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.

Sables are in perfect taste for a "young lady"— Miss West adds them as final fillip to Helen Parrish's frock of rust angora woolen (above) that is trimmed with a hand-embroidered flower motif of cocoa brown and beige yarncolored beads glisten from the centers. The roll brim brown felt hat has grosgrain ribbon back detail. Helen's alligator bag and suede gloves match her frock. Mink fashioned in youthful style is entirely proper for a "young lady," too. Miss West makes Helen a wee flaring peplum jacket of this luscious fur and belts it with the beige twill fabric of the frock beneath. The spiral hat is also of mink Jones 52
