Mae West: 1937 Player

It is a happy seventieth anniversary for the venerable Players Directory, whose first issue was printed in January 1937 and included MAE WEST and the hottest in Hollywood.
• • The Players Directory, the industry's oldest and best-known casting directory, up-graded their design. Their first issue was a 248-page publication listing 1,257 players, including names like Mae West, James Stewart, Gene Autry, Bette Davis, Mary Astor, and Gary Cooper. Must be quite a collectible — — these 1937 editions!
• • They say that their printed Directory continues to be a valuable tool in the casting process and the most recent printed issue includes thousands of listings, among them many of today's best-known actors. In July 1996, the Players Directory began to develop new ways for agents and casting directors to do their jobs, utilizing rapidly changing online technological tools.
