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.

His Star With customary partiality to the art before him, Griffith forgot that his actress was Lady Diana Manners, the celebrated English beauty. She was, for the moment, so much "material"— to be moulded into a Griffith actress. GRIFFITH is the greatest man in pictures, because he lets everybody else do everything they can, and then goes them one better. "Masks and Faces" was produced in England, and it had almost all the stage and screen notables of Great Britain in the cast. What does Griffith do? The most beautiful women of the exclusive court circles act in his picture, "The Great Love." This is the picture recently referred to in Photoplay, in which Griffith will show the regeneration of British society through its war activities.
