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.

Arthur Godfrey, CBS Radio’s fabulous redhead who’s discovered so many new show business talents, recently revealed a new talent of his own. Before a hip audience at the Las Vegas Stardust, he emerged for the first time as Arthur Godfrey, night club star. It was a new role for Arthur and a new audience — but the response was just what it’s always been. As columnist Louis Sobol said, in the New York Journal American , Godfrey 'wowed them.” Forest Duke began his widely syndicated review: "Three of the biggest names in show business opened Monday night on the Las Vegas Strip — Arthur Godfrey, Marlene Dietrich and Louis 'Satchmo’ Armstrong.” And he continued, "Arthur Godfrey, in his Las Vegas debut . . . brings an omnibus of fun to the Stardust.” From the Stardust, Arthur took his show touring— packing everything from ballrooms to stadiums. He even packed the giant gymnasium at The University of Texas. And the kids loved him! What won the night club crowd, the collegians and the critics? Godfrey himself, most of all. Supported by Kong Ling, the pert young singer he discovered in Hong Kong, the Buffalo Bills, and Arthur’s own Dixieland Band, he presented the same warm, witty mixture of anecdote, gag and song that you can hear at home— just by tuning to your CBS Radio Network station.
