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.

"I was strong for Bitzer then as now. and also was strong for Marvin, but I could not refrain from asking Marvin why thought Bitzer could not have done the scene as well as he.
