    Vol. 47, No. 6. February 1938. Picture Play Magazine, originally titled Picture-Play Weekly was an American weekly published magazine centered around the movie industry during the golden-age of Hollywood. It was one of the earliest published tabloid style magazines that focused on celebrity gossip, but also included behind-the-scenes content, and movie reviews. It was first published on April 10, 1915, and ultimately transitioned from a weekly to a monthly publication before the end of it's production run in late 1941 after merging with Charm Magazine. This issue's articles include: "Why Lombard Won't Talk" Carole Lombard; "Streamlining the Stars" exercising stars; "First Host of Hollywood" Basil Rathbone hosts parties at his home; and more. Full-page ads for "Mannequin" with Joan Crawford and Spencer Tracy; "Every Day's a Holiday" with Mae West; "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" Disney's first feature film; and "Hollywood Hotel" directed by Busby Berkeley. Myrna Loy cover by A. Redmond. 8.5" x 11.5". 80 pages. Black and white. Cover price $0.15.
