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.

Wally's sartorial perfection does not match his expression. When gentlemen drinking wine look like that, their evening clothes never look like that ! Isn t he the old scounder-ell ? He has told her that this is a bottle of Pommery Sec (hush — be more respectful!) when, really, it is mere cider. Tush! How obvious! One would fancy this to be a pathetic scene between husband and wife, or at least, brother and sister. Nothing of the kind. The lady is simply the agent of the Society for the Prevention of Death by Wood Alcohol. PAGE MR. VOLSTEAD! We admit we're stumped. What is Elliott Dexter trying to put across? Why the admonitory finger of the hypotenuse in this mysterious scene? But then they drink the Cursed Stuff in any old manner nowadays. 28 That's the way it is, these days. One hurries into a law office or the stockbrokers' and expects to hear bad news. Then there is a sly wink and — presto! — appears a tall black bottle— according to the movies.
