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.

Jack Garfein in Sweden with his “ mother” before America — and before success. Seventeen years ago a Czech boy, his entire family wiped out by the Nazis, was rescued from a concentration camp and was brought to Sweden. There, a merciful angel called Sister Hedvig took the broken lad into her home and restored him to health. She was a second mother to him and he like a son to her. When relatives were finally located in America and sent for him, Jack Garfein went — but in tears at parting from his kind, loving “mother.” America was good to Jack. He became a successful movie director, married a lovely star, Carroll Baker. They made a picture together, “Something Wild.” And it was for the showing of this picture — in Sweden — that the Garfeins came back to Jack’s foster country and its memories — especially of the good “mother” with whom he had lost touch during the years. At a press conference, Jack told reporters that he had searched in vain for her — and could they help him? They did! They found her in Malmo under her new name — she had married and was now Mrs. Hedvig Ekberg. Jack flew to her, and as they fell into each other’s arms, even the photographers and reporters wept openly at their reunion. u 26
