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.

-Tm ^^ Sj€| ■ fSp^ ^^■§««aif • 1 ^ H %■ m Vfl Anchor Your Dream To Miss Buffington SEVERAL months ago Adele Buffington sat behind the glass window of a movie theatre in Los Angeles, taking in "plus war tax." Today she is sitting in a private office at tlie Incc studio, only instead of collecting amusement tax for Uncle Sam, she is figuring how much she owes the dunning relative under the classification of "income tax." In other words, Miss Buffington has finally materialized her dreams. She had long wanted to become a scenario writer and after she had submilted a scenario, Thomas Ince sent for her. He discovered that she had a host of good ideas about picture plot and construction and — well, soon you"rc going to see some of her pictures on the screen — unless you're too busy trying to write a scenario of your own.
