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 HILDEGARDE JOHNSON You Chose • For the eighth time, Photoplay readers have judged the hottest players of the year and come up with the twenty they believe are destined to reach the heights. Look back to the first of the “Choose Your ■ Stars” ballots, in 1948, to see what shrewd prophets you moviegoers can be. Then newcomers, their careers barely started, these players were among the group tagged for future fame: Rory Calhoun, Montgomery Clift, Richard Widmark, Jean Peters, Janet Leigh, Doris Day, (Terry Moore. Doris, for instance, had been seen in only one movie — but that was enough for the sharp-eyed voters. Now here are the twenty players expected to forge ahead most vigorously in 1956. ; Some are as new to movies as Doris was then ; some have been plugging away stubbornly, waiting for the big chance to come their way. With your votes, you have told all twenty that they have your confidence, and this itself furnishes them with motive power toward success.
