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.

95 Emil Jannings Sees America The German star gets initiated into the 0'*^ joys of ice cream sodas, ice cream cones and other ancient and honored American customs. Oh, boy ! It's his first chocolate ice-cream soda ! Sucked through a straw too ! And if that look of bliss means anything at all, it's our guess that Herr Jannings is getting a kick, if nothing else, out of America. Below, Emil is welcomed to Hollywood by two fellow Europeans — Greta Nissen, who was long since lured to America from Norway, and Arlette Marchal, who came from gay Paree about a year ago. Above, he sees at first hand some of California's midwinter blooms that he has heard so much about, and decides that the Golden State entirely comes up to expectations. But the biggest thrill of his ife came when he made the acquaintance of an ice-cream cone. His wife introduced him, and so sublime were his sensations as he licked away the icy cream with his outstretched tongue that he vows that, if he never makes another film, his visit to America is now complete.
