Entered at the Postoffice at Chicago, III., as Setond-class mail mattet Next Month Has it ever occurred to you what a difficult thing it is to get out a magazine every month which will be better than the last one, when you had used every resource that brains could devise or money influence to make the last one as good as possible? Well, that's our problem every month of the year, and here are a few of the things we have prepared for the May issue with that end in view : A Gem of a Cover There's the Gail Kane cover, for example. Some who have seen it say it is the finest work W. Haskell Coffin has ever done for a magazine. At least it is distinctively different, with beauty and charm all its own. And the interesting story of Miss Kane's career, never previously told, will be related as well, with new photographs by Victor Georg. What Happens to Their Clothes Perhaps you have wondered what happens to all the wonderful clothes which your favorite stars wear in their pictures. You wouldn't want to see the same gown twice, and so the amount of money spent with the modistes is enormous. We have asked a dozen or more stars about this, and will tell you what they do with costumes which have served their purpose. Favorite Personalities In the preparation of personality sketches, Photoplay has always gone to the utmost pains to obtain original and authentic material. Sketches of Elliott Dexter, Beverley Bayne, Wheeler Oakman, Wallace Reid, and Helen Eddyare being prepared. They may not all find room in the May issue, but are "on the fire."
