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.

You see country roads and city mansions ; Chinese streets and court -rooms. These pictures give you a glimpse into the difficult business of making the whole world move before your wondering eyes. Against a Hollywood hill, this Mexican ranchbouse was erected, and it. and the specially constructed cactus, gave perfect satisfaction — just as real as life. If you walked around back of the house you would see a skeleton of a dwelling. But the camera shot it only from this angle, so it was all right. The sun was good this particular day, yet note the reflectors at the left to intensify light on the actors When you look at this, you aren't to be blamed for thinking a studio life is the life for you.
