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.

Beginning in 1921, Photoplay bestowed its annual 'Medal of Honor' for the film readers voted as the best of the year. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011.

A career he had never dreamed of as a bespectacled little boy in the country town of Indiana, Pa., where his big, rangy, soft-spoken father ran the hardware store and brought home tools to the house on Vinegar Hill for his son to use in his hobby of building model airplanes.
