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.

28 Those Pirates Bold Take a look at these terrors of the bounding main, and decide whether the sea is a safe place to spend your vacation. Gwen Lee, below, has just put the crew in irons, and is about to lay down the law to her cowering prisoners. Myrna Loy, right, is a good-humored pirate — she can laugh her captives into giving her anything she wants. Dorothy Sebastian, above, has a menacing look in her eyes, which will brook no refusal when she decides that she can't go on being a pirate without another necklace. / Gertrude Olmsted, right, leads the school of frolicsome piracy. No sooner has she filled her chest with treasures than she is ready to lead a pirate's ballet. Marietta Millner, right, a recent importation from Austria, is an apprentice pirate, else she wouldn't be coy and try to conceal her booty of beads.
