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.

Deadly cobra fascinated Bill, who likes flirting with danger. Trainer never did say if poisonous venom had been removed. “Fortunately,” Bill adds, “I didn’t have to find out — we got on fine.” TWO WORLDS I KNOW continued, Japan, he and the Crown Prince became fast friends and Bill regularly sends him favorite American showtune albums, while Japan’s famed Kabuki players recently gifted Bill with a hand-painted wall panel “for my office back home.” Happiest just living the life of the country he’s in, Bill took to sarongs (worn by Singhalese men) , made friends ( ? ) with a cobra, played straight man for a talented trick elephant. Wife Ardis doesn’t mind his “traveling fever” but some of his enthusiasms can be a little upsetting — like the time they were leaving Ceylon and Bill said he was going to take home a cobra for the Griffith Park Zoo. Ardis drew the line at baby-sitting for a cobra on the plane and Bill dropped it. So now the mobile Holdens are back in Hollywood (after a sidetrip to England) but only long enough for Bill to figure out his next route back to — -The Orient ! 50
