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.

24 Dressing Up the Garter Quite necessary, now that it is given such a conspicuous place. Girls devote as much attention now to trimming their garters as to trimming their hats, for instead of carefully hiding them away, in the good old-fashioned manner, they take pains to expose them. Joan Crawford, above, wears her adorned garters with knee-length stockings, designed for the girl who likes them rolled. But whether worn with long hose or short hose, they must be worn below the knee, where they will show. Dolores Costello, below, has a miniature of herself mounted on each of her garters. Kathleen Key, above, who plays Bcn-Hur's sister in the film "Ben-Hur," very loyally and appropriately wears a little chariot on her lone garter. Jane Winton, at the left, is said to have originated the pretty style of tucking your bouquet into your garter, instead of into the corsage. And if you want to make a really chic appearance when you dance, just take the ostrich feathers that used to be on your hat and attach them to your garter, as Sally Long, below, has done.
