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 13 ttarrina GAYEST of the gay cafes was the Salle Mandragora. For there she danced — hair like a golden halo — eyes shot with violet laughter — lithe body throbbing with grace. Like moths about a flame, were men in the glamor of the dancer. "But say, she's as hard as a diamond." For her heart had been torn on a thorn of love. Conway Tearle, and Dorothy Mackaill as you have never seen her before, will dazzle you in this colorful photodrama from one of the World's Best Short Stories of 1925, by the author of "The Green Hat" and I "These Charming People."
