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.

Photoplay’s Hollywood Tour guests: Etta Rue and Mrs. Marie Kamen win a flight with Jon Hall f" ink and Smith of the couple who visited Don Loper’s fashion show and later received John Frederics chapeaus especially created for them by John in his Beverly Hills salon. Cal recalls one winner, a charming miss of about seventy, who confided to Joan Leslie on the set of “Repeat Performance” that this was indeed the crowning event of her long life. Bing Crosby, the old crooner himself, guested another lucky pair at one of his radio rehearsals and broadcasts; others have watched Maria Montez and Jean Pierre Aumont in a love scene for “Atlantis”; or visited the sets of “Heaven Only Knows” with Bob Cummings playing an angel; of “Wall Flower” that features Bob Hutton; and of “The Paradine Case” with Gregory Peck. Charles Boyer, Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, June Allyson are just a few of the many stars who have greeted Photoplay’s winners. Every day during the broadcast Cal interviews a star on the air and so far Dinah Shore, Eve Arden (whom Cal gifted with a Valentine bouquet), John Carroll, Martha Dinah Shore gets a gag-award on Tour program — her own recording presented by Maxine Arnold Olivia Egan and Mary Jones on Hollywood Tour view a Jane Withers childhood film at Janie’s home
