Photoplay (Feb 1923)

84 Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section Greatest Issue of a Moving Picture Magazine Ever Published! Do you agree with us? Consider this issue: My Life Story By RODOLPH VALENTINO The timeliest story that could be told. The most scintillant autobiography of today, revealing Rodolph Valentino as only he knows himself. This boy — the idol of the world today — reveals an unusual, many sided personality. The greatest quality of his character, we believe, is his utter frankness. In writing his life story he is ruthless with himself. He never for a moment poses. It is a new VALENTINO you will find in his story, it is the boy Rodolph — romantic, yes — but also naive, terribly sincere, boyish, and best of all, with the saving sense of humor that too few stars possess. This installment, UNDER ITALIAN SKIES, is an epic of Italian boyhood, as honest as it is lovable. His next chapter, BROADWAY NIGHTS, is of tragic realism, made bright by the humor which is always his no matter how great his suffering. We are mighty proud to present THE LIFE STORY OF RODOLPH VALENTINO. The Loves of Charlie Chaplin The Loves of Chaplin, written frankly and with unusual charm, by ADELA ROGERS ST. JOHNS, presents the truth about the great heart affairs of the famous comedian from his first love to his last. What Rich Stars The Kid Who Earned a Million ADELA ROGERS ST. JOHNS is recognized by the leading magazines of America as one of the most brilliant of the younger generation of writers. She has style, understanding and the true touch in her articles. Read THE KID WHO EARNED A MILLION and, for the first time, realize the romantic phenomena of today — the achievements of six year old Jackie Coogan, with the first complete and authentic story of his discovery, development and financial standing. The Shadow Stage The most authoritative and constructive department of motion picture criticism published today. Edited by FREDERICK JAMES SMITH, the foremost critical authority on the photoplay and a man who believes that the public wants the best. Gossip — East and West Photoplay has always been known for its live news and comments upon screen activities. The rapidity of its press facilities and the central location of its distribution permits Photoplay to beat every other screen magazine every month. Coupled with these splendid mechanical facilities is an editorial staff actually on the inside of screendom. Do With Their Money An article which forever destroys the idea that all stars are spendthrifts. FREDERICK JAMES SMITH presents an amazing array of figures and facts showing what stars are actually worth and how they invest their money. Through his intimacy with the people and history of filmdom, he gives you the facts as no other writer could — and he makes facts as interesting as fiction. Witty Wallops CLOSE UPS AND LONG SHOTS is a new monthly department inaugurated by HERBERT HOWE, interviewer, raconteur, and Photoplay’s globe trotter, who has just returned from nine months touring Europe and studying film conditions. Personality Stories Interviews and chats that are different because they are written by the biggest writers in the magazine world. This month: Theodore Kosloff, Wesley Barry, and others you are interested in. The Romantic History of Motion Pictures The first and only complete story of the evolution of the photoplay written by the one man who knows, Terry Ramsaye. Photoplay assigned Mr. Ramsaye to this a year before his first article appeared. He was sent across the United States and to Europe to get his facts. Photoplay has the most noteworthy Editorial Staff of Any Filin Magazine in the World: Adela Rogers St. Johns Frederick James Smith Herbert Howe Delight Evans Margaret Sangster Terry Ramsaye But next month, PHOTOPLAY will be even more interesting.
