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.

The wedding itself in the little town of Vallauris was, in spite of the crowds and fanfare, most charming. Rita looked very lovely in her blue dress and big blue hat. And she did not appear unduly nervous. Neither did Prince Aly. But Paul Derigon, Communist Mayor of Vallauris, who performed the ceremony, was nervous indeed. No wonder!
