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.

Only the drip-drip of a faucet dared intrude on the shameful sound of that word “sneaky.” It was a new word to the vocabulary of young Bob Moseley (later to become famous as Guy Madison) and he instantly decided he wanted no further connection with it. . . .
