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.

Beginning with "What Happened to Mary" and "The Adventures of Kathlyn," and sweeping through long series of "happenings" and "adventures" and "perils" and "mysteries," the motion picture of the second decade of the century surrendered whole-heartedly to the box-office appeal of the super-thrilling serial story. 41 . Mary Fuller was the famous Mary of "What Happened to Mary," first of the famous movie serials. 43. Kathlyn Williams gave her name to the highly successful wild animal series, "The Adventuresof Kathlyn." 45. Miss White ap peared in " The Perils of Pauline," perhaps the best known of all the weekly shockers. 44. Pearl White was serial star of stars. 47. Shirley Mason, Viola Dana's kid sister, lent her glorious youthful beauty to "The Seven Deadly Sins." 46. In "The Romance of Elaine," Miss White was supported by Creighton Hale (standing) and Lionel Barrymore (the touseled gentleman at the desk). 49. AntonioMoreno, whose legs were quite as comely as Shirley Mason's, starred in "The Iron Test." 48. Helen Holmes specialized in locomotives. 46
