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.

I'd try to be one." Because Miss Whitney's marmoset has the well known lamb bleating for mercy when it comes to following her around. What is more, it is even allowed to kiss her as many times a day as it wants, which is not our idea of harsh treatment. The only thing against the marmoset is that her name is Ermyntrude, and that it is a sort of monkey. It is said of the marmoset that it never grows after it attains a certain length which is usually about one foot, divided 50-50, body and tail. This is considered very remarkable by some naturalists while others look upon it as very natural. Miss Whitney was presented with the pet while in Jamaica. But she could give no more information about the quasi-monkey then her press agent could find in the encyclopaedia. Then the interviewer quoted another famous poet: "I'd scorn strong drink and scoff at foods Could I intrude where Ertnyntrudes. " 5S
