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.

91 What Next? There seems to be no limit to the ever-increasing variety in novelties. Some one is always thinking up something new. The little bull pup that forms the head of Carmel Myers' Parisian umbrella, also carries her vanity case for her — in his mouth. Futuristic images of yourself on your scarf is one of the latest fads. Do you recognize Gwen Lee on hers? On chilly days, when the cold winds blow against your silk-stockinged ankles, what could be cosier and warmer — or prettier — than a pair of fur spats, like the one above, which is worn by Estelle Clark, a young Metro-Goldwyn player. Gwen Lee, in the oval, knows how many secrets can be learned from "little birds," so she has a little one perched in the loop of each of her earrings, to whisper things into her ears. Very ornamental are the marble heels, above, that Kathleen Key wears on her slippers, but what a jar to the nerves they must be ! However, the marble came from the Roman emperor Nero's palace — Kathleen brought the pieces back from Rome with her — and the dignity of being mounted on anything so grand and ancient as that makes up for any damage to the nerves. Jason Robards, at the left, has discovered the safe and sane way to smoke a cigarette. There can be little nicotine left in the smoke "after it has passed through the series of involved loops of his Ceylonese holder, and also, you are at a safe distance from the flame when you light the cigarette.
