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.

Caught by the Camera 63 Gloria Swanson, right, thinks she is just the last word in chic in this scene in "Fine Manners," another of those films in which a girl of the people tries to rise in the world, but never quite fits in. Eugene O'Brien is trying to be polite, but Gloria's costume is a little too much for him. Dorothy Dwan, below, finds that her husband. Larry Semon, makes an easy subject to caricature — in fact, all he has to do is look natural. Larry draws expert caricatures himself, and it was he who taught Dorothy how. Mary and Doug are having a very busy time abroad. This picture was snapped while they were exploring the ruins of the Roman Forum.
