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.

89 Make You Happy? as though all ten of these actors had won. Now we know why they call it "Merrie Old England." Take one look at her native son, George K. Arthur, above, nothing long-faced about him, is there? Norman Kerry, below, doesn't look exactly down in the mouth, either — that surely must have been a good one ! George O'Brien, above, has one of the most winning smiles on the screen — ask the fans. And Douglas MacLean's grin, left, is famous. For laughing out loud, Syd Chaplin can't be beat, only it's usually the audience that is doing the laughing.
