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.

The multi-colored striped wool sweater lends startling contrast and Miss Rich's necklace of gold keys, designed by John-Frederics, is great fun. The large, toast-colored hat (insert, top) is rough Tuscan straw. Miss Rich also wears this John-Frederics hat atop a black hand-crocheted yarn snood to dramatize her street frocks. Spring's perennial favorite, navy and white, is also one of Miss Rich's preferred color combinations. Here she wears a pure silk navy and white print dress and coat ensemble (below, right) from Saks Fifth Avenue, Beverly Hills. The print-lined coat with print sleeves is of navy sheer woolen. The frock beneath features short, puffed sleeves, a deep V-neckline and shirred ruffle yoke detail. The John-Frederics high-crown sailor is white braided organdie and cellophane. The huge white pigskin bag also comes from John-Frederics. For summer evenings, Miss Rich selects the silk evening gown (below, left) printed in varied shades of chartreuse, yellow and pink. Designed along simple lines, it is gathered at the neckline with jeweled clips. Miss Rich's wrap is of luxurious silver fox. Warner Brothers' ""The Right of Way" is Miss Rich's latest film Bachrach 55
