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.

~0 Once upon a summertime, Hayley Mills waved her magic wand and announced that from now on, fashions were going to be more exciting, more beautiful, more feminine and more fun than ever before. Instantly, the most wonderful things began to happen — skirts became breezier, waistlines relaxed and enjoyed themselves, sleeves were free to be long or short, and fabrics, forced to hide under coats all winter, suddenly burst into a tizzy of fresh flowers, new textures and bright colors. Hayley was thrilled. “Let's wave the wand again and really make this a summer to remember!” She did and presto, there appeared a whole assortment of accessories to add magic to any wardrobe. The results shown here (as delightful as Hayley’s performance in “Summer Magic”) are these chic fashions that add up to much more magic than money. OPPOSITE PAGE: Pull separates like these out of the closet and you’ll have a glamorous outfit that shines after dark. Both gently fitted blouse and flared skirt are sparkling white Dacron and cotton ottoman by Galey and Lord. The blouse (Simplicity pattern 4948, 650) comes in Juniors’ sizes 11 to 15, Misses' sizes 12 to 18. Also included, a full skirt and slim pants. The A-line skirt (Simplicity pattern 4466, 450) comes in waist sizes 24 to 32. Added magic: the jet pin by Coro; gloves by Wear Right; pumps by Capezio. THIS PAGE: When is a shirtdress not a shirtdress? When it’s a blouse and skirt, of course. Both team-mates in cotton floral stripes by Riegel are made from Simplicity pattern 4970, 650. The blouse has a convertible collar and a cross-cut front yoke. The skirt is gathered. Also included, tapered pants and a short-sleeved version of the same shirt to wear outside and unbelted. Misses’ 10 to 18. Added magic: straw flats by Capezio, clutch by Ronay. For backviews and additional information on these patterns, please see page 94.
