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.

Flowered hopsacking blazer, $12.95; matching skirt, $7.95; solid overblouse, $5.95. Personal Sportswear. Dick Sargeant : Mardi Gras is one thing and for a girl to have fun-type outfits is great, but when my date looks like a Christmas tree, decked out in everything from tiaras to slave chains — then I cringe ! Don’t misunderstand me; I love a little jewelry in taste and moderation, but, for my money, you should go easy on the trimmings and concentrate more on the main dish! Tommy Sands: I like a girl to look her age. I mean, I hate dating a young girl who looks like a vamp in a slinky black dress and spike heel shoes. Another thing I like is neatness. A girl doesn’t have to be pretty if she’s got a neat appearance and •likes to have fun; then the fellow’s bound to have fun with her. I guess it all adds up to keeping natural. That’s the most important thing. Gary Crosby: Copycats! They’re my gripe! Does a girl have to wear something just because everybody else is wearing it? Especially if it’s terrible on her? Take the sack! I’ve seen some gals look swell in them, but others look sad and droopy. I don’t mind a girl trying out new styles, but she should try them on her close friends or family first, to see if she’s picked a winner. continued For where to buy Photoplay fashions, turn to page 78 57
