Vintage JULY 1938 PICTURE PLAY MAGAZINE
Hollywood Movies, Great photos, Commentary & Ads
Pictured on the cover is actress, Loretta Young, and also featured in an article along with such stars as Fred Astaire, Norma Shearer and Myrna Loy. Picture Play magazine was published monthly by Street and Smith Publications Inc. in New York. This issue is Volume 68 Number 5.
The magazine itself presents a glossy optimistic view of the day's movies and their stars, appealing mostly to women. Also featured are great ads for movies, deodorants, vitamins and especially cosmetics. This issue features a multi-page sepia tone feature on glamorous stars and movies . Pages are all clay coat and feature black and white illustrations and photos mostly and four colors on the covers.
Magazine dimensions are about, 8-1/2" x 11-1/2". There are 80 numbered pages in this July 1938 issue. Weight is 6 ounces.
The vintage condition is good with lots of wear on the edges & spine, no loose pages, but there is surface aging, soil, small tears & bent corners. Inside pages appear to be mostly clean. I have placed this issue in a clear acetate sleeve.
Thanks for looking. Please email me if you have any questions!
