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.

He pinched his face but it felt all right, except for a slight tingling. “Hey,” he said to his image, “what in thunder’s the matter with you?” He glared at himself and wrinkled his brow. His heart stood stiff. Only the right side of his forehead went up; the other side was marble-smooth. Something like terror gripped him when he noticed that his left eyelid drooped.
