm of William Haines, above, is already attracting the fans, and it would take very little to swing a large following in behind him. Donald Keith, above, represents the fast-living, up-to-date college youth, out for a good time with the flappers. He is again Clara Bow's teammate in "Dancing Mothers." Photo far WOIUa Potior Charles Rogers, above, the star graduate of the Paramount School, is being hailed as a find, but not much can be prophesied about him yet. Antonio d'Algy, at the left, a South American, is ideal for foreign roles, and such he is usually allotted. His latest appearance is as a bohemian Frenchman in "La Boheme." bj R«th Harriet I»ui»o
