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.

\ I was pushing my bare toes along on the sand When I stopped for the pleasantest sight in the land: Two girls wearing red and roasting hot dogs Were catching all eyes in their neat little togs. Now cooking, as everyone knows, is an art, And also one way to a young man’s heart. So I paused in my pursuits because it seemed fit, To notice that both the girls’ swim suits were knit. One had a cat’s meow cap on her head, The other was checkered in white, black and red. Both of them looked cool as a pool I know, you see, ’cause I’m no poor fool. In the background I heard a terrific male voice. It was me on a record — a sensible choice. I looked at the girl who was listening enraptured. And right then and there my fancy was captured. On second look, I noticed her suit shone with a sheen, And that’s ’cause, so she said, it was white bengaline. Words can’t describe the way that suit fit, Nor the crazy buttons up one side of it. She seemed far away, digging my song, On a dreamy trip — wish I was along. continued White bengaline maillot, $10.95, Marina del Mar. RCA Victor portable vlctrola.
