 This digital facsimile edition of a Photoplay Magazine issue from 1918 is packed with articles, photos, reviews, film novelizations, and trade and commercial advertisements. Photoplay was the top fan film magazine of the silent era in the United States, and often relayed facts (and sometimes billious exaggeration) on films, actors and directors that were reported nowhere else.
This issue contains the articles “Photoplay Writing” by John Emerson and Anita Loos, “Mary Pickford, the Girl” by Delight Evans, “Putting It Together” by Helen Starr on film editors, plus articles on Alice Brady, Gladys Brockwell, Marguerite Clark, Marjorie Daw, Elsie Ferguson, Louise Huff, Doris Kenyon, Gladys Leslie, Alla Nazimova, Pauline Starke, Fay Tincher, Maurice Tourneur and others.
