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.

**■ • "*T^ _ BY RUTH WATERBURY IF I had an atom of sense I wouldn't try to write about Tyrone Power. For what every writer learns the very instant after purchasing his first batch of pencils and wad of paper is that one writes really well only about people one hates. After all, writing is just gossiping to the world at large instead of to three or four friends in your own parlor, and you know yourself how the conversation sickens and dies when you get around to talking about one of those people about whom you have to say, "Well, I've never heard anyone say a word against her." You really have to be able to pick flaws to get the conversation going really hot, or reveal some deadly secrets. And so it is with writing, too; yet here I am, sticking my neck out, trying to write a piece about Tyrone Power, against whom I can't say a word. Despite this almost rabid admiration I have, I can explain him to you. For this I know — and no two ways about it — more misconceptions, more nonsense, more downright lies have been I ■•■ Ty has a remembrance of things past which serves as his best protection w ■>Hsr % , .♦♦♦A km I A Alice Faye was a "friend in need"
