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.

By cAdela Rogers St. Johns Deep understanding. Affection. Kindliness. I am a very hard person to live with. Every artist must be. I must find a woman who understands that creative art absorbs every bit of a man. When I am working, I withdraw absolutely from those I love. I have no energy, no love to give them. ‘'I want a woman who knows that a moment’s tender silence, a cushion for your head, a stool for your feet, mean more than transports of physical emotion. I want a wife — but I want that sense of absolute freedom one must have to create. I want soul, in my wife. I want her to trust me enough to know I wouldn’t abuse freedom, but that I must have it. or die. I want a wife who is restful, but who knows that an artist loves more passionately, more deeply, with more seeking for life and truth and beauty than any man in the world — and who can respond to that.” And here is the true story of Charlie’s search for his ideal, and the world-famous beauties, and vamps, and intellectuals with whom he tried and sometimes thought lie had succeeded, in finding it.
