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.

Take something as simple as deciding to go out to buy shoes. “We’ll go to my favorite shoe shop,” Frank told Peter. “Oke,” said Peter. They set out from the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, whistling in harmony.
