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.

When I came to “beautiful” I knew I didn’t have to look any further. I settled for that one. Janie’s womanliness goes far beyond the shadowy two dimensions you see on the screen. Or the more substantial, and infinitely more delightful, three dimensions that dunk themselves in our pool. Janie thinks and reasons and reacts like a woman.
