For many years Seein' Stars by Feg Murray was one of the prettiest things in the Sunday newspaper. It certainly was one of the most interesting non-story features. If I were a movie collector, I'd want one or several of these on my walls. Thankfully, they haven't yet been turned into collector's items, tempting dealers to cut out and frame them. There also was a daily version, of which have several asl well, not only from NewspaperArchive, but also from an issue of Captain George's Whiz-Bang magazine.
I'd love to see someone doing a wegbsite collecting all of them. Which is quite a lot, as this feature ran for over fifteen years from the thirties into the fifties - covering, y the way some of the best years of Hollywood movie making and the start of the television business.
