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.

27 They're Screaming! — this mad rage for comedy movies? There are so many become so important, that for these pairs of comedians. Ever since George Sidney and Charlie Murray headed the rival factions in "The. Cohens and the Kellys," the Jew and the Irishman have been teamed in one comedy after another. Recently, they were seen in "Lost at the Front," and now they appear in "The Life Oif Riley," right, as a Jewish chief of police and an Irish chief of the fire department. With all the men cutting up such capers, the ladies decided it was time ihcy produced a comedy team, too, so Polly Moran and Marie Dressier got together and had an uproarious time in "The Callahans and the Murphys," below. Now they are combining their talents once more in "Bringing Up Father." "But just wait till they see us!" whispers Chester Conklin to W. C. Fields. "Then they'll see some real fun!" These two veterans of comcdv are being cofeatured in "The Side Show."
