An Original Vintage Magazine (measures 8 1/2" x 11 1/2" [22 x 29 cm]) (Learn More) Film Fun was a monthly magazine that started in July 1915, and it was a pretty traditional movie fan magazine with a full-color cover of a leading star, and lots of heavily illustrated articles inside, just like all the other movie fan magazines of its time, except that most issues we have seen were printed on a high quality paper stock unlike the pulp paper used by most of its competitors. Somewhere around 1922 or 1923, it started having "racy" covers (perhaps because they discovered that covers by legendary pin-up artist Enoch Bolles outsold any of their "regular" covers), and by the early 1930s (at the latest), it had evolved into a "men's" magazine. Each of those issues had hundreds of sexy fully dressed images of movie actresses along with very scantily clad images of would-be actresses, hoping to get noticed and get to their big break. This magazine also had some somewhat risque jokes and stories! It ceased publication in 1942 (we wouldn't think the interest in such magazines would have dwindled during World War II, so there was likely some other reason). If anyone knows more about this magazine, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Enoch Bolles Important Added Info: Note that we have provided a picture of the front cover of the magazine, and pictures of interior two-page spreads (including the table of contents page if there is one; but we didn't make much effort to find the best ones!). These images should greatly help you judge the overall condition of the magazine, and the contents page lets you know exactly what articles and stories are contained in this particular issue.
