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.

1 1 1 if you want to be charming by Joan Crawford Star of “Goodbye, My Fancy ” Balance the man-shortage. Give yourself a chance to stand out in a crowd You can have your baby and your figure, too, if you take some Hollywood mothers’ advice Hit by the Manpower Shortage? "They're either too young or too old," is again becoming the national anthem' and the wails that trail in from around the country sound grim and resigned. "Why should I bother looking pretty?" these girls ask. "Why should I try to be charming? There aren't any men around to notice me anyway." But look! You're neither a polar bear nor a sleeping beauty, so curling into a deep doze for the duration won't bring Mr. Special around one day sooner. And when he does come , he ' s likely to miss you... So face the current man-shortage realistically. You've time on your hands. Well, use it to turn yourself into the kind of girl worth coming home to. One young wife whose husband is in the armed services has written saying she is using every minute of her free time while her man's away to make herself more attractive. She's exercising faithfully to streamline her figure. She's working towards improving her skin, too. She's all set to surprise him when he comes home. This is a good idea, for with effort we all can improve our .looks. But this should be done in moderation. 70
