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.

Outside, the sidewalks are jammed with fans and tourists, who stand by patiently until one or two o'clock of a morning to watch their favorites come and go through the shining door. It's the gay, the bright, the most talked-of spot on the whole West Coast. It's Ciro's where society — Montecito, Los Angeles, Flintridge, Pasadena and all points north and south — is huddled in small corner tables while Mickey Rooney, of the good old Yule family, is given a place of honor. It's Hollywood's own spot. It's democracy, paying a high tariff. It's Ciro's — and it's wonderful. Romance: Well, it looks more and more serious between Roz Russell and Freddy Brisson, for no sooner had Carl Brisson. Freddy's father, arrived in Hollywood from Europe than Freddy arranged for his dad to meet the lady of his heart. Roz, dressed in her favorite style of hat — sombrero — with a swing to the La Conga trend, arrived at Ciro's to meet Dad. He couldn't have been more pleased. "Freddy's taste is terrific," he some unvarnished gossip and lots of facts about lots of people in Hollywood MARCH, 1941
