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've got one that when aroused leads me into saying hard, cruel things I regret, in being ruthless when ruthlessness is not really a part of my nature. I'm learning to curb it, I think. At least, I find more and more that I enjoy good sound conversation that tolerates no emotionalism. The object FEBRUARY, 1943 BY OLIVIA it. HAVILLAND (As told to Sara Hamilton) of all intelligent discussions, after all, is to discover the truth of a thing. Truth comes with quiet unemotional reasoning.

C, I was approached by a young man who introduced himself as a student from Notre Dame, one of a group, he said, who were assigned to talk to various people about the country, gathering up opinions on current topics and so forth. I stood and looked at him. Something should be done right there, I reasoned, but no, I just stood and looked. "We could really talk much better over a coke," (Continued on page 94) 41
