Photoplay Magazine June 1935 featuring Irene Dunne Cover and Clark Gable

$20.00

Offering: Photoplay Magazine. The June, 1935 issue. NYC: Macfadden Publications.

Good only. This copy shows spine wear and chipping, particularly at the lower edge (see final photo), and note back cover (along the lower right corner and spine edge), including minor chipping and a small tear at the bottom margin. A faint blue transfer or discoloration is visible along the top and outer edges—likely from storage or contact with adjacent material over time. Still the magazine remains complete and vibrant—an authentic time capsule of Depression-era celebrity culture.

Description

By 1935, Photoplay was at the height of its influence, offering fans a glamorous, insider look at the world of Hollywood’s biggest stars. This issue arrives just as the Great Depression lingered and the Production Code began tightening its grip—yet Photoplay still thrived with lush photography, splashy cover art, and stories that oscillated between worship and exposé. Irene Dunne, fresh off hits like The Age of Innocence and Roberta, graces the painted cover in a crimson ensemble, her image nestled against a headline promising tabloid-worthy truth: “The Tragedy of Being a Hollywood Mother.”

Inside, readers are treated to features on Hollywood motherhood (with Frances Dee, Joan Bennett, and others), a moody two-page spread promoting Clark Gable and Loretta Young in Call of the Wild, and a full-page salute to James Cagney’s transformation from gangster to G-man. Also notable: early spreads on Claire Trevor and choreographer Margaret Wallman, vintage ads for Chesterfield cigarettes and Catalina “Baby Pants” swimsuits, and classic studio portraiture throughout.

A standout issue for vintage movie magazine collectors—especially those drawn to 1930s cinema, Irene Dunne memorabilia, or classic Hollywood’s golden press.
