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.

It was a time of great importance when we finally did choose the tree — which was always a pine. Awed, we’d stand back while an adult chopped it down and loaded it into the back of the car. Then we’d all load in too — our cheeks red from the winter cold, our anticipation of trimming our tree, high. Perhaps it lacked the glamour of the trees they sell on Hollywood Boulevard, all painted white or pink or blue, but it smelled wonderful and had strings and strings of tinsel and brightly colored balls and other ornaments, treasured for years, with which we decorated it.
