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.

YOUR PHOTOPLAY Jane Powell ( next in “ Baby Needs Shoes”) and Geary Steffen will long remember last Christmas ! Bound for Palm Springs for the holidays, Janie, at the last minute, remembered she hadn’t ordered . . . . . . Christmas cards! She dashed to her stationer. He agreed to print cards overnight and mail them. Gratefully, Janie gave him her list. She and Geary... . . . had a wonderful time at Palm Springs — hated to leave. But Jane was due to start production. Arriving home New Year’s Eve, they were fust going to bed when the bell rang. Jane opened the... . . . door. In swarmed a crowd of friends! “ Happy New Year,” they cried. “How did you like our formal notes of acceptance?” one girl asked. “We tried to get you on the phone but . . .” P Jane dashed to her desk. In her mail were the formal notes. Also, a letter from her stationer — marked URGENT. A mistake had been made, he wrote. An .. . . . . order for party invitations had been mixed with her order! Jane blinked — then began to laugh. “ Who cares! Happy New Year!” she cried. “ Let’s raid the frozen food locker — this is one party that can’t be kept on ice!” 102
