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.

44 The Flowers That Bloom Every year, about this time, as the flowers emerge into the sunshine and have their photos Marie Prevost slips into a neat pair of overalls, adjusts her straw hat at a jaunty angle, and with pruning shears deftly poised, poses for a photo of a "celebrated movie star trimming her own trees." "Hark, hark! The lark!" Leatrice Joy pauses in the gentle task of gathering daisies to heed the lovely notes of a near-by songbird. Above, Jane Winton is discovered in her garde 1 picking pansies. Left, Vilma Banky daintily peeps into the heart of a rose and learns all sorts of thrilling secrets. Right, Kathryn Perry strolls about her luxuriant garden and gathers a whole basket of fragrant blooms.
