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.

It's a flounced, full-skirted frock of white organdie, printed in tiny quaint floral bouquet:, of pink and green. Narrow black velvet ribbons hold the ruffled drop-shoulder decolletage and mark the front of the bodice. Marjories gown was designed by Patricia Perkins, Los Angeles.
