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.

In fact, Ida sought a romantic honeymoon cottage, with all the newest conveniences and contemporary comforts keyed to the style of her wide gold wedding ring. Fantastically enough, she actually found such a house — a brand-new house, built like an old New England barn, a story and a half in height, painted red, with a big window where the hayloft would have been, with a little white picket fence dramatizing the entrance and with an open fireplace in the living room.
