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.

It required long hard weeks of practice but under the guidance of Larry Sullivan, studio orchestra trumpeter, Kirk soon learned to purse his lips with the best of them. However, the sounds he produced required him to put a mute on the trumpet to save the musicians’ ears! (Harry James dubs for the actual playing.) Eventually, Kirk did learn to play a couple of numbers — one of them “Buttermilk Sky,” by Hoagy Carmichael. Kirk doubts, however, if the way he plays it makes Hoagy happy!
