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.

Her body felt tired, she thought, as she sat in Sardi’s waiting for dinner to be brought to her usual table. And . . . she waited for a long distance phone call from Tony, a call that was already fifteen minutes overdue. Shelley leaned back, shut her weary eyes, thought of Tony. From the next booth, drifting almost in a whisper, came the words, “Shelley’s had it. Tony’s about to dump her. In fact ... he already has. For a younger girl.” Shelley kept her eyes closed as long as she could, so the tears would not give her feelings away. She tried not to believe what she had heard, and While Shelley waited alone, Tony was 3,000 miles away with Judy Balaban. ( Continued on page 70)
