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.

26 c ame It came and it conquered man and maid, statelynature makes the whole world kin, even in Holly Audrey Ferris, above, fatigued by tearing her acting to tatters in a great, big emotional fracas, politely yawns to let the director know that he had better not ask her to go through the ordeal again. Myrna Loy, right, was just saying "Ah— ah — ah !" in a talkingpicture test, when she lost control of her lips and they expanded into a yawn ! The life of an actress is just one mishap after another, isn't it? Wheezer, above, of Our Gang, isn't bored with life, or acting— he just misses his afternoon nap. He's only a little over two years old, you see, and needs lots of sleep. Doris Hill, below, says that the first requisite of popularity in the movies is the ability to look pretty at all times. So she obliges with a demonstration which might tax the beauty of other girls. .J Certainly no lady should yawn so openly as Corinne Griffith, left, but Miss Griffith, if confronted by a book on etiquette for stars, would tell you that she is no lady in "Outcast," and that is where she yawned. —J
