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.

If a Screen Refused to Reflect anything but the best feature pictures you would sit a long while at the ordinary show looking at a blank curtain. Then suppose all the best pictures that were reflected by this screen were grouped into one show, would you not be willing to pay well to see it? This magazine is like the magic screen — in it appear on/y1 the very best of the feature pictures — and in shortstory form that is fitting in quality to the films. And there is a lot more every week in Picture Play Weekly PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED= FIVE CENTS EVERYWHERE STREET & SMITH, PUBLISHERS, NEW YORK
