Description:
Hollywood Studio Magazine was published out of the San Fernando Valley in various iterations (and various titles) from 1966 until 1992. What started as a local organ aimed at the workers of Hollywood ended as a nostalgic fan magazine about Hollywood Then and Now. The various title changes and revisions to its mission reflect not just the economic realities of magazine publishing, but a changing relationship to Hollywood and the industry itself. The earliest issues of Studio Magazine read like a house organ of a steady, entrenched industry documenting the comings and goings and notable events of the San Fernando Valley, with special emphasis on Universal. Fandom first became part of the discourse of the magazine through collecting. The Collectors’ Column page beginning in the early 1970s allowed memorabilia collectors to advertise their wares to each other. In 1983, the founder of the magazine, Dorothy Denny gave over the reins to Ralph Benner, the founder of Tiger Beat. This marks the clear separation between the original publication and its focus on Hollywood production culture and the move toward a publication centered on star narratives and fan culture. In covering the two and a half decades from the collapse of the system to the point where classical movie stars were phantoms instead of living people, the magazine offers insight into the transformation of old Hollywood from a lived reality to a memory to a myth.

Among the 135 stars on hand will be Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, Cinderella, Dumbo, Peter Pan and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. During its 27-week first season, the show will travel to major indoor arenas, most with seating capacities of 5,000 or more. Walt Disney Productions will produce “Disney on Parade” under the personal supervision of Robert F. Jani, Disneyland’s director of entertainment, who is responsible for staging the famous spectaculars and special events in the “Magic Kingdom.” In completing the announcement, Adler said: “The name of Walt Disney has always been synonymous with wholesome family entertainment. Now by means of the NBC-Disney arena show, we will be able to bring to life the characters that embody the Disney magic and present them to the public in a most imaginative and captivating manner.” WALT DISNEY’S “PETER PAN” TO DELIGHT YOUNG AND OLD AGAIN One of Walt Disney’s all-time classic cartoon features, “Peter Pan,” which captures the bright landscape of fantasy and the atmosphere of eternal youth, returns this summer to delight moviegoers of all ages.
