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.

15 PICTURE PLAY, June, 1929 Vol ume XXX Number 4 Photo by Ruth Harriet Louise "The Trial of Mary Dugan" will bring the voice of Norma Shearer to the screen for the first time, as Mary Dngan, the chorus girl charged with murder, who is eloquently defended by her brother, Jimmy. He will be played by Raymond Hackett, who enacted the role on the stage with striking success. They are here seen in a thrilling moment from the all-dialogue film, when Mary anxiously watches the faces of the jury for a sign of the outcome.
