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.

Loveliest features, we think, are the fan-shaped treatment of the bodice top, the lines of the bodice itself, which make the waistline look about four inches around, and the enormous fullness of the skirt, with its American Beauty roses tumbling down. Then there’s the feminine little detachable cape, which dips in back and fastens at the neck. It’s going to be awfully hard to discuss anything but after-dark clothes this month. There was that glittering dinner for Louella Parsons, to say nothing of those Fortnighter Dances which take place at Mocambo at which formal dress is a command!
