Movie magazine?

Yes

Still published?

No, ceased

- Photoplay’s fiercest competitor.
- Known for stunning color covers.
- Dominated newsstands for decades.
- Articles, pictorials and interviews with movie stars.
- Photoplay magazine's main competition.
- In the early 1990s and onwards, they concentrated on country music people and therefore ceased to be a movie mag.
