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 June, 1930 35 What Every Girl Should Know No, not sex. Not a little booklet ladeled out by mamma to little daughter, behind the drawn blinds of the old family parlor. What every modern girl should know is how to be herself. Do you know how to be yourself? Do you really? Do you know how to buy the latest, smartest clothes on a budget income? Do you know the best and most becoming way to do your hair? Do you know what perfumes Park Avenue is using and the latest shade in nail polishes? Can you cook a mean beefsteak, when you want to, and get it to the table with a few vegetables and shortcakes on the side, in twenty minutes flat? Can you walk into any party and be the belle of the ball? And can you run the party if need be? Are you acquainted with the right end of asparagus and do you know when to invite him in and when to put him out? In other words, do you know all the things the new Smart Set can teach you? The new Smart Set is the one magazine, the only magazine, planned and edited for the modern girl. Gone are the patterns. Gone are the stuffy handcrafts, the care and feeding of babies. Gone are all the things that appeal to older, settled women. The new Smart Set is a magazine of youth — written by girls for girls. Eager girls. Ambitious girls. Romantic, spending girls. Girls who now are thinking chiefly of boy friends and jobs but who, some day, will find the only boy, and marry, and be the mothers of tomorrow. The new Smart Set brings you stories of girls like yourself. Aid on girls' problems. Humor and romance and pictures. Plus, also, the best fiction of the month, love stories of youth and romance.
