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.

Since then, she has done the million and one thoughtful things for me that only a mother would think of. Her regular phone calls at six o'clock each evening are the bright spot of my day. On many occasions, we have discussed the perplexities that have been brought to her by young girls either in person or by letter. The tact and wisdom with which she has handled these problems impressed me so that I asked her if I might record some of her advice for the readers of Photoplay-Movie Mirror. She graciously agreed. On this particular day as we sat talking. Ma industriously crocheted a white shawl for the heir of Cecilia Parker (Marian, her screen daughter). I knew Ma had been Cissy's adviser through her exciting romance and subsequent happy marriage to Dick Baldwin, so I asked her what advice she had given Cissy.
