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.

White Arnel jersey swimsuit, $22.05, Robby Leu. Farther along on the water’s brink Where one goes in to swim, not sink, I spied two chicks who were looking ducky. (To find chicks like ducks is unusually lucky). Well, these little ducks were pulling a friend Who had ’hold of the rope on the other end. I like my girl chicks when they’re not afraid To use their arms for what arms are made, For a lass who does more than just sit in the sun Is the lass that this lad finds lots of fun. And then I spied what these chicks were wearing, Terrific suits that were modest yet daring. One wore, said she, boucle woven in turquoise With the back cut out accidentally “on purpoise.” Her friend’s suit was two neat pieces of cotton In yellow paisley, she said — I’ve not forgotten. These cute little figures still stick in my mind, Chicks full of hit And how about the friend on the end, Holding the rope where it started to bend? This girl looked like a sweet little rose, And a rose is the prettiest flower that grows. She was wearing these flowers all over her suit (Her suit was a dress cut short at the root) . She’d tied a bandana around her hair And, well frankly, it didn’t seem fair For one girl to have so many feminine wiles That you’d burst into song for one of her smiles. continued FOR INFORMATION ON WHERE TO BUY, CHECK CONTENTS PAGE
