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.

Search for Film Teddy Ends T. R. is Found ! WHEN the Famous Players started to make "The Rough Riders," a country-wide search was instituted for a man who looked like Theodore Roosevelt — and who could act the role. Mrs. Dorothy Dodd, a Los Angeles woman, read of the search. As she was leaving a film theater one night she noticed a man who looked like the famous " T. R." of Spanish-American War days. She hurried to his side and suggested that he apply for the role. The man, Frank Hopper, went around to the Hollywood studio the next day and got the job. Curiously, he had been an actor for eighteen years but he had given up, unable to get a job. He had been working for two months as a book agent. 97
