MOTIOX PICTURE MAGAZINE
EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
This is our Holiday Number. How do you like it? If you cannot say of it the "best yet/' which has now become a slogan, you surely can say it of our February Number, which will be placed on sale on Tuesday, January 5th. Remember the date, for it is five days earlier than usual. This number will contain the usual quota of illustrated stories and the following departments :
The Answer Man Brief Biographies "How I Became a Photoplayer " Greenroom Jottings Gallery of Players Musings of the Photoplay PhiChats with the Players Penographs losopher Funny Stories That Are " What They Were Doing " Humorous Drawings True Popular Plays and Players Cartoon by Jack Smith
Besides all this we have some really fine special articles. Y >u have read our various trips to the Edison, Essanay and Yitagraph studios, but you haven't been told yet just what happens to your scripts (scenarios or photoplays as they are often called)., and just how they are read, voted on, treated and produced; therefore, we have had L. Case Russell, author of the famous "Here Lies," write an article entitled "THE STORY OF YOUR STORY." Nearly everybody has written a photoplay (or will, some day), but very few know just what becomes of it if accepted. This article gives you a graphic history of the adventures of a script, and it is extremely bright and interesting. It gives you all the inside workings of a studio, and shows just how a photoplay is transformed from paper to film.
And after you have read this article, which is nicely illustrated, you will surely want to read the second chapter, which is entitled "How the Film Is Made," by Irving Crump. This also is exceedingly interesting as well as instructive, and it describes in detail the numerous things that happen to your "story" after the director and players have done their part and before you see it on the screen.
And here are a few of the other articles that are sure to be popular with our readers :
