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.

Tony Curtis was first “I’ve drums that I cherish — If wife, Janet, touched them I think I would perish. If I offered these Perhaps folks would see What all of their friendship Has meant to me.” “Just great,” said Tony Perkins “That’s a real great plan. And I’ve got just the gift To give to a fan. I’ve got a young pup From Pumky’s litter, She’s paper-trained And needs no sitter.” Van Cliburn was shy, “Something special for fans — Well, I’ve not much to offer ’Cept me and my hands. Would it be okay And perhaps in accord. If I gave one of my concertos On a LP record?” Is it Dick Clark’s gift you hope to win? Just turn back a page, fill the coupon in.
