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.

Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section WILLIAM TOXfmeaU d DoioREsMRiOjffl/ ViciorMeLagien ****** The devil was bored and he summoned his henchman. "Tour for me, " he said, "into one mold, the heart of a child, the body of a wanton and the soul of a woman. Let us see what will happen. " ****** The result was CARMEN. "Loves of Carmen," a screen adaptation based upon the celebrated novel and opera known to the world as "Carmen," has been pronounced one of the finest photoplays ever produced. Abounding in humor, it is a gripping story of a woman's passion, elemental, all-conquering, vividly set upon the screen and superbly mounted with authentic old world costumes and furnishings assembled in Spain by Fox representatives. Dolores Del Rio is the raven-haired, olive-skinned sinuous-limbed Carmen, the girl who barters her soul on the altar of love. She is the foil of the amorous wooing of the toreador Sscamillo, portrayed by Victor McLaglen, a bronzed giant with an infectious smile and devil-may-care spirit. In their respective roles, these two great stars surpass their brilliant performances in the renowned Fox Picture "What Price Glory." "Loves of Carmen" is another high-water mark in artistic achievement in motion pictures and is well worthy of its place alongside other recent Fox supreme achievements, such as "7th Heaven" and "What Price Glory." All leading theatres are presenting William Fox pictures this year. W\\\ WAKU?~/J 2asedmsbtubu PMBPERMERIMEE When you write to advertisers please mention PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE.
