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.

DTOGRAPHS H Y M A N FINK CAL has a soft spot in his heart as big as a watermelon when it comes to romance, so you can imagine our condition (at our time of life, too) when this story of our modern Dante and Beatrice — we mean, of course, Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier — reached our ears. The pair was performing nightly in "Romeo and Juliet" up San Francisco way, when Hollywood discovered it needed Olivier for one or two retakes on "Pride and Prejudice" and hastily communicated the fact to Mr. Olivier. "Very well," he agreed, "I'll fly down on a Sunday, but only if you'll pay the flying expenses of Miss Leigh as well." Studio officials were stumped. "But Miss Leigh isn't in the picture," they phoned back, thinking to themselves that much balcony-climbing hath driven Romeo slightly batty. Alas, poor Romeo knew it only too well, but the ultimatum still stood. He would not be separated from his beloved for the space of even GOSSIP OF HOLLYWOOD 57
