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.

Wedding Bells/ WELL, it's happening at last and Dame Rumor is quiet, for once ! By the time you read this Charlie Farrell and Virginia Yalli will be married, unless all plans go agley. For years, you know, Charlie and Virginia have been friends. Not long ago Virginia went to New York with her pal, Colleen Moore. She returned earlier than she had planned and the papers announced that she was homesick for Hollywood. The truth is that she and Charlie arranged the details for their wedding over long distance telephone one night and Virginia took the next train home. As this is being written, they plan to marry just as soon as Charlie finishes his picture, "The Man Who Came Back." That will be sometime in the middle of November. It will be a quiet wedding. Besides, Charlie begins another film almost immediately. Charles Farrell They hope to get away for a few days' honeymoon. Julanne Johnston will be Virginia's attendant and if Colleen Moore returns from the East in time she will serve, too. The three girls are inseparable chums. Virginia has been married once before, to a non-professional, but this is Charlie's first march to the altar. Rumors of the wedding have been flying thick and fast and although Charlie laughed them off he never failed to add, "But believe me, Virginia is the sweetest girl in the world." Their courtship has been a beautiful romance. Even the role that Janet Gaynor played in Charlie's life has never stopped him from loving and admiring Virginia, and Virginia has been ever his loyal comrade. Glamorous, beautiful Virginia Yalli. Smart, sophisticated, charming. Lucky boy — that Charlie Farrell. Photoplay wishes them both the joy they deserve! 31
