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.

I wouldn't be as ready to plunge into anything that came up. I would be inclined to spare myself. I wouldn't like the idea of leaving my wife for an unknown destination. "Ever since I was a boy working on the farm, and later when I worked my way through college, I have dreamed of going on a big adventure.
