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.

YOUR PHOTOPLAY (A Jeff Hunter and his cute wife Barbara Rush are doing all right in their movie careers— he’s in “Cry of the Swamp” and she’s in "Flaming Feather.” But still they have to watch their budget. But as the day came closer, Jeff wasn't so sure. And when he saw a sign, “Auction today on Early American Furniture,” he thought, “no harm in looking!” The first thing he saw was . . . ... a spice cabinet. Just what Barbara wanted! Besides, it was furniture for the house, too. When the cabinet was auctioned, Jeff bid $5 — and prayed no one would raise him. But a woman’s . . . . . . voice from the rear called “17.50!” Jeff went higher and higher. But the woman outbid him to the bitter end! Indignantly, Jeff turned to glare at her— then froze. For there . . . . . . stood Barbara, looking at him accusingly. For a minute he looked guilty because he'd broken their bargain. Then p light dawned. Barbara was the woman who'd outbid him! 83
