Summary "Film Truth; November, 1920" by Anonymous is a publication that provides critical commentary and insights into the motion picture industry during the early 20th century. This magazine, rooted in journalism, appears to have been written in the post-World War I era, a time when cinema was rapidly transforming and society was grappling with changing cultural norms. The overarching theme of the issue emphasizes the importance of truth in the film industry, highlighting the issues of censorship, manipulation by producers, and the commercialization of art. In this particular issue, "Film Truth" addresses various topics affecting the film industry, including critiques of sensationalist advertising, ethical concerns regarding censorship, and commentary on the actions and reputations of notable figures in Hollywood. The publication gives voice to the notion of "smut" in advertisements that undermine artistic integrity. It highlights the tension between artistic aspiration and commercial exploitation, calling for a more honest relationship between filmmakers and their audience. With a variety of articles, including financial exposes, gossip, and sharp critiques of specific films and personalities, the magazine serves as both a watchdog and a champion for genuine artistic expression in an increasingly commercialized industry.
