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.

fresh young HALO look is softer, brighter READERS INC. continued from page 10 Marriage, Morals and Heston I’m getting up on the soap box for Charlton Heston, one of my favorite actors. Thank you for the wonderful story, “On Men and Matrimony,” in your May issue and the fine pictures. If lie’s considered old-fashioned for what he believes in marriage, then I am, too. It’s so good to read about a few movie stars who still believe in principles. Also, I would like to commend Heston for his brilliant performance in “The Ten Commandments” in his portrayal of Moses. It was indeed a spectacular movie with splendid casting. You can always depend on Cecil B. DeMille to come up with the greatest in motion pictures, as well as great stars like Heston and Brynner. It certainly helped me to understand the Bible more clearly. (Mrs.) W. H. Thomas Bessemer, Alabama A Gem Among Men I frankly admit that Charlton Heston is not my favorite actor, but after reading his soul-searching statements in your May issue in “On Men and Matrimony,” I find him a gem among men. He has expressed my own feelings so beautifully regarding marriage and morals that I must admit my admiration for him. If only more men and women would emulate his ideals and have the courage to live up to them, how much more true happiness thy would reap! Thank you, Mr. Heston, for your personal fight for decent living. Nadine M.
