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.

WANTED TO BUY Got a pink sofa you’d like to get rid of? Need it for our 60 by 40 living room. Also can use all kinds of chairs, tables, beds, pictures, curtains, shelves, rugs, etc. — the crazier and more colorful the better — for our 27-room, 11-bath house. Have love, nursery things, kids and each other. Need furnishings fast. Contact Mickey Hargitay and Jayne Mansfield, Hollywood. They had no furniture — that’s what it said, right there in the papers. Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay were camping out in their Holmby Hills mansion, without so much as a bed. Whose heart could fail to be touched? Brushing away a tear or two, Photoplay’s editors called a conference. “Let’s start a fund and ask for contributions. ‘Help make the Hargitays’ house a real home.’ How’s that for a slogan?” “No, wait a minute. Probably Jayne and Mickey are too proud to take charity. Suppose we ask the readers whether they can each spare a piece of slightly used furniture — and let the kids have it for a couple of dollars? That old brass bed up in the attic, maybe. That wicker rocking chair down in the cellar. Why, if enough people pitch in, the Hargitays can have the place furnished in no time.” “Fine! Now you go out and give Jayne and Mickey the good news.” [Continued on page 79) !«;, ■>>}< • 'V. ■ ■ by TRICIA HURST i
