An Original Vintage Magazine (measures 5 1/4" x 7 3/4" [13 x 20 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More)

West Coast Theatres Newsette, the 8-page digest size magazine that was given out by many west coast theaters in the 1920s and 1930s. Each issue had illustrated articles about then current movies and the current programs for some prominent west coast theaters. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
Important Added Info: Note that this really cool digest "newsette" magazine is vol 1 no 28 published on February 11, 1928. What is really cool about it is that it has an illustrated article about the Four Marx Bros. appearing on stage in San Francisco. It has a great picture of all four Marx Bros. on the cover, and it says that "Imagine... for the price of admission, you will see this quartette with their nutty coconut humor, which only a week or so ago would have cost you $3.50 a seat!" It also has two small articles on the back, one of which talks about a movie on the bill with the Marx Bros. when they appear, and the other talks about "how Four Marx Bros. acquired their nicknames", and it gives a slightly different explanation, including that "Chico" got his name because "of his fondness for poultry", while "Zeppo" was "named for a freak in a circus which visited a farm when they were boys". We have never auctioned this before!

Note that we have provided a picture of the front cover of the magazine, and pictures of interior two-page spreads (including the table of contents page if there is one; but we didn't make much effort to find the best ones!). These images should greatly help you judge the overall condition of the magazine, and the contents page lets you know exactly what articles and stories are contained in this particular issue. Please know that these magazines are sealed in bags and are ready for shipping, and we cannot answer any questions about them or look through them for you, so please bid (or do not bid) based on the images we have provided.

Condition: very good to fine. Note that we have attempted to check to see if the magazine is complete and uncut, and we believe that it is. However, there is a slight possibility that we might have missed a small cut or a page that was neatly removed, and if that happens, you can return the magazine. We have solely provided an overall description of the condition of the magazine, but you can also refer to our super-sized images. Please bid (or not bid) based on that overall grade and by viewing the super-sized images.
