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.

Norma Moore believes a girl should have one good dress and a meal one good dish The first time we met pert and pretty Norma Moore, was in Hollywood, where she was making “Fear Strikes Out” witli Tony Perkins. Over a commissary luncheon, we found out that Norma, a so-so cook, would like to be able to serve up at least one “good dish.” So when we heard Norma was in New York, we made a date to have her meet Bruno, who owns the “Pen and Pencil,” a favorite restaurant of visiting Hollywood stars. We explained Norma’s problem and Bruno promised a quick solution. Norma came over with Jimmy Sisco, young dancer in Broadway’s “New Faces,” and in less time than it took to eat it, Norma had her specialty, Bruno’s own Caesar Salad: Romaine, broken, not cut; one-minute eggs; croutons; grated parmesan cheese; and anchovies.
