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.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were mere forerunners of this quiet little California bungalow, which will have tulips in front of it. and radishes behind it, though the lot is appraised at more than $900,000. The location is atop the twenty-story '* Film Building,11 a great new skyscraper devoted to the Motion Picture industry, at Broadway and Forty-Eighth street. New York City. Earl Carroll, twenty-three-year-old author of Oliver Morocco's musical comedy successes, "So Long Letty," and "Canary Cottage,'* has leased the flat roof of this building for seven vears, and is now building himself a home, thereon. This heavenly yard will have grass, flowers and a vegetable garden, from which an elevator will lead directly to the axis of the Great White Way. The drawings are from a photograph of Mr. Carroll, and from the detailed plans of his architects. 137
