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.

Stern Bundle for Britain? Terry Moore's been seeing a lot of London’s Laurence Harvey lately! Long Distance: Doris Day, who pretty much gets what she wants and deserves these days, asked the studio to give her a tall leading man for a change. She shore ’nuff got him in six-foot, four-inch Howard Keel. For their love scenes in “Calamity Jane,” Dodo has to stand on a box to kiss the handsome critter! Once Upon a Time: Both Marilyn Monroe and Terry Moore were under contract to Twentieth Century-Fox. That studio let them go because “they weren’t promising enough.” Today, they’re merely the brightest stars on the company pa3rroll! . . . Cornel Wilde (then unknown) was all set to test for an M-G-M contract. when a studio executive who didn’t like him as an actor managed to have the test killed. Today, the same studio is paying Cornel a six-figure salary to appear in “Saadia,” now being shot in Morocco! Predictions: A great new singing career Jor Jeff Chandler, who’s been studying with the famous Harriett Lee. Wait till you hear his “Soliloquy” from “Carousel.” Sensational! ... A polite refusal from Montgomery Clift to make a second picture with Anne Baxter. They worked well together, but there are those who insist that Monty prefers to play opposite intuitive actresses, rather than analytical ones ... A new and even more Rosemary Clooney is a hit in her hometown 1 I I 32
