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.

88 A Star Who Has Twenty-five Servants Harry Carey is the player who has this unusual household, and all his servants are Indians, At the left, Harry Carey's Indian laundress Harry Carey with his Indian chauffeur. OTHER stars may boast English valets and French chefs, but Harry Carey prefers the patient, loyal services of Indians. On his ranch of twelve hundred and fifty acres, located thirty miles from Hollywood, he has a reservation housing twenty-five Navajos, who maintain the ranch, look after Carey's string of horses, and do the housework. There is a trading post at which they sell their handicraft, beadwork, and jewelry of beaten silver. A stalwart redskin chaufs the car, and a bronze-faced squaw is nurse for the kiddies. As the Navajos converse mostly by sign language, few words are spoken. Silently, stolidly they serve the Careys, grateful for the good home given them. The peace of one household, at least, is never ruffled by the modern servant problem. A view of Harry Carey's ranch, which his Indians take care of.
