Screenland was a monthly American magazine about movies, published between September 1920 and June 1971,[3] when it merged with Silver Screen. In the September 1952 issue, the name changed to Screenland plus TV-Land.
History
[edit | edit source]It was established in Los Angeles, California, with Myron Zobel as the editor in 1920 by Screenland Publishing Company.[4]
Frederick James Smith became the editor in 1923 when it moved to Cooperstown, New York. In 1923, the magazine reported a love affair between Evelyn Brent and Douglas Fairbanks, resulting in legal threats, and a retraction.[5]
In 1924, the magazine was taken over by Magazine Builders; Myron Zobel was the publisher and Frank Armer was the treasurer.[4] At that same time, Harry Donenfeld (through his Elmo Press formed in 1924) did the printing of the magazine.[6]
One magazine-collector site credits, without attribution, one Paul Hunter, "with rescuing Screenland magazine for John Cuneo back in 1932."[7]
In October 1952, Ned Pines' Standard Magazines,[a] an imprint of Pines Publications, purchased Silver Screen and Screenland from the Henry Publishing company.[8] Pines announced in June 1954 that he was suspending publication with the August 1954 issue, citing production and distribution costs.[9] The magazine continued publication through 1971, however.
