Stories From a 100 Year Old Film Magazine

- The Moving Picture World was an influential film magazine covering pretty much everything to do with the movie industry in the early 20th century. I've stumbled upon it plenty of times while doing research for my videos so I just had to check it out properly.

Toni's Film Club is all about interesting film history, movies, directing, writing, editing and everything else that goes into this wonderful art form. Oh yeah, and bad jokes. You've been warned.

Did I wait for months just so I can publish the video on this exact date? You bet.
As always, I hope you enjoyed. If you haven't already, make sure to subscribe. Not only do I have some really cool stuff in the works, but as we approach 1000 subscribers I might finally make my parents proud (probably won't but worth the shot).
See you on the next one!

Crazy to think about how these companies like Paramount were already big deals back then, and now, a hundred years later, they’re still as big and successful as ever. Crazy.
Exactly what I was thinking. So much has changed yet at the same time so little.
Everything is just more mammoth. There is a very distinct difference though as back in the beginning studios were owned by usually a small group - or eve one - entrepreneurs, usually Eastern European, some who had success in related industries like movie arcades, film or live theatre or amusement parks. Other companies like United Artists were formed by a small group of actors - Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Chaplin and director DW Griffith, to give them more control over their work.
Now even though most film companies retained their name and even a variation of the original logos, they are owned by huge multinational media or investment capital corporations.
@@Pioneers_Of_Cinema I love your comments, always sharing really good info. Thank you!
Oh, this is SOOOO cool. The Chaplin advertisement right at the beginning is very interesting, since at that point, the films featured were already nine years old! Its actually thanks to re-releases like this that wr have so many of the Keystones at all. Original 1914 prints of those movies are unobtanium.
Really good point!
Those early trade journals have amazing artwork and fascinating insights into the workings of the distribution and exhibition sides of the industry.
You are correct the main target audience was theatre owners.
That copyright warning on the Chaplin page indicates that copyright protection was a problem even in the very early days. Then it was only restricted to boot-leg film prints and non-authorised screenings of legitimate film prints.
Little could they have envisioned the copyright problems that would come much later with VHS tapes, then DVD technology and the more up to date threat of online piracy, file sharing etc.
This was fascinating! Print media has tremendous historical value, and I'm so proud you took time to highlight these treasures. I've come to inherit a number of magazines/souvenir programs from the 1920s, and when I read them I feel like a time-traveller. Fantastic job, my friend (and I loved the ending)!
Happy to hear there are people like you out there!
They are a treasure trove. Fascinating artwork - often different to the artwork used to sell to the public. These were aimed at the exhibition and distribution industry so they'd often quote insider-related material.
Loved the 2123 ending!!!!
I do volunteer work at the library of the local abbey and came across a booklet for film esthetics from 1958 discussing the greatest movies to that date and wow they're even today amongst the greatest movies ever! Nice video! What a find!
Oh nice! What were some of the movies?
