Picturegoer — Week ending 15 November 1941
Laraine Day and Lew Ayres cover
A wartime Picturegoer dated 15 November 1941, pairing Laraine Day and Lew Ayres on a richly coloured cover. The issue combines Hollywood star culture with direct home-front material: its rear page is dominated by a Ministry of Food feature on food and fuel-saving cookery, surrounded by wartime consumer advertising, while the supplied interior spread presents Hedy Lamarr’s autobiographical ‘The Story of my Life’.
