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.

The sentiment is likewise. But the gift — that’s where the Hollywood gentry use their own imaginations. They often say it with flowers, jewelry and mink — and sometimes they say it with their tongues in their cheeks. Bob Taylor, for instance, may give Barbara Stanwyck a flawless ruby pin, or he may go to infinite pains to produce a laugh. Once he got a blank form such as that studios send out to film fans who write in for photographs, attached a quarter and scribbled, “Dear Miss Stanwyck: You are my Valentine. Please send an autographed photo to the undersigned at the address below,” which was, of course, their own home address. And she did.
