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.

Morning, Noon and Night Presenting an array of fashions for every hour of the day. Hoop skirts are decidedly coming in again. Left, Marceline Day wears a hoop-skirted evening frock of peachcolored chiffon, trimmed with rhinestones and self-colored ostrich feathers. The evening gown at the right, worn by Gertrude Olmsted in "Becky," is of purple chiffon trimmed with rhinestones and pearls. Right, Sally O'Neil appears in "Slide, Kelly, Slide," this afternoon dress of pink organdie, trimmed with black velvet. Half the charm of Joan Crawford's dinner frock, above, lies in its delicate coloring — pale blue, brocaded in silver — which, of course, does not show in a photograph. A dancing hat of silver cloth and silver lace is worn with it. And for sport wear, what could be smarter than Gwen Lee's two-piece suit, left, of blue and white checks, worn with a blue felt hat.
