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.

One the press attends, the other is strictly for stars. I made this one because we’re old friends . and I took these pictures for her personal album. Sonja knows how to get the right people together. The 200 guests received cards with table numbers. The dinner announcement, made by Sonja and Hoagy Carmichael, was a poem. So was the dinner. No wonder when someone said, “Remember the good old days?” Jack Warner replied, “My boy, these are the good old days!” Hymie Fink Clamour of the Far East for Merle Oberon, hand in hand with Mary Livingston as husband Jack Benny stands by Good friends got together in the well-arranged seating plan.
