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.

Lon is all dressed up for "Mr. Wu." Spring has come for Harry Garey, too. Below, he and his two youngsters play horse down on the beach, and if the wicked gleam in the horse's eye means anything at all, we suspect there's going to be some rough riding. The man with the smile is William Haines, and who wouldn't grin, with a pile of fan letters like that! That's a sample of what he gets every day, and the pile is getting bigger all the time. When in doubt, kill the . director. Right, Karl Dane and Marceline Day try to shove Director Sam Wood overboard during the filming of "Red, White, and Blue."
