"The Green Book Album, later titled The Green Book Magazine, was a magazine published from 1909 to 1921. It was published by the Story-Press Corporation (later Consolidated Magazines) as a companion to its Red Book and Blue Book magazines. For most of its run, the magazine primarily covered theatre, but converted to a women's magazine for its last few years before ceasing publication in 1921." (Wikipedia)
Articles on theatre, actors, related stories, novelizations of current plays and more, printed on cheap newsprint with a few pages on glossy paper. Most of the glossy pages are in the front with portraits and scenes from the stage or of the actors off stage.
