Catalogue note
Original British Picturegoer Weekly No. 331 (New Series), Vol. 7, dated 25 September 1937, with Virginia Bruce on the colour cover beneath the headline “How to attract men”. The supplied interior feature, “The Women Gentlemen Prefer”, presents Bruce’s advice on the qualities men supposedly seek in women, illustrated with contemporary film stills from Women of Glamour and Between Two Women. The issue is a particularly revealing document of how Hollywood celebrity, romance advice, domestic ideals and gender expectations were packaged for British mass readership in the late 1930s.
