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.

kZ^Cl v^^Js\_ ^Lc^-o M(TU-,Uxy 5Z7^^^^<^y^^Z, ^^aA^y This is the "Can't we just be friends?" kiss, perfected by Betty Grable. It's a goodsport, remember-me, I'm-your-pal caress. That is, that's what it starts out to be And this is the sort of kiss that makes even the tough old top sergeant start dreaming of moonlight and roses to the tune of "I Surrender Dear." Lady behind the lips: Dorothy Lamour Personal to the boys: These imprints are life Personal to the chance to match your lips aga the stars'. P.S. to all soldiers, sailors and marines: These sentimental greetings were sent by the Hollywood stars to you, Uncle Sam's boys, wherever and whenever one of you picks up this magazine. The cuddle-up-a-little-closer, "sweet young thing" type of kiss, with a dash of spice thrown in, specialty of the Hollywood house of Darnell. Linda gives it; the boys get it; the soldier caps start flying in air
