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.

WHEN Kay Francis appears in a new picture, every feminine heart has an excited flutter because it means a glittering parade of stunning clothes. Her new picture "The Keyhole" will prove no exception for OrryKelly has done a knockout job of designing a whole wardrobe of grand costumes. One is this evening gown, below. Kay wears it dining and dancing in the south. White crepe is made on slim lines with ruffles used for a deep flounce and a crisp edging for the neckline in front and back. Note how the pleated ruffles are run up the skirt to a point. Brass rings decorate the neckline in front and form shoulder straps with the fabric laced through. Kay wears two brass bracelets. I/ATHARINE HEPBURN may wear patched INtrousers on the lot but she wears glamorous clothes for her screen roles. This new star of such unique personality, wears her clothes with striking effect. In "Christopher Strong," she wears this gown designed by Howard Greer. Isn't it one of the loveliest you've seen with fabric daisies forming a cape and flounce on white mousseline de soie? Each daisy has a rhinestone center.' The cape may be removed when and if you wish. Katharine wears this in a highly romantic scene in the picture, at a party on the Riviera. There is one scene where she dances with the hem of her frock held up in one hand — and the daisies seem to fall from her arms down to the hem — it is a graceful gown. ~4
