The magazine lasted from 1902 until 1939 and each issue concentrated on a then current London West End Theatre production.

Heather Thatcher (left) went to Hollywood in 1937 and appeared in about 30 films, Leslie Henson was a comedian, theatre and film actor and film producer and director, Elsa MacFarlane appeared in one film in 1929 (The Co-Optimists).

At some point ‘The Play Pictorial’ began featuring cinema releases by incorporating ‘The Cinema Pictorial’, which, in this edition covered Charlie Chaplin’s ‘The Gold Rush’.
