The surviving interior spread captures the magazine’s mixture of Hollywood gossip, studio speculation and star photography, including contemporary discussion of Greta Garbo and Carole Lombard. The rear Player’s Navy Cut advertisement also preserves the commercial visual culture surrounding mass-market British film fandom in the late 1930s.
