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.

Jean's punishment for refusing to name her favorite stars was to pose as all three characters of "The Spirit of '76" (top, right). The sketch (right, center), for those not versed in the Arthurian school of art, is a portrait of Jean and her dog — the forfeit paid on "What characteristic of Hollywood people annoys you most?". Jean's disposition is a touchy subject. Result: a picture of her in a football uniform (bottom). If she has ever shocked her friends, she's not telling. Penalty — a picture which looks the least like her (center). As for the term of endearment she uses to address her husband, Jean would rather write a fan letter to Charlie McCarthy (left) than tell. Another consequence (top) was meted out when Jean refused to name the leading man with whom she enjoyed working least When the questions got too personal, Jean took the above punishment on No. 24 and the one fer left on No. 39
