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.

r T n. A baker's dozen of years ago, a new kind of romance came to the screen — the drama of brother love, with hardly a feminine ankle in the cast. Even as Valentino lay in state, this epic of sand and sun lent stature to such careers as Bill Powell's and Vic McLaglen's. Today, Paramount is giving us another "Beau Geste," complete with speech — and Ray Milland, Gary Cooper (also at far left), Robert Preston (below), Brian Donlevy (above) in the roles created by Ralph Forbes, Ronald Colman, Neil Hamilton and Noah Beery. The spirit of chivalry once more rides the Sahara!
