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.

And she was so proud of the fact that every stitch was made in Cahfomia. Besides the costumes that famed designer Edith Head whipped up for her, several leading California manufacturers (knowing that Wanda is not a rich girl and how much this trip meant to her) cooperated to the extent of giving her special prices on a lot of things.
