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.

^ OSSARD "step-ins" are ItTtO STAY— and they're stepping up in general favor with every season. Considered revolutionary and decidedly extreme when Gossard first brought them out, their popularity has increased by leaps and bounds because modern women have welcomed the ease with which they could be donned— the end of old-fashioned buckling and what not. There is ease and comfort within the gentle confines of a Gossard "step-in." Yet so perfectly does it mould and retain that you have the feeling of being tailor-made right down to the flesh. You enjoy the supreme satisfaction of wearing a foundation garment designed for your individual need. The model pictured here and described below is featured by Gossard dealers the world over. Ask for it. A fourteen-inch step-in of rich brocade combined with elastic. Wide sections of elastic over hips and a five-inch gore in front enhance the glove-like snugness of this garment. Boned front and back, and trimmed at lop with ribbon and flowers. Lacing adjustment at lop on one side. This is Model Number 738 .. . Retails at $7.50. THE H W GOSSARD CO.. Chicago.
