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.

But I guess Bea finally got the idea they were really in love. They sure were shining with happiness, shining almost as brightly as Ava’s diamond necklace, the night I saw them. I kept wondering if Ava’s necklace was the one Frank gave her after he visited her in Spain. They had a wonderful time on their pre-honeymoon holiday. Frankie had his boat up there.
