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.

'"Why yes." assented "Dot" Bernard, "you may run along and have your fun, kiddie. Certainly." "Thankyoumotherdear '." And there was a flash of small petticoats disappearing. The whimsical look that entrances Dorothy Bernard's face touched her fine features. "I always have my baby with me." said. "I gues-, I'm an old-fashioned mother.
