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.

Beginning in 1921, Photoplay bestowed its annual 'Medal of Honor' for the film readers voted as the best of the year. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011.

Would the odds be better if I had struggled and starved? I came to Hollywood three years ago from the cast of a hit Broadway show, “Kiss and Tell.” In three years I’ve starred in two pictures with Bing Crosby, one with Bob Hope, danced in a film with Fred Astaire, and worked with prize people like Claude Rains and Bill Holden, with whom I co-star in the Paramount production, “Dear Ruth.” Then add to this the privilege of being directed by that great artist, director Mike Curtiz.
