Description:
The leading Hollywood fan magazine of the 1920s and 1930s. Photoplay offered readers portraits of their favorite movie stars and stories about their personal lives. The magazine played an important promotional function for the Hollywood industry, but its editors and reviewers could also be highly critical of Hollywood. Beginning in 1921, Photoplay bestowed its annual 'Medal of Honor' for the film readers voted as the best of the year. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011.

NO. i West Seventieth Street, New York City, is the permanent home of Mrs. Lou-Tellegen, better known to the general world as Geraldine Farrar, better known to the cinema world as Carmen and Joan the Woman, and best known to her intimates as Jerry. There are two things that this home is notable for — comfort and simplicity. However exotic Miss Farrar may be in her art, she loathes over-decoration at home. The outer rooms — those which the visitor sees — are impressive and formal. But there are flowers, flowers everywhere, lending just the right note to the scheme, and adding an hospitable air. For Farrar loves flowers; and her friends know this, and keep her surrounded with the loveliest blossoms. Then, in her boudoir, is the informal note; the restful, quiet atmosphere that aids Jerry's imagination, that soothes even while it stimulates her for her appearances on the stage of the Metropolitan. These intimate views will give her public a new vision of Farrar — not Farrar the singer, nor Farrar the actress — but Jerry, the woman. "I am in her boudoir fair." It is done in French gray and the hangings are old blue and pale rose. 25
