Motion Picture Magazine (Feb-Jul 1927)

Coming to You in the August Issue "GOD BLESS THE MOVIES" David Warfield, eminent dramatic star of a few years ago, pays high tribute to the motion picture. "God Bless the Movies Because They Are Clean," says this venerable artist who attained the heights of dramatic interpretation in "The Music Master," "The Auctioneer" and "The Return of Peter Grimm." "YOUNGER THAN APRIL" Janet Gaynor, whose overnight rise to stardom has been the sensation of the studios, tells Dorothy Manners what she thinks about the gifts the gods have showered upon her. From a meager part to the coveted feminine roles in "Sunrise" and "Seventh Heaven," this dainty miss remains her modest and retiring self. "ALL OVER THE LOT" By Gerald K. Rudulph Beginning with the August issue, our new editor will inaugurate a department that will hereafter be a feature in Motion Picture Magazine. Injecting his own personality into that which he writes, Mr. Rudulph will discuss subjects of interest to all who endeavor to keep pace with the continued and always amazing growth of the motion picture industry. Thru his frank discussions he hopes to attract many new friends to Motion Picture M\gazine.
