The Hollywood Reporter

October 1, 1932

An original newspaper in very nice condition.

Most of the 1930s to 1950s issues of The Hollywood Reporter on are from the estate of a newspaper stand guy in the LA area that was sold about 10 years ago. It was a daily newspaper excepting Sundays and meant for a very local market. I bought 8000 or so, which I am mainly too lazy to list, including 3 copies of this issue, which may have been all of them in the estate: 2 poor copies which I sold years ago, and this very nice issue.

Google Image searches for similar images show only those old sales, saved by worthopedia for this historically interesting advertisement.

Italian filmographer Marco Giusti uses one of these images nicely in his historical article, actually they are central to his theme: "Topolino in camicia nera: il mistero dell'incontro tra Walt Disney e Mussolini" which is the about the mystery of a Disney Mussolini meeting of 1935.
