Modern Screen (Dec 1931 - Nov 1932 (assorted issues))

133? ( ©C1B 1 This Month in Modern Screen These famous authors give you their very best Booth Tarkington, whose name stands at the very tip-top of American story writers, pens with his particular genius, humor and understanding, an open letter which deals with one of the greatest problems facing the movie industry today. Only Booth Tarkington can treat such a subject with such a delightful combination of intelligence and charm. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, although not an author in the strict sense of the word, is famous for the searching qualities of her mind and her zeal in questions devoted to social service. Mrs. Roosevelt givesyou her views on just what effect the movies are having on us as a nation today. What she has to say on this subject is bound to get your interest. Faith Baldwin, whose name certainly needs no introduction to readers of Modern Screen, gives you a fascinating story on Janet Gaynor and Charlie Farrell. Everyone knows that Janet and Charlie make the perfect screen couple — the perfect Mr. and Mrs. as Miss Baldwin puts it. But not everyone reads into this histrionic perfection the charming and romantic idea which this author does. And Jack Jamison, Lowell Thomas, Adele Whitely Fletcher, Virginia T. Lane, Walter Ramsey, Franc Dillon, Curtis Mitchell, and — as usual — our own beauty whiz, la Biddle. MODERN SCREEN FEATURES What Are the Movies Doing To Us? Mrs. Franklin D.
