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 November, 1933 HER BODYGUARD— Paramount.— Showgirl Wynne Gibson's so pestered, she hires Eddie Lowe as bodyguard. Good enough fun from there on. (Sept.) • HER FIRST MATE— Universal.— ZaSu Pitts tries to make a big time mariner out of Slim Summerville who's supposed to be first mate, but who is really selling peanuts, on the Albany night boat. Una Merkel helps scramble up the hilariously funny plot. (Oct.) HEROES FOR SALE— First National.— Boo hoo! It's just too awful — all that happens to exsoldier Dick Barthelmess! (Aug.) HERTH.VS AWAKENING— UFA— A country lass and a city boy who forgot. Candid sex done sincerely. German with English subtitles. (June) HIGH GEAR — Goldsmith Prod. — An auto racing driver thought to be yellow. Don't bother. (July) HIS PRIVATE SECRETARY— Showmens Pictures.— An Evalyn Knapp romance with John Wayne. Distinctly better than most films in which Evalyn has appeared. (Oct.) HOLD ME TIGHT— Fox.— Another Jimmie Dunn-Sally Eilers opus, poor boy besting the villain, they live happily, etc. (A ug.) • HOLD YOUR MAN— M-G-M.— Clark Gable and Jean Harlow; both crooked to start, both go straight for love. Not another "Red Dust." but good enough. (Sept.) HUMANITY— Fox.— Ralph Morgan as a noblesouled old family doctor whose doctor son (Alexander Kirkland) isn't so good. Fair entertainment. (June) ICH WILL NICHT WISSEN WER DU BIST (DON'T TELL ME WHO YOU ARE)— Interworld Prod. — A gay and tuneful German love story with English captions. (May) *"I COVER THE WATERFRONT"— United Artists. — The late Ernest Torrence, a fisherman who smuggles Chinamen, exposed when reporter Ben Lyon wins Ernest's daughter, Claudette Colbert. Good melodrama. (July) I LOVE THAT MAN— Paramount.— Nancy Carroll sticks to con-man Eddie Lowe, and all but reforms him when he gets double-crossed and killed. Acceptable. (July) I LOVED YOU WEDNESDAY— Fox— Life and loves of dancer Elissa Landi. Victor Jory throws her over; Warner Baxter loves her. Pleasant; not gripping. (Sept.) INDIA SPEAKS— RKO-Radio.— Richard Halliburton gives a personally conducted exposure of the caste system and some adventure. We're doubtful. (July) INFERNAL MACHINE— Fox.— Dull ship-board melodrama; over-sexy. (May) INTERNATIONAL HOUSE — Paramount. — A riot of gags, put over by W. C. Fields and others, while Stu Erwin tries to buy a Chinese invention. (July) IT'S GREAT TO BE ALIVE— Fox— Perhaps squirrels who see this will think so; most audiences won't. Herbert Mundin, Edna May Oliver help some. (Sept.) JENNIE GERHARDT — Paramount. — Sylvia Sidney's grand acting saves a slow telling of the Dreiser tale about a girl who, unwedded, loved her man throughout life. (A ug.) KEYHOLE, THE— Warners.— Kay Francis and George Brent lend romance to a blackmailing mystery. (May) • KING KONG — RKO-Radio. — A smash thriller, with Fay Wray, Bruce Cabot and Robert Armstrong tangled with an ape fifty feet high. (May) KING OF THE ARENA— Universal.rate Western with Ken Maynard. (July) -A first KING OF THE JUNGLE— Paramount.— Buster Crabbe's debut as the "Lion Man," tamed byFrances Dee. Interesting animal stuff. (May) KISS BEFORE THE MIRROR, THE— Universal.— Paul Lukas murders a faithless wife, and Frank Morgan thinks of doing the same to his (Nancy Carroll), who seems miscast. Well done. (May) You can see this faucet Waste Water But . • . you can't see a poor lamp waste current IF YOU could see what goes on inside a poorly made lamp as plainly as you see the drip, drip of a leaky faucet, you would never take a chance with "bargain" lamps. You buy lamps to get light. A faulty lamp consumes as much current as a good one, but it may give far less light, blacken quickly or burn out prematurely. Edison Mazda Lamps possess the many refinements General Electric has contributed to lamp manufacture over a period of more than forty years. They do what inferior lamps can't do — they give you all the light you pay for. The banner shown at the right will guide you to a store that sells Edison Mazda Lamps, the lamps that are kind to your eyes . . . and your pocketbook. General Electric manufactures Limps for all lighting purposes . . . lamps for home lighting and decoration, automobiles, flashlights, photography, storts, offices and factories, street lighting and signs. Sunlight lamps, too . . . General Electric Company, Nela Park, Cleveland, Ohio.
