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.

This tag identities an original PHOTOPLAY Hollywood fashion. Look (or it Helen Parrish, appearing in Universale "Three Smart Girls Grow Up," models woolen University frocks that are fashion winners and budget triumphs. A zipper purse slung onto the belt lends trick and practical detail to Helen's green and brown plaid frock (top). The hat, from Helen's personal wardrobe, is brown felt. Helen dresses in the mood of a Scotch lassie (center) in an authentic Royal Stewart clan plaid with a matching over-the-shoulder bag, a typical Scotch cap of felt and grosgrain ribbon (Debway model). The belt of self-fabric has an inset of patent and this shining accent is repeated in the handle of the bag. The olive green frock (right) features a high waistline, a high, pointed neckline and a pocket motif and shoulder epaulets of self-fabric cording. With it Helen wears a brown suede hat with green suede crown and alligator bag and shoes selected from her personal wardrobe. All of these frocks have swing skirts and all are of pure woolen. Walter Wanger borrowed Helen from Universal to appear in "Winter Carnival"
