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.

Somebody hooked Matt Moore's box of external decorations and he let out a yell that rocked the studio. But it didn't do any good. The kit did not recognize its master's voice, and the one who hooked it kept going. So Matt got a big bandanna handkerchief and has used it till it's worn to a frazzle. He won't even change that !
