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.

I made five tests for the role of Chopin in ‘A Song to Remember’ — even had the costumes fitted — but Cornel Wilde got the role. I tested for ‘The Bandit of Sherwood Forest’ — Cornel got that one, too.
