Auction History Result 9e055 MGM STUDIO NEWS exhibitor magazine February 11, 1939 Huckleberry Finn, Let Freedom Ring! Date Sold 3/25/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Exhibitor Magazine (measures 10 1/4" x 13 1/2" [26 x 34 cm]; 12 pages) (Learn More) Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studio News, the exhibitor magazine published by MGM. In the 1910s, Universal started publishing their "Universal Weekly", and they distributed it free to theater owners (to encourage them to book Universal movies), but the other studios did not follow suit, instead choosing to advertise in exhibitor magazines, and to publish once a year "campaign books" (also known as studio yearbooks). MGM started this weekly magazine in the mid to late 1930s, and most issues were around 12 or 16 pages, and were filled with information about the latest MGM releases. It was apparently successful enough that MGM started their lavish monthly "Lion's Roar" magazine in the early 1940s. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided a picture of the front cover of the magazine, and also pictures of one or more interior two-page spreads (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. Please realize that there were only a few ads in each magazine, and that the bulk of each magazine is taken up by stories about current productions and other information of interest to theater owners (and I don't know that this information can be found anywhere else or that it has been reproduced in any book since its first publication!). Please know that these magazines are sealed in bags and are ready for shipping, and we cannot answer any questions about them or look through them for you, so please bid (or do not bid) based on the images we have provided. Condition: very good. There is a small tear in the top of the cover and some surface paper loss in the "L" of "LET" on the cover. Note that we have attempted to check to see if the magazine is complete and uncut, and we believe that it is. However, there is a slight possibility that we might have missed a small cut or a page that was neatly removed, and if that happens, you can return the magazine. We have solely provided an overall description of the condition of the magazine, but you can also refer to our super-sized images. Please bid (or not bid) based on that overall grade and by viewing the super-sized images. Learn More about condition grades
