Auction History Result 8g117 SCREEN GUIDE magazine September 1939, sexy Joan Blondell in bathing suit on diving board! Date Sold 11/8/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Magazine (measures 10 3/4" x 13 3/4") (Learn More) Screen Guide, one of the many movie magazines sold to the public. Each issue features a great full color cover of a leading star of the day, plus lots of interior publicity stories about current stars and movies with many color and black and white images throughout. I have looked through many issues of this magazine, and it strikes me that this one was far more risque than the other magazines of this period, often containing stories of a naughty or sexual nature, and with more provocative images of female stars of the day! Also, in every issue are many wonderful vintage ads, some in color and some in black and white, and sometimes the ads can be just as much fun as the original stories and pictures. Of course, some of the ads are from movies that were about to open, and in the early days of eBay, people would remove those full-page ads and auction them by themselves, and they would often sell for $10, $20, or more, just for a single movie ad removed from a magazine just like this! Note that this magazine started off as "Screen Guide and Life" and at some point became "Screen Guide Photo-Parade" and then with the February 1938 issue, the magazine dropped the "Photo-Parade" from the title and simply became "Screen Guide". Then, beginning with the September 1948 issue, the magazine's title changed to "Screen and Television Guide", because of the increasing popularity of TV, but that only lasted a while and then the title reverted back to "Screen Guide".
