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.

Their hilarious antics in "Behind the Front" made such a hit with the fans that they were immediately cofeatured again in "We're in the Navy Now." And now they are a pair of comic firemen in "Fireman, Save My Child." The combination of Ted McNamara and Sammy Cohen, below, as the Irish and Jewish doughboys in "What Price Glory" was a riot. So they were paired off again as the comedy relief in "Sunrise." and arc now being featured as rival taxi drivers in "The Gav Retreat."' The fans first discovered in "Rookies" how funny Karl Dane and George K. Arthur could be together. The big Dane and the little Englishman make their second joint appearance in "Babv Mine," above.
