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.

When in the post-office, amid hurly-burly, He spotted Pat Boone mailing Christmas cards early. “Hi, Pat,’' said the mouse, “we really wish you And the stars would edit part of this issue. Then all of the fans who read Photoplay Would dig what you’re doing up to Christmas day.” Here’s the result: First, Let Stars Trim Your Tree (cut out their cards for your friends to see). Our mouse spied a shopper. “Who’s that?” he said. “Why — Leslie Caron — with a toy cat!” (He fled.) Then Rick & Dave Nelson told him fans everywhere Could Win a Christmas Present From Stars — who care. So a gal can dazzle her fellow, the stars include A 20-day plan to put him in that mistletoe mood. The Lennons pull taffy, and Sal Mineo plays host To a gang of kids who think Sal’s the “most.” As a favor (and ’cause we just raised his wages)
