I have no idea how this vintage movie magazine came to be in my possession.

Picturegoer was a UK movie magazine which ran from 1911 to 1960, mostly as a weekly publication. It was sold at cinemas and regularly featured some of the biggest stars of the era. At its peak in the 1940s, it reached a circulation of 325,000.

This issue is from March 1941, and is currently the oldest item of movie memorabilia I have. I must admit, I needed to look up cover star Alice Faye, as I was unfamiliar with her.  She was a musical star for 20th Century Fox in the 30s and 40s. 

This cover is typical of the sepia tinted movie star portraits of the period and has a nice retro feel to it. This vintage magazine can be found for sale here.
