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.

For Connie was going to Europe. T stepped over things and around things and arrived at a large chair in the exact center of the confusion. I sat down. There was a startled, plaintive wail from underneath, and I got up hastily to discover that I had plumped myself on one of those weird, twisted dolls, all gold lace and taffeta, with long, sinuous legs and a knowing smile.
