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.

61 of the Studios there round about the movie town. "I wanna go back to the farm ! I don' wanna be a movie actor!" cried Karl Dane, right, when George K. Arthur turned the hose on him one day out at the M.-G.-M. studio. Karl and George are featured as a new comedy team in "Rookies," a film of military training camps during the war. One look at Bobby Vernon in his snappy yachting outfit, below, and you'll agree that he's really wasted in slapstick comedies. His little daughter, Barbara, and his wife think so, too. "Look pleasant, please!" And they did, only Rocky, the wire-haired terrier, was a little doubtful about it. But Meta, the German police dog, was only too glad to show off her pure-white coat. The above picture of Joseph Schildkraut and his two pets was taken on his front step. The latest thing, girls, is to wear your boutonnieres on your slippers — commc ci. Be sure you buy fresh flowers and that they match your gown. Sally Blane, right, has chosen violets.
