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.

90 Hollywood on Horseback The wise movie actress sees to it that she is a good horsewoman, for riding is so often required of her in films. Lois Wilson was given the pinto pony above after she had swum it across a Texas river for a scene in "North of 36." Helene Chadwick, at the right, may frequently be seen cantering along the bridle paths of Hollywood on Black Prince. Mae Busch, below, is another of the colony's equestriennes, and the ease with which she sits a saddle has often been reflected on the screen. Madge Bellamy and her mount. Babe, above, carried off the blue ribbon in the five-gaited class at a Los Angeles horse show not long ago. Madge is a great little jockey, as fans who have seen her in films probably already know. For real style on horseback, see Irene Rich, below. She and her glossy mare, both of them always immaculately groomed, make a pretty picture when out for a trot on a sunny morning.
