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.

A Famous "Mother" and Her Daughters Never before have there been so many female impersonators on the screen as have been seen this season. HOW many of these impersonators can you recognize? If you saw "The Unholy Three," you will know Lon Chaney, in the oval, as the crook disguised as Mrs. O'Grady. But can you name the others? If not, the one in the upper left-hand corner is Sid Chaplin, made up for his role in "Oh, What a Nurse." This story was written for him as a vehicle suitable for following up his sensational hit in "Charley's Aunt." Across the page from him is Julian Eltinge, the most famous of all stage or screen female impersonators, as he appeared in the Christie comedy, "Madam, Behave!" Below, at the left, is Reginald Denny in "What Happened to Jones," an old stage farce almost as well known as "Charley's Aunt." And at the right you see Charles Chase, of the Hal Roach comedies, in "A Perfect Lady."
