An Original Vintage Magazine (measures 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" [14 x 19 cm]) (Learn More) The Commentator, the general interest magazine (similar to Life Magazine, but digest sized) published in the 1930s (at least). The contributing editor was H.V. Kaltenborn, the editor was Lowell Thomas, and the advising editor was John B. Kennedy. The only issue we have ever auctioned is the October 1938 issue, which has a great artwork cover of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse by Stephen Grout, and it includes an interior story "What Has Disney Got That We Haven't?", and it says "Big shots in Hollywood are deeply concerned about one Mickey Mouse and the rest of the Disney menagerie", because Snow White had just come out to great success, and the other studios were all wondering why their cartoons weren't doing nearly as well as any of Disney's. The article is seven pages long, with four black and white illustrations of Mickey Mouse. Other articles include "Profit of Television" by Lowell Thomas, where Thomas quotes a man who says that "It may be a long time coming, but this new dimension in radio is bound to bring tremendous changes". If anyone knows more about this cool magazine, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
