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.

Every day of her life Shirley knew what she wanted from life— and she had learned early the secret of success. She also had learned to work for it.
