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.

Beginning in 1921, Photoplay bestowed its annual 'Medal of Honor' for the film readers voted as the best of the year. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011.

A French provincial desk was at another wall, and two chairs, covered with saffron colored upholstery, were in the room. A red leather engagement book with “Debbie” printed in gold letters on its cover lay atop the desk. In the center of the room was a small, low table, glass topped. It was scarcely eight inches high. Mary and I talked for several minutes about the stars of yesteryear, about their triumphs and tragedies. We spoke of Janet Gaynor, Jean Harlow, Carole Lombard. Suddenly the dressing room door was pushed open, and a white toy French poodle bounded in. “Rocky!” a girlish voice called. And Debbie rushed in. “Rocky, come back here,” she commanded.
