Important Added Info: Note that in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the top English movie magazines started including "supplements" in the center of the magazine (sometimes they were bound in, and sometimes they were loose). These were like the Sunday newspaper "rotogravure" sections, and were all sepia and had great images from then-current movies. Note that this was removed from the October 24, 1931 issue of Picture Show magazine. There is printing on the reverse side of the page, but the primary interest is the cool ad for Alfred Hitchcock's "The Skin Game". Condition: good to very good. The page was removed from a magazine (see above). Learn More about condition grades
