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.

Yo u'll H EAR an entirely new and different Corinne Griffith in "Lilies of the Field," with a mellow, lilting voice that will win you from the first word. . . . You'll SEE a newCorinne Griffith in"Lilies of theField"-a faststepping girl of today doing daring things in daring costumes. "Lilies of the Field," made from a famous Broadway hit, rip9 through forbidden walls to lay bare the lives of worthless women and faithless men. It probes the secret places of a mother's heart to find a love far greater than that which lovers know. Its powerful dialogue, its catchy new songs, its striking chorus numbers, its lovely star, make"Lilies of the Field" one of the most satisfying talking pictures yet produced. Watch for it!
