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.

Loretta glanced briefly at the six other waiting women and their spouses and said convincingly, “It was flown over to me from Paris.” She smiled as we crowded closer to scrutinize the wonderful white and black chapeau. Suddenly a contrite expression chased the complacency from Loretta’s lovely face. “I didn’t get it in Paris,” she confessed in a small voice. “It’s a copy — made in Hollywood. I mustn’t fib any more about my clothes.” Don’t feel so conscience-stricken, Loretta. We all have our vanity weakness. Yours happens to be fashion, and your reputation as Hollywood’s best-dressed star.
