Artifact Overview
From the beginning of the movie business, Americans wanted to know about the movies and their stars. In 1911, after a flood of inquiries, J.

The magazine -- later renamed Motion Picture Magazine -- provided fans with stories about film plots and glamorous illustrations of film stars.
