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.

Hollywood hits the trail for Alisal Ranch where cowboys rule the range and the first riders go out at dawn WHEN the John Dereks want to get away from it all they head for Alisal Ranch. Here they meet friends like the John Lindsays (Diana Lynn). Here they forget their cares. John and Patti, who like to stay in one of Alisal’s guest bungalows, never miss an early morning ride. And with thousands of acres to explore, they come back with appetites bigger than the cowpunchers’. Alisal is a working ranch, with nearly four thousand head of cattle and stables of over a hundred horses. The Alisal brand still is JRC, the initials of actor Leo Carrillo’s great-great-grandfather, the original owner. It’s fun, Western style, that keeps Hollywood riding Alisal’s trails. Riding isn’t the only thing that keeps guests going.
