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.

Fashions in Furs Five furry wraps for frosty February days. If you're going out to tea, slip into this warmly lined black satin coat attractively trimmed with astrakhan. Carmel Myers is wearing it. For the evening, nothing has a more stylish and stunning effect than the combination of black chiffon velvet with white fox. These are combined in the rich-looking wrap that Pauline Starke is wearing, at the right. In a gray squirrel coat with collar and cuffs of fox, you can be chic and warm at one and the same time. Carmel Myers, left, defies the wintry blasts to make her shiver. One of the smartest furs of the season is pony skin. Miss Starke, left, is wearing a coat of brown pony that would greatly add to one's appearance on the street. Ermine for the evening will never go out of style — its soft luxuriant beauty will always be coveted. It is used to trim the black chiffon velvet wrap that Miss Myers exhibits at the right.
