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.

Miss Turner has returned from nine months furlough an altered woman, on and off. Authority for this alarming report is our treasure herself. Close personal inspection of the masterpiece, more exhilarating to your student of art than a skate through the Louvre on three periods, fails to plunge the market into gloom. True, the gold is gone from her hair but it’s not turned to silver; it’s a natural bright brown and the only possible gloom over this is anticipated by Miss Turner’s collegiate clientele who write impudently to ask, “What will the peroxide merchants do now?” Also she has lost fifteen pounds.
