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.

Party was held at Beverly Hills Hotel Dick Powell, representing Screen Actors Guild, and June Allyson congratulate Jane Wyman on “Night and Day,” one of top ten Adela Rogers St. Johns and her daughter Elaine, who also writes for Photoplay, congratulate Van Johnson on being in top five ducers. Photoplay’s own Adela Rogers St. Johns, who nearly thirty years ago as Photoplay’s first Western editor conceived the idea of the Gold Medals with the beloved editor Jimmy Quirk, sat at the speakers’ table, now dean of American women in journalism. Yes, Hollywood’s brains were represented and Hollywood’s wealth and power. Even' that busy gentleman, Dr. Gallup, famed throughout the world as the founder of public opinion polls, had flown across the country just to be present. So, too, had Photoplay’s editors, Fred Sammis and slim, blackhaired Helen Gilmore, who wore a gold lame gown and a cap of golden coq feathers in keeping with her role as Gold Medal hostess.
