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.

However, this is one of the times when I do. Because when .Anita Stewart walked slowly down the broad staircase into her French gill and pink satin drawing room, her round slendemess molded in a severe gown of black velvet and her curls bunched against her neck like Tokay grapes, I began immediately and in the strangest fashion to think about Man. Stuart. And though our talk rambled from dogs to ser\ants and from pictures to husbands, I continued to think of that enchanting queen whose charms cost her her head a few hundred years ago.
