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.

Wife Betty Hicks is sister of an Army pal He can milk a cow. He has an uncanny memory for faces and facts but experiences great difficulty in remembering names. His highest note is a D Natural above a High C. He is innately a gay spirit, weighs 180 pounds and believes that women in general are much happier today than they were fifty years ago despite the seeming contradiction of the divorce rate. He wears no garters. His legal name is Mario Lanza. He has never played solitaire, has never worn a Palm Beach suit and invariably eats vanilla ice cream for dessert. He would like to have six children. He prefers his oysters on the half-shell, never goes to a Turkish bath and finds it impossible to be on time for any appointment except for business. He is afflicted with an insatiable appetite and consequently is on a perpetual diet. He was christened Alfred Arnold Cocozza — the surname meaning squash in Italian. ( Continued on page 95) He’s crazy about gay people and wild patterned ties. He has an Irish wife, weeps at sad movies and finds excitement in the crowds that keep calling for — Mario Lanza 63
