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.

As one girl wailed: “Sure, I’d feel worse if it happened to me, but not much. You can’t even take sides, they’re both so swell.” A year ago, the Chandlers would have been left in peace to work out their problems. Now, with Jeff emerging as a top screen personality and an Oscar Award nominee, everyone wants to get into the act. It’s the same old price you pay for prominence, and it can’t be helped. Jeff said of his break-up with Marjorie, “It had nothing to do with Hollywood. I get tired of hearing Hollywood made the goat.
