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.

Beginning in 1921, Photoplay bestowed its annual 'Medal of Honor' for the film readers voted as the best of the year. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011.

It’s all very amusing. Jeanne is one of the most wonderful girls I’ve ever known, but frankly, we’re not contemplating marriage, nor are we engaged, nor are we even “hot and heavy,” as one writer intimated. The truth is — I’ve been out with Jeanne very few times, excluding luncheon dates. The premiere of “Wilson” was the first planned date we’ve ever had.
