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.

Photoplay Magazine for January, 1930 l9 Guide posts At the top of old Dorfchenberg, not far from the Black Forest, there is a wilderness of pines where fortyone trails converge. Even experienced hikers were helpless in this maze of paths until kindly peasants carefully marked each trail with a stone guide. Through the maze of modern products advertisements guide you straight to merchandise of full value. Advertisements save you money by indicating worthy goods. Advertised products do not vary in quality. Ask for them by name. That automatically protects you from untested merchandise. Study the advertisements carefully and you will be repaid. Take notice of them and you can cut your budget. That means money for a growing savings account, a trim new Parisian hat, or enough to repaint the kitchen. You will be surprised to find how that extra value in advertised products tucks away pennies in your purse. Advertisements are your guide to that increased value.
