YOU have noticed, have you not, that The MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE has been getting better and better every month? Well, it.has, and we expect to keep it up. The principal regret we have is in not being able to satisfy many of our readers who want the magazine twice a month. We are now two years old and we have over a million readers every month. By giving these what they want, and more too, we hope to double that number. The February number will be unusually fine. The cover will be a Valentine Design by our staff artist, A. B. SHULTS, and will contain several pen-and-ink sketches by the same artist, also a page of funny cartoons by Bernard Gallagher. Besides the usual features, and departments, and stories by our well-known staff of excellent writers, there will be one story by a writer whose name is sufficient to guarantee a masterpiece. We are betraying no secret when we say that short stories by this great writer are in such demand that publishers gladly pay $1,000 each for them, and that no more can be had, for some time to come, at any price, because his time is fully engaged on "work alreacty ordered. ■ Readers of this magazine have had the pleasure of reading one story by this master-writer, and now they are to be treated to another ; for in the February number will be a story by the great REX BEACH fully illustrated with beautiful half-tones made from photographs taken by the Vitagraph Company. You cant afford to miss this wonderful story and this excellent number, and we dont believe you will. To make sure of getting it, tell your theater people to set aside a copy for you, or order your newsdealer to deliver a copy to your home. Remember that the April issue will be just as full of good things as were the preceding numbers, and you may decide that it is the best plan, after all, to subscribe. Twelve copies for $1.50 — think of it! Besides, you get twelve beautiful art portraits in colors — eight all at once, and the other four monthly. This set alone is worth much more than the $1.50, so you get the magazine for nothing. Your newsdealer or theater will take your subscription, or you may send direct to us.
