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 fact, after the current success of his second starring role opposite Rita Hayworth in the Technicolorful “Down to Earth,” he finds the entire business of being a star a highly satisfactory one.
