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.

PiioTOPLAV Mv(.\/im: Admhiisinc. Sic IK in lu. "The pretties, the dainties, the flimsies' How did women ever l:eep their fine things dainty before they learned of Lux ? In those old days — when cake soap was rubbed right on to fine fabrics, and particles of soap became f:rmly wedged between the delicate threads ! Today, you can cleanse these things yourself — keep them new with Lux. Lux comes in delicate white flakes — pure and transparent. They melt the instant they touch hot water and whisk up into the richest, foamiest suds that gently free the dirt ! For silks or colored fabrics you simply add cold water to rnakc the suds lukewarm. No ruinous rubbing of cake soap on fine fabrics. You just squeeze the delicate suds through the garments again and again. Then rinse in three lukewarm waters. Launder your loveliest things in bubblin-j Lux suds. You will say you never dreamed your finest, frailest things could be cleansed with such delicacy !
