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.

66 Witk Pen in Hand The omnipresent camera catches the stars in that critical moment which brings joy to their fans, and proves that they do answer their mail. Billie Dove, right, uses her pea to autograph pictures of special importance, hut isn't it asking too much of her to sign every one of the thousands which are d e manded? Though Maria Alba, above, is from Spain, she has learned early in her career to know what the fans expect, and her native courtesy and ceremoniousness do the rest. Victor McLaglen, right, remains cheerful in the face of every task, and shows as little likelihood of being wearied by his famous -smile than he does of acquiring writer's cramp. Sue Carol, below, ponders before she lets the ink flow, for she is meticulous in her choice of words and would never, never dash off an inscription unthinkingly, without regard for fitness to the occasion and the recipient. Marian Nixon, left, is kept so busy darting from film to film, that she must needs combine duty to her fans with relaxation for herself, sometimes.
