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.

'Jo Love Without Frills The stars seem to be going native and deserting their former brand of sophisticated drawing-room love for the lure of the primitive. Above, look what love and the tropics have done to our own debonair Monte Blue in "Across the Pacific." Myrna Loy plays the seductive South Seas lady. Below, Walter Pidgeon yields to the native lure of Dolores del Rio in "Upstream." It is easy to believe that Eve did the tempting when Olive Borden plays that much-to-answer-for young woman to George O'Brien's Adam in "Fig Leaves." Below, what chance has a marine when an island vamp sets her hibiscus blossom for him? William Haines and Carmel Myers in "Tell It to the Marines."
