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.

Where Rogues Were Rampant It was a shipwreck that threw them together on the lonely beach, this strangely assorted couple, one a man of many years, the other a youth. And because they were both exiles they formed a strange partnership that took them together into many adventures. Action treads the heels of action as a band of scoundrels swoop down on their mine and you follow with bated breath the story of Fraser's Folly By W. E. SCHUTT If you want a book that keeps you on the alert to the very end, that piques your imagination, makes you thrill to its racing speed, then ask your dealer to-day for "Fraser's Folly." And at the same time ask to see the full list of the books that bear the famous "CH" brand on their jackets. These are the popular copyrights, published by one of the oldest and bestestablished houses in this country. Every one is a splendid example of the best in modern fiction. And their cost is so low ! Only seventy-five cents. Published by
