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.

87 eartbreakers the screen march out in such devastating uniforms as these? Lon Chancy, left, proved that he didn't need a disguise to give a fine performance as Sergeant O'Hara in "Tell It to the Marines." Lewis Stone, above, wore a British uniform in "Midnight Lovers" with that quiet authority which indicated years of experience, rather than a flair for olive drab. This was because he is a veteran of the Spanish-American War, and a major in the United States Reserves. Neil Hamilton, right, is the second of those three famous Geste brothers every one has been talking about. He is Digby, and his uniform is, of course, that of a French Legionnaire, but he wears his cap at a rakish angle all his own. James Hall, left, sported the Austrian uniform of Paul Ahnasy in "Hotel Imperial." If his success in deceiving the Russians in that picture means anything, he should play many more military heroes.
