Are you watching a lot more Netflix movies than normal during your Covid-19 isolation? Mix it up a little by reading about the movies of yesteryear in the magazine Moving Picture World. This onetime industry mainstay discussed the ins and outs of the film industry during the 1910s and 1920s, from how to portray high society to updates about the roles that major actors and actresses were playing. It even covered 1918 if you want to read about how movie industry insiders spoke about and dealt with the last pandemic. If you don’t however, there’s no reason not to enjoy hearing about Madame Nazimova’s exploits and Mary Pickford’s productions from other years!
