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.

67 the Studios both at work and at play, on and off the set. While Will Rogers was in England he spent his spare time adding to the merriment of Dorothy Gish's new British picture, "Tip Toes." Below, Nelson Keys, Dorothy, and Will make a comic trio in the film. All the comforts of home are to be found in Pola Negri's bungalow suite of rooms on the Lasky lot. Above, she makes herself comfortable while waiting to be called. The Buddha at her side is centuries old and was purchased in the Orient especially for her. Below, Buck Jones and his horse, Silver Buck, write the scenario together for "The War Horse." Silver Buck whispers ideas into Buck's ear, and Buck writes them down on the typewriter. This isn't just posed — Buck Jones really did write the script for his new film. If you want a hint on how to dress for tennis, take it from Colleen Moore. She means business when she goes onto the court, so she has started the sensible style of wearing trousers— and take it from us, she gets her ball every time!
