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.

Shivering a little, I thought that even my family would appreciate my mania for orderliness on this day — even if that mania had upon occasion caused me to do such foolish things as throw away the ration books when cleaning out a kitchen drawer. In just a few hours Bob and I would leave the little house I had moved into when he was in the Navy. Like half of America, we had dreamed that, come the war’s end, we’d build our dream house. We had paced back and forth over the acre we’d bought. We were the pair who knew exactly what we wanted. Our dream house had been long and carefully planned and we wouldn’t change a detail!
