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.

A Foreign "Variety" The most thrilling film produced in Germany in many a day, not to say year, depends upon a trapeze act in a vaudeville theater for its novelty and excitement. Called "Variety," some of its scenes, shown here, are said to offer a distinct departure from the usual in photography and dramatic development. This film brought fame in such great measure to E. A. Dupont, its director, that Universal imported him to try his hand at some of their big specials. He is now filming "Love Me and the World is Mine." Lya de Putti and Warwick Warde are seen, left, in one of those "tense" moments, while Emil Tannings, right, gives another proof of his ability to change his personality without the use of make-up. He, of course, is the villain who tampers with the trapeze at the moment when Miss de Putti and Mr. Warde are performing.
