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.

Will took off his jacket and tossed it over the seat. Then he stretched himself lazily out flat on the ground. “Come on down, the weather’s fine,” he laughed.
