Film Fun


Charlie Chaplin reads Film Fun (title page March 1919)

Film Fun was an American monthly magazine published July 1915 to September 1942. It was discontinued in 1942 by the Postmaster General who made an end to magazines with obscene material. Progressors of Film Fun were reprinting the articles from the humor magazine Judge (1887 to January 1890). This became Judge's Library (February 1890 to July 1912) and then the Fun magazine (August 1912 to June 1915).

The first songs featured humorous movies and the magazine had pictures of comics on the covers. From 1922, the painter Enoch Bolles received the supervision of the films of Film Fun. He showed summier dressed women on the covers that received the predicate Pin-up girl. The magazine later went on with stories about movies, star biographies, and many pictures. From mid 1923, just before the leaf folded, appeared in a larger format in 1942, Bolles painted almost every cover for the magazine. Then the sheet appeared with photographic covers. Externe link
