" The best voice in a wilderness of films "
That is what a New York motion picture man has said about The Film Spectator, edited by Welford Beaton and pubUshed in Hollywood.
Two years ago Welford Beaton conceived the idea of a new magazine devoted to the production and criticism of motion pictures. It was to be a publication that was different from others — one that did not fear facts — one that might not always be right, but one that would be courageous and honest.
Now The Spectator is acclaimed by public and press and Mr. Beaton is referred to as " America's most discerning motion picture critic ". He tells the truth about pictures and the people who make them with rare ability. Hundreds of heartening letters of commendation have been received.

" I naturally receive many magazines — all deadhead, bye the way, except The Film Spectator ! — but the latter is the only one of the lot I read, or have read, from cover to cover. And that is not because I pay for it, either." — Stewart Edward White.
