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.

The tears in her eyes were happy tears but now her look grew very serious and introspective. “No,” she said, “you can't bring people happiness. I want all my pictures to be entertainment and I’ll never talk about art or doing anything ‘different’ and ‘serious.’ I hope my pictures can make people forget their troubles and start dreaming wonderfully.
