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.

Then he peered anxiously down the street in the direction from which his limousine had just come. In the distance he saw another car, the twin of his own, coming towards Caxton Hall. He smiled at the two men on the steps above him, pointed towards the fast approaching limousine, and then joined them. The door opened, they entered, and the door closed once again.
