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.

Yet no discontent could be greater than Paramount's with all past achievement, however successful commercially, because Paramount sees that for every million going regularly to the movies there is a million which does not know that better pictures have come. If you have not seen a Paramount Picture for three months you are out-dated and out' moded in screen knowledge. The movies move and life is richer for them.
