MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE The First Issue of the will be the September number, and it will be on sale on August 15th Price 15c the Copy, at Newsstands or by Mail. Size 9ixl2£ The first edition will naturally not be on sale at all newsstands until a demand for this new magazine has been created. Hence, those who cannot secure a copy otherwise may mail 15 cents (coins or 1-cent stamps) direct to us at any time, and a copy will be mailed as soon as it comes from the press. Remember that first editions are always rare and valuable. We will give $1.00 each for copies of the first number of the MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE— so dont miss the first number of this great, new, handsome magazine, the handsomest in the world. Remember the Date! Wait for It! Watch for It! For years the readers of the MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE have been asking us to make the magazine a weekly or a semi-monthly, and we have long felt the need of reaching our readers oftener than once a month — of delivering our message more promptly. During the last year or two the Motion Picture industry has grown by leaps and bounds, and so has our magazine; but twelve numbers a year are not enough to say what we have to say. Instead of changing our present magazine into a semimonthly, which might displease some of our readers — principally those who feel that they cannot afford to pay fifteen cents twice a month — we have decided to continue our present monthly magazine just as it is, without any change whatever, and to issue another brand-new magazine, which will come out just fifteen days later. It will have very much the same departments as its sister, namely, a Gallery of Popular Players, Chats, Brief Biographies, Stories, Greenroom Jottings, and an Answer Department conducted by our own inimitable Answer Man. Those who wish to have their queries answered or their letters to the Editor published in the first issue may address them the same as before, except that on the top of each must be written, "For the Supplement." The same editors and writers, the same departments, the same printer, the same publisher — our own readers will surely be enthusiastic about this new magazine. It will not be necessary for readers of one publication to read the other, for each is complete in itself and entirely different from the other in material, altho the general character will be the same. The front cover will be a beautiful picture of Gertrude McCoy, in many colors. New stories, new features — nothing will be repeated. Price 15 cents the copy; subscriptions $1.75 the year. Watch for final announcements in the September number of the MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE, which will come out on July 31st.
