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.

26 The Movie Nurse Sets Her Cap or One Way to the Heart of a Man. The number of nurses, Red Cross and otherwise, who have carried off the heroes in films is something appalling. Alice Day set her cap for Danny O'Shea in a Sennett comedy. Marguerite de la Motte used a nurse's tactics to win John Bowers in "The People vs. Nancy Preston." Georgia Hale donned the white cap in "The Rainmaker." Virginia Valli was a /<ed Cross nurse in "Watch Your Wife." Anita Stewart, above, simultaneously nursed and made eyes at her brother, George Stewart, in "The Boomerang." Barbara Bedford, left, soothingly crept into the heart of the convalescent Conway Tearle in "The Sporting Lover." And Jetta Goudal, right, meant more than just a nurse to Robert Ames in "Three Faces East."
