I recently purchased the February 1917 issue of Motion Picture Magazine and was pleasantly surprised to find detailed results of a popularity fan poll inside. Motion Picture Magazine claims over a million fans voted, and I don’t doubt that they did. These fan polls were popular in the early days, but these results seem very detailed and judging by the number of voters this appears to have been quite a serious poll.
Please go here to read the rest and see the most popular 102 stars of 1917
