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.

Separations, broken homes, divorces, journeys to foreign lands, emotional upsets and tumult are indicated by the stars. This is a time of change and upheaval. Gone are the days of lavish display and fabulous salaries. The year 1943 will bring about a great leveling of all the world's peoples. It will bring to mankind the equality of a common burden. Each of us will be forced to share and share alike in sacrifice, service and almost primitive living conditions. The fight for existence will be paramount, not the fight for sables, caviar, dated wines and self-aggrandizement. The strong will survive. The weak will break. Many of Hollywood's stars have proved their willingness to give freely of their time and money. After July 1 when Jupiter moves into Leo, the sign governing motion pictures and entertainment, Hollywood stars, theatrical stars and all entertainers will be called upon to keep up the morale of the entire world.
