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 young man watched the bride with a slight smile and from time to time she looked his way and winked at him. I Suddenly an older man walked up to the teenager and said, “Hi, I’m Joe Crowley from the ‘Los Angeles Mirror.’ You’re the only person in the room who looks worried.
