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.

A reporter who was present in the hospital lobby noted with rather oblique humor that “Liz was certainly the most chic-looking patient this staid old place has seen since 1961, the time of her last emergency visit. She was wearing a suede jacket, scarlet slacks and shiny high boots this trip.” (He neglected to mention that she had just come from the set of a picture she was working on — ( Continued on page 48) 46
