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.

Anyway, I opened the door and lo and behold — I knew I had finally arrived! (It brings a lump to my throat just thinking about it.) Photoplay had given me a filing cabinet all my own! All right! So I am dramatizing the thing a bit, but I guess no one will blame me for being a little “corny.” When you feel that the office gang is out to help you, you just have to feel good. All they want you to do in return is your share of the work. Of course, some people don’t know the secret of “how to work and enjoy it,” but after you’ve been at a few jobs, you begin to understand.
