Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Dec 1916)

MOTION PICTURE One of the most graphic stories ever penned , and one of the most thrilling' (and doubly so because it is a true story , new and true), is “How I Got to Przemysl and Filmed the Bombardment” By JOHN ALLEN EVERETS the American Moving’ Picture Photographer with the German armies in the Eastern campaign. This story makes history. It should be read by everybody, young and old. Beautifully illustrated with wonderful photographs taken on the spot of this great battlefield. This great story will appear only in the February Motion Picture Magazine which will be on sale at all newsstands on and after January 1st. This number will be a memorable one for other reasons, too. It will contain a wonderful story by Robert J. Shores, written from one of the great classics of literature, a book that everybody loves, that most people have read several times, and that all will enjoy reading in the form of an illustrated short story. It is so well written that lovers of Cervantes will marvel, and it is illustrated with drawings by the great Dore and by photographs in which appear a number of favorite photoplayers, including the inimitable Fay Tincher, and also the king of comic opera stars, De Wolf Hopper, who plays the part of the grotesque knight-errant. This story, as you have already surmised, is Don Quixote And then there is a story by Hector Ames, entitled “The Girl with Nine Lives,” with illustrations which indicate that eight of those nine lives have already been lost — or nearly so. And not less important than these three features is a wonderful new contest that begins in the February Motion Picture Magazine, and when you read about it you will admit that it is the cleverest idea that has yet been presented to the Motion Picture public. A BIGGER AND With this number the Motion Picture Magazine begins its sixth year, and it starts with a number that will be very hard to equal thereafter. It was the first in the field, and it has grown while others have come and gone and still others arc struggling along the rough road. We lead, others follow; we pointed the way, and now dozens are aiming at the star to which we hitched our wagon. Still again, we have added eight pages to the magazine, and it will now be BETTER BOOK Better see your newsdealer NOW and arrange to get a copy of the February Motion Picture Magazine before it is sold out, which will probably be the ease before it has been on sale a week.
