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 Captains Courageous Whether on land or sea, our heroes are born to command — not only the men under them, but a fair damsel somewhere in the offing. Jack Holt, below, should naturally have his mind on the hazardous work of a diver in "Submarine," but nis suspicions of Dorothy Revier, as his faithless wife, are beginning to disturb him. Ronald Colman, left, as Liugard, in "The Rescue," apparently is scanning the horizon for a glimpse of the inevitable woman, in this case Lily Damita, as Airs. Trovers. Grant Withers, right, though absorbed in the dangerous business of rum running, has his weather eye cocked for Dolores Costello, in "The Madonna of Avenue A." Gary Cooper, below, has his cares as the captain of a rich man's yacht, for the owner has placed his daughter in Gary's charge, in "Half a Bride," and as she is Esther Ralston, the star, it is no wonder that he fears heart trouble. Good, old Captain Andy H azvk s , in "Show Boat," a s played by Otis Harlan, above, is at peace with the world, because of his love for Laura La Plante, as his daughter, Magnolia.
