Magazine Movie Ads

I've come across a lot of ads for movies starring Miss Ginger Rogers in my time on the internet.  I've collected a lot of them here.  They are different from the movie posters, which is interesting... at least from my point of view.  I hope you enjoy looking at them.  All the images below are from the Media History Digital Library - http://mediahistoryproject.org/collections/


The posters below are in alphabetical order except for the first one, which is just to get you interested!

  1. Great movie ads! I always love to see the variation of an ad for the films. Whether it's that or posters.

    Really neat! :D

    1. I like the ads too. You can see which movies got a big build up and which ones didn't. I didn't realize how many there were before I started. If I had, I might not have tried to put them all together lol.

  2. Katharine Hepburn refuse the role in Mother Carey's Chickens and bought out her contract with RKO. Ginger was then going to play the role but was later replaced by Anne Shirley.

    1. Thanks for the inside info. Sounds like a rough time for that movie to keep changing leads. Ginger was pretty busy at the time and had plenty to do without this movie anyway.

  3. great stuff! amazing how much of that is still around... I have a few of the 'common' ones from eBay 'grab bag' clippings... The 'Chickens' movie reminds me I need to do another installment of 'Ginger movies that weren't'... well, after Roberta is finalized...it's getting there...yeah yeah...

    KIG, y'all!

  4. 'Ginger movies that weren't' sounds fab! I can't wait for that one. "The Film Daily" has lots of little blurbs about movies Ginger was slated to be in but history shows that they didn't happen... just in case you are looking for more material ;)

    I'm glad all this stuff is still around. I'm banking on the theory that stuff put on the internet never goes away. It haunts former teenagers with Facebook mistakes, but maybe it will keep Ginger's memory alive forever :)

  5. ...yeah, I want to do more research on all things Ginger...honestly, I just haven't found time lately... my daughter hit fifth grade this year, and evidently that's when they hit another 'level' regarding homework...so I spend most nights reviewing stuff with her... then putting my son to bed around 9, and by the time that's done...bam! 10 o'clock or later - as this reply indicates...so...

    Maybe the summertime will allow for more 'free Ginger' time for research stuff... want to 'load up' each of the 'filmblogs' as well...

    I just hope the Internet doesn't implode upon itself, as I've heard may happen one day... eh... probably just another Mayan prophecy...

    KIG, 'e'!

    1. 5th grade? Sounds like just the beginning of the huge homework days! Summertime might just be a better time for large, Ginger related projects and uploads. If you want any help doing research just say the word. I'm a mega-geek and one of my favorite things to do is to make lists. It's funny because IT'S TRUE, LOL! [and it's a little bit sad but true too ;)] So if you want me to look around in the old fan mags that are online for something, I'd be glad to do it. You never know what you're a-gonna find.

      KIG, Hu!
