Standard Casting Directories, the illustrated monthly casting directory featuring images and contact information for Hollywood actors and actresses. The actors are divided into categories like leading men, heavy men, feature comedians, etc. Most people get solely a line listing, while others get either a quarter page or a full page (and we assume the actors paid for those illustrated quarter or full pages!). In the 1920s and 1930s, these directories were FILLED with lots of full-page ads, as apparently many actors considered this a vital part of getting jobs. You rarely saw ads from major stars in their prime, but you often saw ads from major stars at the start of their career, or from later in their career, when they were trying to "hang on"!
Important Added Info: Note that we are currently offering twelve different volumes of this casting directory! All of these are ones that are quite scarce and contain ads for some notable stars and also for stars who were not yet stars! See our many interior images to see some of the most interesting stars who advertised, but note that it is certainly quite possible that we missed some really important stars, because these books are hundreds of pages long! Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads.

Condition: very good.
