Anything to save a buck: A directive came down from the studio heads advising that the publicity department should cut back on the use of guns to keep in line with new censorship rules. A creative soul came up with the idea of disappearing the gun in this lobby card for Mother's Millions (1931) starring May Robson.
Note that the gun was "blued-out". That does leave one to wonder why May and son are so afraid of the guy pointing a finger at them.
One of my favorite ads, the back cover of the May, 1932 issue of Modern Screen.
Just love this autograph. Actor John Conte goes to the trouble of signing with such care. You can read it, he included the fan's name, and even dated it!
Actress Gale Storm keeps it brief, but such a nice greeting it is.
