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.

c/he pays ^780 for nice hands mine cost me next to nothina / I don't have $780 a year to spend on a maid — like my nice next-door neighbor, Alice G , who has two cars and never even washes out a handkerchief! My hands are my maids, and with a baby and husband to care for, you can imagine how busy they are. Perhaps you're like me . . . you enjoy tending babies and home. But at a bridge or tea, you don't want your hands to look useful and stodgy. You want them to be ornamental! Don't I know? For the first year after I was married, my hands looked like two neglected orphans. And how I sighed over them! Strangely enough when my baby came I realized what was the trouble. Every day I put her little clothes through Ivory suds. And my hands always felt soothed afterward. (They usually were like graters after my Monday washing with ordinary "kitchen soap.") So I decided to try Ivory for all my work. And at the end of a week, I felt as if I had a new pair of hands. Don't say hands can't speak! For they were thanking me for changing my dishwashing and cleaning and clothes-washing into gentle Ivory baths ! If you try my plan, as I hope you will, you'll find Ivory is thrifty because it keeps things like new. It doesn't fade colors ... or rob paint of its gloss ... or discolor linoleum as strong soaps do. But I have my best reward when my neighbor drops in for a chat and a cup of fragrant tea. For I can't help noticing then (I'm only human!) that my hands look as carefree as hers! CATHERINE CARR LEWIS Free: A little book on charm. What kind of care for different complexions? For hands?
