Date Sold 4/3/2011Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Magazine Cover (measures 9 1/2" x 11 3/4" [24 x 30 cm]) (Learn More) Street & Smith's Picture-Play ("America's Favorite Magazine of the Screen"; "The Best Magazine of the Screen"; "Little Journeys to Filmland"; "The Film Magazine for Moderns"; "The Honest Magazine of the Screen"), one of the many movie magazines (first published in the early 1910s, when it measures 6 3/4" x 10") sold to the public (within a few years it would go to the larger size that became standard among movie magazines). Each issue features a great full color cover of a leading star of the day, plus lots of interior publicity stories about current stars and movies with many black and white images throughout. Also, in every issue are many wonderful vintage ads, in black and white, and sometimes the ads can be just as much fun as the original stories and pictures. Of course, some of the ads are from movies that were about to open, and in the early days of eBay, people would remove those full-page ads and auction them by themselves, and they would often sell for $10, $20, or more, just for a single movie ad removed from a magazine just like this! Note that in December of 1939, the publishers of the magazine drastically revamped it and tried to give it a new updated look, with a complete makeover! There was a subtitle under the title that read "The Film Magazine for Moderns (News - Pictures - Fashions - Beauty)". We have no idea of whether this increased circulation or not. Important Added Info: Note that this is solely the cover of a magazine! Please do not bid on this item thinking it is a complete magazine. It seems quite possible that this is some sort of proof of the cover, because the spine is included with it, and it is not folded over, and there is an extra strip of blank white paper at the top. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good. Note that this is solely the cover of a magazine! Please do not bid on this item thinking it is a complete magazine. Learn More about condition grades
