Description
This map of “Hollywood Starland,” which advertised itself as a “moviegraph,” was sold to film-mad fans in the late 1930s. During the Depression, people went to the movies at a startlingly high rate, as the industry adapted to prevailing financial conditions by offering all kinds of cheap rates, sweepstakes, and giveaways. Fan magazines like Photoplay let fans into the lives of the stars, and a map like this one was designed to cater to the desire to know all about where the stars “live, work, and play.”
