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.

Then she smiled to show an empty place in her mouth where she’d just lost a tooth. She let the hoop circle down to her ankles, jumped out of it deftly, snatched it up and offered it. “Want to try?” “I’ll have to practice first,” Susan Hayward Chalkley laughed. “You’re so good at it, I’d rather just watch you.” Susan stood there admiring the little girl as she wiggled her hoop. “Got to go now,” she finally said. “See you again.” Susan Hayward walked on past ( Continued on page 97) by HILDEGARDE JOHNSON 66
