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.

Beginning in 1921, Photoplay bestowed its annual 'Medal of Honor' for the film readers voted as the best of the year. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011.

In twenty minutes of concentrated worry Miss Ball can work up such a storm in her sinuses that her head splits achingly and her nose swells to gigantic proportions. Miss Ball has a secret and eccentric complex. She wants everyone on this planet to like her. She cannot work on a set if she feels any of the crew disliking her and she says she has antennae that reach clear up to the juicers on the cat walks.
