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.

Iced and decorated, they looked as if they’d melt in your mouth. “You’ve outdone yourself, Mom,” said Doris. “Mrs. Day . . . . . . wouldn’t even let Doris carry them to the car. “Let’s put them in the trunk,” she said, “where they’ll be safe.” A few weeks later, Doris, driving across the hills . . . . . . from The Valley, became aware her car had developed a rattle. She turned into a garage. The mechanic, charmed by Doris, gave the car the checking of its life.
