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.

Sympathy automatically goes to the husband. What does he think? What does he say? In this instance what the husband says is the last thing you’d expect. His is not the statement of just the good sportsman; his are the words of a man who looks at himself squarely and gives a frank appraisal of what he sees. “Evie and I met in March of ’37 when I opened in a play called ‘Hitch Your Wagon,’ produced by Garson Kanin. Tom Lewis brought Evie back stage for she had been doing a lot of radio work for Tom. She looked sensational, so I said, ‘This is for me.’ “Later on after most of the people had left Evie turned to me and said, ‘You’re a good actor but you’re taking too much for granted and fooling around too much with your career.’ “ ‘Who the devil are you,’ I asked, ‘to tell me about acting?
