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.

122 Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section The Greatest Mother in eWorld Stretching forth her hands to all in need; to Jew or Gentile, black or white; know' ing no favorite, yet favoring all. 'Ready and eager to comfort at a time "when comfort is most needed. Helping the little home that's crushed beneath an iron hand by showing mercy in a healthy, hu' man way; rebuilding it, in fact, with stone on stone; replenishing empty bins and empty cupboards; bringing warmth to hearts and hearths too long neglected. p Seeing all things with a mother's I sixth sense that's blind to jeal' ousy and meanness; seeing men i >-J in their true light, as naughty children — snatching, biting, bitter — but with a hid' den side that's quickest touched by mercy. Reaching out her hands across the sea to No Mans Land; to cheer with warmer comforts thousands who must stand and wait in stenched and crawling holes and water'soaked entrenchments where cold and wet bite deeper, so they write, than Boche steel or lead. She's warming thousands, feeding thousands, healing thousands from her i ■ store; the Greatest Mother in the r i World— the RED CROSS.
