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.

But he was pretending — so she was pretending too, her brown eyes wide and excited. He was blowing harder now— his cheeks puffed out as big as balloons. She was a little Hindu girl, a victim of polio, who still wore a brace on one small wasted leg. He was an American star named Red Skelton, alias Clem Kaddidlehopper— and he was making like a half-wit playing with a feather now. The imaginary feather landed on his nose. It tickled, and he sneezed. The child laughed. Back of her, eleven other pairs of eyes — some Indian-brown and others ( Continued on page 94) Red Skelton appears next in “Lovely to Look At” CLOWH 39
