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.

BETTY COMPSON WHO is this? Bebe Daniels? No — but we don't blame you for thinking so. It is Betty Compson. who here presents another portrait to be added to her gallery of them. It illustrates the fact that her "'still" camera personality is never the same as her moving picture camera self, and these two are also different from the real Betty. She shares this versatility with most of the other stars. You may wonder why PHOTOPLAY'S covers do not always resemble your preconceptions of the subjects. You'll have to ask Old Man Camera
