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.

One of the gifted few who are making America the source of fashion for years to come, she says: "I'm working hard these days— everybody is! And I know it's no time for nerves; so I'm smoking Camels. They're milder . . . and so good-tasting!" • Mabel Downs designs only dinner, evening, and wedding clothes . . . forecasts a return to the simple, the unadorned. At right, her off-the-shoulder interpretation of the stark black motif — tiny waist, fullskirted flattery.
