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.

52 Photoplay Magazine v mf ^ ^ g i r r "The Marseillaise" formed the chief theme of the music played for the filming of "Joan" and "The Little American." tion, to create the right atmosphere for the emotional display to come. A story of this nature really calls for a lot of psychological patter and technical talk to say nothing of the analytical dope that could be injected by one who had more than a whistling acquaintance with Music. Lacking in all of these things, the writer is compelled to resort to facts, unembellished by any arpeggios, cadenzas or even allegrettos. Regarding it as his solemn duty as a historian to give the facts as they are, the writer will not attempt to gloss over any of the musical shortcomings of the screen stars — if Theda Bara is moved to tears by "Waiting for the Robert E. Lee" or Mary PickGladys Brockwell was just about to toss off this Hooverized cocktail, but they started playing "Traumerei" to which Gladys is so susceptible that she spurned the glass — when the director told her to.
