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.

Something haunting — indefinable. You are my Mystery Girl." Of course a " Mystery Girl " could only smile — as mysteriously as possible. But / knew what it was that made Larry feel that way — the subtle "something" that he found elusive, charming, individual. For too long before I knew him I had missed the secret of allure. No one ever tried to dance an entire evening with me, or whispered exciting things in my ear. Then one day — about the time I first met Larry — I found a perfectly enchanting perfume. So deliciously fragrant, so delightfully elusive, as to make one seem altogether distinctive and charming. It provided the illusion of something thrilling, mysterious, which had been missing in my personality. Almost at once I found myself enjoying a new popularity with men.
