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.

Mae Murray in front of her home. Above is Louise Fazenda's recently-built Tudor dwelling. Below is Pola Negri's stately home. No Masters in But they have mistresses, and their THERE are a small number of lovely homes in Hollywood that know no master's voice. Complete in every other respect, they all lack just that one thing — a man to call king. They are beautifully built, they have rich and luxurious furnishings, they are surrounded by all manner of expensive shrubs and flowers, and they have as 'mistresses some of the most charming of the star movie actresses, but— they have no masters. Many men there are, 'tis true, who daily cross their thresholds, but only as guests. It would be difficult to count, for instance, the number of suitors for Pola Negri's hand who have spent many lazy hours in and about her stately Colonial mansion. Norma Shearer and Marion Davies can both claim their beaux, as can the already once-married Mae Murray, Florence Vidor, and Irene Rich. But they all carefully refrain from committing themselves to any of these wooers — at least, at this writing, they are still uncommitted — and so they can step out onto their balconies, or onto their front steps, or into their gardens, and really call themselves monarchs of all they survey.
