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.

In that interview, Mr. Sanders pulled no punches in voicing his opinion ot women. He said, among other things "I believe it will be a sorry day for woman if she ever becomes our equal . No woman has ever touched the best man Personally, I doubt that one ever will . I like women who flatter me . . . I like women to be coy, flirtatious, timid . . emphatically believe that woman's place is in the home — and nowhere else." From the day we went on sale, our mail bags began to groan with protests demanding vindication of the feminine sex after the brash comments of Mr. Sanders. So Photoplay-Movie Mirror sent a reporter to the woman in Hollywood most eminently fitted to shoulder arms for her fellow sisters. Rosalind Russell, champion of careers and career girls, read the disturbing document with a glint in her eye and an amused twist of her mouth as she relaxed on the set of her current picture, "My Sister Eileen.' "I won't argue with Mr. Sanders," she told Photoplay-Movie Mirror. "But there certainly is another side to this question.
