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.

He says what he has to say and stops, obviously under no compulsion to embroider. And at Twentieth CenturyFox there’s been nothing to match him since the year of the young Ty Power. As he talks, you feel in him the same kind of balance and sanity that you felt in Joe Blake, blazing his quiet way through “Take Care of My Little Girl.” His ideas are definite without being rigid. Curiously enough, he broke with a girl on the sorority question. It happened at Oklahoma Military College. “Are you joining a frat?” asked the girl. “No, I can’t ( Continued on page 77) A big guy, Dale never had to knock anyone down to get what he wanted.
