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.

Lois Wilson, below, her make-up finished, gives her mirror a smile of thanks for having lent such valiant aid as she progressed, step by step, from cold cream to ipowder, to say nothing of mascara, which couldn't have been used at all if the looking-glass hadn't shown the Mildred Davis, above, tries to. teach Pal the virtues of mirror gazing, but the canine isn't interested in his art at the moment. Dione Ellis, left, with the help of the mirror, compares her costume with the original sketch made by the studio designer and, as might be expected, finds not a scallop's difference.
