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.

When the MacMurrays were decorating their new and beautiful home, they ordered some fancy material for the drapes. The decorator, knowing his client, brought material to sell at $1.00 a yard. Fred had set the budget for sixty cents a yard. He cancelled the drapes! Neither Fred nor Lillian will ever be applying for bed and board at the Motion Picture Actors Home in the Valley. And that’s wonderful. Hedy Lamarr always looks so helpless and she talks like a simple little girl drowning in a sea of figures — I mean the financial kind — but just show her a bankbook or how to make and save money!
