Motion Picture Magazine, May 1914 (1914)

MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE 155 EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Just glance over the following list of articles that are to appear in the Motion - Picture Magazine, and decide for yourself whether you can afford to be without it: MOVING PICTURE TOYS By EUGENE V. BREWSTER This article shows the evolution of Motion Pictures so clearly that a child would understand. Mr. Fryer has made drawings of various toys and devices that were once in use, and these will be used to illustrate this interesting article. Fathers and mothers will want to read this to their children, and, if they have none, they will want to read it themselves. ROYALTY AND THE MOVIES By ERNEST A. DENCH, of London This is a remarkable article. After reading it you will never be ashamed to tell your ai-istocratic friends that you are a "movie fan"; for, if kings and queens and princes attend Motion Pictures and enjoy them, it is certainly no crime for us ordinary mortals to do so. This article will be handsomely illustrated with half-tone plates, made from original photo- graphs, which we obtained at considerable expense and trouble, including the following: Prince Alexander Ferdinand of Prussia, the Princess Augusta, King Manuel, King Alphonso, the ex-Queen of Portugal, the Queen of Spain, the President of Brazil, Lady Beryl Le Poer Trench, Prince Wllhelm, Queen Sophia of Greece, Kaiser Wilhelm and the entire Royal family, and, last but not least, King George of England and his consort Queen Mary. This will certainly be an article worth preserving. Everybody should read it, and every theater owner should frame it so that the proud ones can see that the best people in the world are not too good for the pictures. MARY FULLER'S DIARY! We dont intend to tell you how we got possession of this very interesting book, but we did! Wait until you see what happened to Mary every day! Then we have others, too, and they are choice! OLD-TIME MARINE FIGURE-HEADS By Mary Taylor Fait. An interesting and instructive illustrated article, similar to "Old New England Wall-Papers," which supplies another link in the chain of Motion Picture evolution. MOVING PICTURE AUDIENCES By Beth Haskar, giving a clever analysis of the different kinds of people who regularly attend the picture theaters. GREAT ACTORS OF THE PAST In this, Charles Sutton, of the Edison Company, recalls some interesting stage experiences, and comments on the powers of McCullough, Ada Rehan, Ward, Couldoc, Stoddard and others. MOTION PICTURE INFLUENCES This long and well-illustrated article, by R. H. Pray, shows the wholesome influence of a good Motion Picture theater on a community, and the evil effects of a poor one. The author relates personal experiences in Chicago and elsewhere in a highly entertaining way. All reformers and church-workers should read this article, as well as every father and mother. ALL THE PLAYERS IN CARICATURE Those who remember our Christmas Tree Drawing and a later one, each containing the portraits of sixty or more popular players, will be pleased to learn that we have another, which will appear in the June issue. It contains about 75 portraits, and is entitled "The Motion Picture Picnic." It is very funny. THE LURE OF THE CINEMA By Ernest A. Dench. showing how persistently unfitted applicants pester Motion Picture companies. EDITH STOREY. ETHEL CLAYTON, MIRIAM NESBITT, JUSTINA and LOUISE HUFF, WARREN KERRIGAN, MARY PICKFORD and others have been chatted, interviewed, walked with and interrogated for the edification and pleasure of our readers, and these are only a few of the many features that we have obtained to help make the Motion Picture Magazine the most wonderful magazine on earth.
