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.

63 Studios and play. As Rin-Tin-Tin can tell you, the way of a movie idol — and a war hero at that — -is hard, what wilh pretty girls like Leila Hyams and Myrna Loy making him pose on a beach ball. Even a dog has feelings ! Bebe Daniels seems to be stealing Harold Lloyd's stuff — we always thought he had a copj'right on horn-rimmed glasses. But no doubt Bebe will shed the specs and turn out to be a beautiful girl who gets her man. William Austin appears with Bebe Daniels in "Swim, Girl, Swim." There seem to be so many bathing suits and balls around that we've run out of captions for Yola d'Avril and Alice White, above, who look so fetching they really should have a line. Wonder if ^larceline Day, left, knows 'that the trout season is closed, or is she just trying out her fetching costume and rod on the minnows ? If it were not for that boyish hair cut, Leatrice Joy, right, might be more convincing in the pose of a home girl. It takes more than a spinning wheel to give Leatrice that old-fashioned look. Leatrice goes in for antiques. Let's hope her home isn't Spanish. Spinning wheels are like grandmothers — they simply don't go with tiled floors and iron balustrades.
