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

Safety in numbers, Cal presumes. . . Friends who traveled to Laguna, one week-day, claim they had the beach to themselves, except for Vic Mature, his dog and little step-son, to whom he is devoted. Incidentally, Vic, who has succumbed to the art craze, has his canvases framed before he begins to paint. Claims he hasn’t the nerve to let anyone see them afterwards— even a framer. A Line or Two: Linda Darnell has completed a bust of her adopted baby Lola (short for Charlotte), who is not yet a year old. . . Richard Widmark is confused over a fan letter informing him that certain college lads are forming a Tommy Udo club (after Richard’s gangster character in “Kiss of Death”) for the express purpose of keeping women under control.
