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.

Pictures worth prizing — a colorful collection Collectors' Items No. 2 CALL IT A DAY To casual observers, Doris Day doesn't look like the type who would be a big box office star. She doesn't feel like one, either. For Doris isn't acting when she's on screen — she's being herself. And even the most cynical moviegoer reacts to her warm friendliness. Old friends gasp when they see her son Terry — he's a small male version of the sunny, freckle-faced kid they remember so well. Maybe that's why Marty went overboard for Terry the way he did for Doris. Take it from Mr. Melcher, they're irresistible! Even the patio roof isn't allowed to keep the sun out Doris tunes up for one of the family jam sessions An apple every day keeps the Day figure that way Globe Photo 50
