    Description

    STARTING IN THE 1920'S THE MOTION PICTURE WEEKLY TITLED: PICTURE SHOW WAS PUBLISHED IN THE UK AND FEATURED MOSTLY US AND BRITISH FILMS. PART OF THE ISSUES INCLUDED A SECTION TITLED THE PICTURE SHOW ART SUPPLEMENT WHICH INCLUDED MOVIE SCENE PHOTOS FROM TWO,THREE OR MORE MOVIES IN EITHER BLUE, BROWN OR GREEN SEPIA.
    THIS IS A FOUR PAGE SUPPLEMENT DATED APRIL 4, 1931. THIS ISSUE CONTAINS 3 PAGES INCLUDING A CENTERFOLD FOR "A GLIMPSE OF "CITY LIGHTS"... CHARLIE CHAPLIN'S LATEST AND GREATEST SUCCESS" FROM UNITED ARTISTS.THIS AMAZING ISSUE WAS PUBLISHED ONLY FOUR WEEKS AFTER IT'S FEBRUARY 27 LONDON PREMIER AND NINE WEEKS AFTER ITS WORLD PREMIER IN NEW YORK ON JANUARY 30, 1931
    DURING THE 1930S AND FOR QUITE A WHILE AFTER,MOST US PRODUCED MOVIES OFTEN TOOK MANY MONTHS TO PREMIER IN THE UK. THUS EXPLAINING THE SLIGHTLY LATER DATES OF THESE "PRE-CODE" ISSUES COMPARED TO THE EARLIER US RELEASE DATES.
    CHAPLIN HIMSELF CONSIDERED THIS HIS GREATEST FILM AND IT CONTINUES TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR ITS CINEMATIC EXCELLENCE. DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT PREMIERED 4 YEARS AFTER THE ADVENT OF "TALKIES", THIS FILM WAS A BIG FINANCIAL SUCCESS. AS I WAS WRITING THIS LISTING, AND CHANGING TV CHANNELS I NOTICED CITY LIGHTS WAS JUST COMING ON TCM... A HAPPY UNIVERSE PRESENT. WHAT A JOY!!!   A RARE ITEM FOR THE CINEPHILE.
    I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO COMBINE ITEMS  FOR SHIPPING SAVINGS. I WILL BE SELLING A NUMBER OF THESE ALL ORIGINAL  PICTURE SHOW SUPPLEMENTS FROM THE EARLY 1930S.
