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.

Up from the Lone Star State came Sgt. Bill's request saying that since Joan Crawford was one of his favorites and since "Oh, What A Beautiful Morning" was another, he'd like to see the two combined. So Joan obliged by recording "Oh, What A Beautiful Morning" for Bill Jack David Wollard at a Naval hospital off in the Pacific PERFORMANCE Sgt. Bill Sully who is at Sheppard Field. Tex. This is an invitation to the men and women in our Allied armed forces to take part in Photoplay's Command Performance. W rite the Command Performance Editor, Photoplay, 205 East 42nd St., N. Y. 17, N. Y ., telling exactly what yqu would like to see your favorite star do. Our cameraman Hymie Fink will take the picture of the star if the star is available ; it will be reproduced, together with your picture, in Photoplay and the original picture, autographed by the star to you, will be forwarded to you at the address you give the Command Performance Editor. A copy of the issue in which your requested picture appears will also be sent you as a gift from Photoplay. Be sure to give your rank, complete name and address, the name of your home town — and enclose a picture of yourself if you can. Joe, who has been in every theater of war, from North Africa to Singapore, asked to see Ginger Rogers, all done up beautiful, autographing a picture for him. Ginger, who has a fighting man of her own out there somewhere, couldn't refuse. She did more than merely autograph a picture. Just look at that smile. It's fcir you, Joe! By V-Mail came a cheery note from Jack (he’s not a patient, he's on the staff) saying he'd like to see his favorite, Jane Withers, done up for some fur-trimmed swimming. So, Janie, who works her feet off for the boys, hied herself right out to the pool. Like it, Jack? ~°o sf £ri5*.BF Connect;, Hard °iePh °ornf; <eld cut lad 49
