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.

91 Second Fiddle Though relatives of certain screen celebrities have decided abilities the fans seldom, if ever, hear of them. Introducing — Jack Stone, left, is a good-looking fellow, as well as cousin to Colleen Moore. Beth Laemmle, right, is a popular dancer, and Uncle Carl Laemmle is proud of her. Eleanor Ames, below, who appears in "The Battle of the Sexes," is really the sister of Betty Bronson. Nancy Kenyon, above, in "The Butter and Egg Man," won nice comment, though few know she is Doris Kenyon's niece. You'd probably not guess that David Tearle, below, in "Celebrity," is cousin to Conway Tearle, but he is.
