A Vintage Softcover Book (measures 7 3/4" x 10 3/4" [20 x 27 cm]; 64 pages) (Learn More) 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 there is something fascinating about this particular casting directory! It has a label on the top of the cover that reads "Irvine Thalberg"! We would have to think that this is surely a typo for Irving Thalberg, who would later become the head of MGM, but at this time was a producer for Universal Pictures! Note that we are currently offering ten 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 many of these books are hundreds of pages long! Also note that we have pictured the front cover and an interior 2-page spread. Condition: good to very good. There are many stains and smudges on the covers, but otherwise, the directory is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
