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.

Allay Up How Jobyna Ralston keeps that schoolgirl complexion. Now that acrobatic roles are so prevalent in the movies, Jobyna's gymnastics should stand her in good stead. After she has rolled and tumbled, stood on her head several times, and walked upside down along parallel bars, she is ready for anything — be it the leading role in a circus film, or just a strenuous evening in Hollywood society. Instead of running down to the corner drug store every time her rouge gets low, Jobyna Ralston runs over to the gymnasium and turns a few handsprings with her trainer. Left, the trainer converts himself into a human trapeze for Jobyna to chin herself on. We're afraid that steed that she has mounted at the left won't carry her very far, but she has by this time worked up so much energy that she could win a race on her own momentum.
