Motion Picture was an American monthly fan magazine about
film, published from 1911 to 1977. It was the first fan magazine. It was
later published by Macfadden Publications.
Founded by Vitagraph studio head J. Stuart Blackton and partner Eugene
V. Brewster, its original title was The Motion Picture Story Magazine.
The magazine was very successful from its inception with an initial run
of 50,000 copies and a circulation of 200,000 by 1914. Writers were
amazed at the outset to receive their checks for contributions almost
immediately on acceptance, a policy on the part of Brewster that was
effective in quickly inducing the highest grade fiction authors to
become affiliated with the publication. Among its contributors were Rex
Beach, Will Carleton and Horatio C. King.
The magazine's most successful column was entitled "The Answer Man"
(written by a woman) that answered readers' questions about the film
world. This was an innovation, the first of its kind in journalism.
In 1914, it was renamed Motion Picture Magazine. Early editions included
fiction and information on how to get involved in film production. The
magazine shifted to a focus on celebrities and attracted a larger female
readership. In 1919, the circulation jumped from 248,845 to 400,000.
Its sister publication Motion Picture Classic was published monthly from
September 1925 to March 1931. In 1941, the magazine merged with
Hollywood Magazine and Screen Life. The final issue was in 1977.
