My r avonte M agazine By MRS. ALTA STEVENS The loftiest themes that thrill the human heart Have always graced its pages with tine art, Each graphic story full in every part. Most wondrous legends of long ages past, Of curious lore that held the child-folk fast, That turned to fact the fiction of their minds, In magic form upon the screen unwinds. Or humor quaint, or pathos keen, it holds, Nor falters once till aptly it unfolds. Presenting oft the charming, race-old theme, In which a woman's love must all redeem ; Compelling instincts bind man's own heart fast Till love and home his dreaming years recast. Useless the cry of moss-grown pessimist ; Returns no more a bygone day. I wist; Ebbs out the old to join the Eon's mist. So, telling news of photoshow and screen, The mission of my favorite magazine. "Outranks them all.'' says Motion Picture fan ; Renowned from East to West, it leads the van, Yet months are reckoned few since it began. Marked aspirations glow thru all its verse. And answers by wise Answer Man are terse ; Gay Greenroom Jottings whisper many things And recent news of Playerdom outbrings ; Zest, gives the Photoplay Philosopher; Inspiring Chats with Players, pleasures stir; Now Picture Players' Gallery the rage, Enhancing silent drama and the stage.
