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.

I always preferred to be with a blonde." The moment the words were out, John was sorry he had said them. “Well ... er ...” he stumbled on, “what I mean, Darling, is that, you know, gentlemen are supposed to prefer blondes ... but they marry brunettes . . . er, well, except me, I married a beautiful redhead, I married you . . .
