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.

She has crying spells on the set, and doesn't seem to be feeling well. We're afraid this has sent her into a tailspin mentally and physically, that will be very hard to pull out of. ’ ' RUMOR: Acquaintances say, "Doris has been moping because son Terry went to school in the east. She didn't want it, but Marty and Terry overruled. Now she worries constantly about him, to such an extent that it has become an obsession, and it's affecting her home life very badly."
