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.

The descending sun, in a last desperate fight against darkness, filled the skies with dazzling reds and golds and purples, forcing the scrub cedar, whose fragrance filled the freshening air, to cast swollen shadows on the high slopes. In a canyon above the stagecoach road, a canyon so hidden that only one who knew of its existence could find it, two riders halted their horses, dismounted and threw themselves gratefully onto the springy cedar needles, stretching to relieve muscles cramped by long hours in the saddle. They were unlike in every respect; one was long and lean and bronzed, his brown eyes which could in turn be as tender as a saint's or as .smiling and fearless as a devils hinting at the blood of Spanish conquistadors which ran in his veins. His eyes were laughing now as he watched the antics of his shorter companion. "What do you do, Gordito 7?ito?" he asked. "You are a baby, that you leap about to catch the lizard?"
