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.

He flipped a quick hand in greeting to June Haver, his co-star in the Jessel picture, “I Wonder Who’s Kissing Her Now.” June left her table and scampered over, ( Continued on -page 83) Life was as uneven as a roller-coaster for Mark Stevens until luck .stepped in and applied the “breaks” BY CAMERON SHIPP Baby Mark is their good-luck piece — made his debut as “perfect” child Doghouse ditty: “Coax me a little bit,” barks Mark as Nell obliges 4
