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.

Barbara thinks she grew up the day these two deep urges came into apparent conflict and she had to work out a compromise between them. The big decision came, for Barbara, when she was twenty-two, an early age for important decisions. She had been married a year and a half to Carl Schreuer, a young electrical engineer.
