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.

His hair was tousled, as if he’d been romping with his child. And he seemed sleepy-eyed, with that special kind of dazed expression a father gets when he’s been pacing up and down all night trying to quiet a baby. He was wearing a short-sleeved, knit T-shirt, dirty slacks and sandals.
