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.

Vfh yinr Br Qf sA * co/n e Some of the characters I had cherished most in the writing were gone. They had to go. The two writers had selected brilliantly and had kept in the script what was in the book — the feeling that no matter what happened to the characters, India was always there in the background, bigger than any individual or any government. I was immediately and still am humbly grateful to Mr. Dunne and Mr. Josephson for what they had done. I thought, "So far so good." But there were so many other influences, so many other individuals who could still do vast damage. On the same afternoon that I arrived in Hollywood I insisted upon going on the set.
