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.

I ■■■' ""I""" *" " Bessie caught this fish all by herself. It isn't a "property" fish. Her studio had nothing to do with it, for who ever heard of a director permitting fish to hog the camera? Vacation! AFTER all, there is much in the life of a motion picture actress that isn't real. There are mock love affairs, mock weddings and even mock vacations. And perhaps that was why Bessie Love derived so much real pleasure out of her outing this summer. Hers was a REAL vacation. We'd hate to imagine what would have happened to any studio folk had they stumbled into camp. It was at CataliA Island where Bessie and her mother and father vacationed. And at five o'clock each morning Bessie was up — posing while Dad snapped pictures evidencing her prowess with the rod.
