Anyone who knows the Pictorial knows exactly how much we gush over the splashy color of a vintage movie magazine. Give us an Earl Christy Photoplay cover and we’re set. (Throw in a dry martini to go with it and we’re set for LIFE.)

This being the case, and this being Baby’s week, what better time to revisit some delightful cover art from Hollywood movie magazines of the 1930s:

Screenbook, 1931
Motion Picture Magazine, 1937
Picturegoer, 1932
Movie Classic Magazine, 1935
Picture Play Magazine, 1936
Populist Screen Magazine (Canada)
Silver Screen Magazine, 1933
Picture Play, May 1937 (one month before her death)

  1. Kitty, sorry I’ve been slow to get going on Harlow 100 but I’m still learning the blog stuff, and have had another project take much more time than I thought.
    Since I am a complete virgin with this, how do I forward my post to you when its ready (hopefully by tomorrow at latest. Please be gentle with me!

    my wordpress URL shows up as “Gene Zonarich” and can you just click on that and “read my Stuff?”

  2. I love these vintage magazines! They are so much fun to ruffle through and collect! Keep up the good work with the blogathon; I just tweeted about it at http://www.twitter.com/vivandlarry 🙂

  3. Gorgeous! Now I just need a well-paying job (or ANY job, really) so I can fulfill my dream of collecting these…
