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.

PENCIL YOU come to me at Christmas outrivaling in your sagacity the Wise Men of the East, for you know full well that in giving me this adorable Sheaffer Fountain Pen you leave me no excuse for not writing to you often. As for its lovely mate in this cunning 'Giftie Box' — the Sheaffer Sharp Point Pencil — I, like all women who detest sharpening a pencil, have wanted one of these ready companions. How did you know ? And how did you guess that I have fairly coveted the Sheaffer Pen and Pencil above all others because they are so mechanically perfect and so symmetrical and beautiful?" W. A.
