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.

this page is yours Meredith Lynn MacRae, fourteen, tells what happens when “THE SECRET” conies out Singers Jan and Arnie helped as “bartenders” at the soft-drink bar. We had dancing, too, and some of Daddy’s friends turned out to be pretty good at it. We gave Daddy a giant replica of “The Secret” in honor of his first record with a real beat. There’ll be more, he says now. That’s my mom, Sheila, at left. I’ll have to confess — -though my Daddy is Gordon MacRae, singer and actor, I didn’t have any of his records in my collection. Oh, I think Daddy has the most divine voice, but . . . well, songs like “Soliloquy” from “Carousel” just don’t have that beat. So when I first heard Daddy’s record of “The Secret,” I flipped ! In fact, I gave a party for Daddy. I asked the kids I go to Buckley School with, and then I invited Daddy’s friends, too. For the “older set,” we had hors d’oeuvres and cocktails and soft piano music. For my gang, we had a soft-drink bar and a jukebox. Our party was at the California Racquet Club, but with fewer people, our own living room would have been just as much fun. Daddy says his next record with a beat may be “Get Off the Phone, Suzie” — dedicated to yours truly!
