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.

But, shining up everything we think important from our hair to our party pumps — we too often neglect to put a party polish on our poise. Now I know poise is another one of those foggy words — like “personality,” “popularity,” even like “charm” — brimful of meaning, yet somehow hard to define. So let us pin it down, right here and now — for without the intangible quality of poise, a girl can be as beautiful as Snow White and as brilliant as Madame Curie, yet be all alone and lonely in the middle of a crowd. To me, poise is knowing one’s own worth. The girl who knows herself, and likes herself, has poise, self-confidence and assurance enough to forget self and go forward with friendliness. You could say poise is having a reason to he where you are. The girl with poise talks as though she’s interested, walks as though she’s going somewhere. She smiles when she greets you.
