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.

' What Mr. John D. Rockefeller, the friends of the late Russell Sage, Mr. Carnegie, and the bounders who have been founders, will have to sav remains locked in the secret now, of the photoplay's success or failure.
