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.

62 Caught by the Camera Look at Eddie Lowe and burst into tears ! That pained expression is all because of the army hair cut that he had to have for "What Price Glory." But Director Raoul Walsh stood firmly by and saw to it that he didn't duck until the Marine barber who did the job had clipped the last hair. Perhaps your letter is in that stack on the table beside Louise Fazenda. This is only part of the fan mail that she gets every day, and she always reads every bit of it. The joke was on Bebe Daniels when she stepped off the train in Los Angeles, back from her trip to New York. She had been thrown from a horse and badly injured while in that big city, so her friends made sure to meet her at the train with a nag that was safe and sane. Is that a muscle, or isn't it? Greta Garbo looks hopefully at it as though she thought it might be, but Johanns Anderson, athletic coach at the University of California, shakes his head and has his doubts.
