Monsieur Beaucaire Picture Show

This is a Picture Show Magazine from the U.K. depicting Valentino and Bebe Daniels on the cover from the 1924 film, Monsieur Beaucaire. Valentino often graced the cover of this magazine. Just as in today's world, top stars on the cover attracts readers and fans to pick up the magazine, read it and buy it. Valentino was no exception, he was featured on thousands of magazine covers over the years. Picture Show magazines with Valentino on the cover, tend to be more desirable than most other Valentino magazines, with the exception of color covers such as Motion Picture or Screenland just to name a few. This is another great example of an original magazine from the 20's featuring Valentino.

Son of the Sheik Picture Show

This is a Picture Show Magazine from November of 1926. It depicts Valentino and Vilma Banky on the cover from the film, "The Son of the Sheik." These are fantastic magazines from the UK. Valentino appeared on the cover of these magazines many times. This particular one advertises a 16 page Art Souvenir from The Son of the Sheik. These are wonderful magazines and are fairly desirable.

The Son of the Sheik Picture Show Magazine

This is a Picture Show Magazine from July of 1926, about a month prior to his death. Picture Show was published in the UK and depicted Valentino on the cover numerous times. This one depicts Valentino and Vilma Banky from The Son of the Sheik. These are not too expensive to obtain; but, fairly desirable to collectors.

1923 Rudolph Valentino Picture Show

This is a Picture Show Magazine from 1923. This was a magazine / newspaper from the U.K. This particular issue features Valentino from three of his films: Blood and Sand, The Moran of the Lady Letty and The Young Rajah. The cover states the following: What is wrong with some pictures, a candid criticism by Rudolph Valentino. This was during the time Valentino walked out of his contract with Famous Players Lasky after The Young Rajah. He and Natacha talked a great deal about "artistic integrity" in his films. This would be a great issue to have to read Valentino's side of the story. There are many Picture Show's with Valentino featured on the cover; however, these tend to be difficult to find.

1925 Picture Show Magazine

This is a Picture Show magazine from 1925, depicting Valentino on the cover. This is one of the photos from the many Henry Waxman photo shoots. These Picture Show magazines always seem to be sought after by collectors. He appeared on the cover of this magazine numerous times. This is not a rare or colorful magazine, but again highly sought after. I currently do not have any of these in my collection.

1922 Picture Show Magazine

This is a Picture Show Magazine from 1922. It features Valentino on the cover from the film, "Blood and Sand." These black and white magazines are not too difficult to find, but still very collectible.

Picture Show Annual

This is a hardback Picture Show Annual book from 1926. These came out at the end of the year as a year in review as many magazines do today. 1926 was the year Valentino died, but instead of depicting his current and last film, The Son of the Sheik, they chose a film from 1924, The Sainted Devil for the cover. I have read that many people did not see films with people who passed away, thus these films where not overly marketed; however, I am unsure why this film was chosen. Moderately difficult to find, these are not common, but not extremely rare, still sought after though.
