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.

64 In and Out of the Studios The Christie girls, above, seem to have a cinch as screen jobs go. Work for them is just one prank after another, as Jack Duffy can tell you. Don't be sorry for the old man — he's quite a young fellow without his make-up. Billy Dooley, right, thinks swimmers are getting too much glory, so he brings the rowboat back to popular favor in the Catalina Channel. Jacqueline Gadsdon, below, introduces the dernier cri in fashion, a parasol and hat to match of black-and-white raffia, for Paris decrees a kinship between these charming articles of milady's dress. Monte Blue, upper right, simply can't get enough baseball so he carries three bats and wears glasses, so he won't misis the balls when they come too fast. Maybe he's only giving us something new as the hard-hitting hero of "The Bush Leaguer." "Just a cottage small." is the dearest place in the world to Mary Philbin, for after her studio work is done she goes home to father and mother and the everyday beauty of their home.
