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.

"Not from what I can see now." "Oh, I'm dreadfully sorry about — about our quarrel, Oscar," she cried. "Honest, I am." "Yes ; I can see you are — sorry a whole lot. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Glad !" "But you don't understand! Mr. Lavender " "I understand all I need to," Oscar broke in. "You don't have to do any explaining."

"Who asked you to horn in here?" he demanded. "Nobody asked me. I just did. Maybe I've got a right to. You better move along before you get hurt." "You can't talk to me like that!" Oscar cried, en"I'm going to settle with you, you big ham actor! And this time you better not try using a gunon me." "A gun?" Lester echoed, chuckling. "Why,T merely tapped you on the chin with the back of my hand. I'll do it again if you don't cool off." "Try it!" Oscar challenged, stepping forward. He was blazing mad now. But his eyes were open ; he was cautious despite his rage.
