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.

ROIVIANCE IN THE AIR ? • For a long time Farley Granger has been a thorn in the side to the would-be Cupids of Hollywood. Young, handsome, talented — and almost irritatingly eligible — Farley became aloof after Shelley Winters’ marriage and was seldom seen at Hollywood’s social events. No matter how hard the well-wishers tried, they were unable to produce the girl who spelled romance to Farley. But now it looks as if — in fresh-faced lovely twentythree-year-old newcomer Dawn Addams — he’s found exactly what he’s been waiting for! Wishful thinking can often be premature in labeling friendship as a big romance. But in this case everyone’s hoping — for Farley is himself once more, and Dawn is turning to someone nearer her own age rather than the older men she’s been dating. Together they sparkle as neither has recently in the company of others — and that’s just one more reason why everyone is wondering whether it may at last be a real romance.
