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.

Two Afghan hounds rolled contentedly on the smooth green lawn. The quiet hush of afternoon was broken only by a faint rustling of leaves in the summer breeze, so the sound of our car alerted the lady of the house. Before we had tumbled out, the door was flung open, and there was Dorothy Malone, in a white shirt, Bermuda shorts and white wool socks — no shoes — greeting us with a big smile and a warm “Come in!
