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.

97 Secret Aspirations Actors, alas! must play to the scenarists' tune — their screen lives are not theirs to live as they would. But in each man's heart is the desire to play, just once, the role he loves best Left, Raymond Hatton adores mother roles. "There is nothing like a laughing baby to make one give and give and give of the emotions," he has said. Mr. Hatton is not a Scotsman. Right, "art" is not just a word to George K. Arthur. No, it is more than that. One might almost say it is an idea. Above, a faun dancing through a moonlit garden, a nymph, captured, held, but not against her will — a midsummer idyl posed by Ben Turpin, filmland's most striking possessor of the elusive "It," and Lois Boyd. Left, Karl Dane loves playing the little home girl best of all. Here he is pictured as a beauty-contest winner from Peoria — or was it Oshkosh? Right, Lew Cody loves spiritual roles most, and is here seen in his own conception of celestial life.
