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.

A New PortraitStudy of Marie Doro, An Ingenue of all Nations WE started to write an impression, but gave it up because, after a fair wind of fancy and a propitious start, we couldn't decide on the next thing to say. In reality, Miss Doro comes from the Middle West. But when a young woman in her twenties has to reflect whether English or French is her native language, plays Chopin like a Pole, makes tea like a Russian, knows all the best people in Bombay, reads d'Annunzio in the original and is the favorite house-guest of half the British nobility what hope is there of pinning her to any particular page of your Rand-McNally? In our opinion Count de Strelecki mistook her for a temple-belle from the lower Ganges. Marie Doro, posed especially for PHOTOPLAY by Count John de Strelecki, New York City. Here are the ladies of "Heart's Desire"' — a scene from Miss Doro's favorite and most recent photoplay. The milk business is something like the film business. There must be producers and distributors. Here you have the combination: producer, Mrs. Holstein Bovine; distributor. Miss Marie Doro. The distributor carries the milk in her large, left-side pocket. The heavy rope that you observe between them is to keep Miss Doro from running away. 77
