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.

She was here vacationing before returning to Broadway to play in the Olsen-Johnson show, ‘Sons of Fun.’ They became acquainted at the Actors’ Lab, and the romance started. They were married before Betty clicked in ‘Call Me Mister’ or Parks clicked in ‘The Jolson Story.’ “In fact, because Betty has been building her career in New York while Larry has been working in Hollywood they haven’t seen much of each other since their marriage.
