Screen Book was a monthly published American magazine that ran from July,1928 to February, 1940, and was centered around the golden-age of Hollywood. In addition to celebrity gossip, it also included a fair amount of exclusive behind-the-scenes content as well as movie reviews, latest fashions, make up tips, and slice-of-life human interest stories that were usually written by, or about a specific celebrity of the time. This issue's articles include: "Culbertson Can't Take It!" The Marx Brothers play bridge; "Who Wears the Pants?" the scandalous trend of women wearing trousers and more. Full page ads for "Ex-Lady" with Bette Davis and "The Kiss Before the Mirror" with Nancy Carroll. Norma Shearer cover. 8.5" x 11.25". 72 pages. Black and white. NOTE: in Norm Saunders' early career he signed his work saunders, all lower case and evenly spaced, just like this example.
