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.

34 Choose any shape you want ■ — hearts, diamonds, spades, or clubs — long or short — round or square. There are just as many styles in lips now as in hair, hats, clothes, or anything else. If you would look young and irino.cent, make them short and round, like Dorothy Dwan's in the picture above. If you would be pouting and coy, paint them in the form of a heart, as Lilyan Tashman has done, at the right. This is .the most alluring shape of all — irresistible to the sternest of men. New Tricks with Lip Sticks The latest thing is to make your lips mirror your moods. It all simmers down, as it were, to a form of lipreading. You should be able to tell in a minute, from the way a person's lips are made up, just how she feels like being treated that day. In this age of feminine independence, however, the clean-cut, diamond-shaped mouth, as illustrated again at the left, by June Marlowe, seems to be gaining in popularity with the girls. But if you are feeling matter of fact and practical, some such sharp-pointed, cubistic style as is illustrated by Marian Nixon in the pic-' ture above, would be best for the time being. This plainly announces to the world that you are in no mood for sentiment at the moment. Then, as your cares drop from you, and you find yourself beginning once more to feel friendly and warm toward every one, you can soften the sharp edges and corners, to create the effect achieved by Marguerite de la Motte, below.
