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.

Rosalind Byrne, the chorine of today, only gets a lamb chop, a pineapple and a calory chart > Miss 1927 (Doris Hill) romps in the gym. Miss 1902 (Ann Sheridan) considered ping pong hectic sport "There's no kick to that," says Rosalind Byrne of Ann Sheridan's Floradora step. Twentyfive years ago it brought blushes to the bald-headed row. Today it would bring snores. And that billowy, trailing skirt! 106
