About the author
Born on February 17, 1879, Henry James Forman was an American editor and author. Sources consistently describe him as a journalist as well as a magazine and literary editor, and he is especially noted for Our Movie Made Children (1933), a popular summary of the Payne Fund Studies on the effects of motion pictures on young people.
Archival and reference sources show that his career moved through several prominent publications: he worked for the New York Sun, became news editor of Literary Digest, served as an associate editor of the North American Review, and later was managing editor of Collier's. He also taught creative writing at Temple University and reviewed books for The New York Times.
Forman died on January 3, 1966. I couldn’t confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages available here, so no profile image is included.
