That's Carole Lombard on the cover of the Nov. 30, 1934 issue of the British magazine Film Weekly. She was as popular a fixture on UK magazine covers as she was stateside. Now, what may have been her first cover appearance for that British publication is available at eBay. It's from Aug. 5, 1932...
...with a promotional shot from "Sinners In The Sun."
Don't know if there's any Lombard material inside, but there is a nice piece on Jean Harlow...
...the latest film news, including word of a planned (but never produced) talkie remake of "The Hunchback Of Notre Dame" with Boris Karloff in the title role...
...and a portrait of Wendy Barrie:
