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.

Larry and Betty: Enjoying his first recess from the movies since he began “The Jolson Story,” Larry Parks is like a kid out of school for a summer vacation. He and wife Betty are busy fixing their small house up Nichol’s Canyon way. The house began when a flood swept one room of a nearby house up on a hillside and left it there. When no one reported a missing room, the people who owned the property simply built a little home around the room and sold it to Larry. The white dog house in the rear belongs to the setter given Betty by the cast of “Call Me Mister” when she left the New York show for Hollywood. Betty, of course, promptly named the dog “Mister” and with his own brush Larry has carefully painted over the dog house door “Mr. Mister.” * * * The Taylors: The separation between the parents of sixteen -year -old Elizabeth Taylor was caused by disagreement over how a teen-age daughter should be brought up: The question of dates with boys, of how soon Elizabeth should wear lipstick, what time she should get in from dates^ and a dozen other similar Photographs by Tune in Cal’s Hollywood Tour — Monday through Friday 4.1 5 P.M.
