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.

You’re wonderful. And it’s wonderful. How’d you know I needed a script-holder? And red leather — how’d you guess that was my favorite color?
