From my library: Hollywood and the Great Fan Magazines


This book reproduces pages from Hollywoods great fan magazines like Silver Screen, Screenland, Modern Screen, Screen Book and Photoplay from the 1930s when Hollywood was amazing. Of course it also reveals the gossipy character of these magazines with stories titled as "What About Clark Gable Now?", "Jean Harlow From Extra to Star", "The Truth About William Powell", "What was Hollywood thinking?" or "Norma Takes a Dare". Nevertheless, it gives nice insight into the history of cinema fandom.
