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 early the first morning, he was awakened by . . . ... all the time?” Gordon groaned. His wife, Sheila, assured him it did. “Why don’t we go up to Carmel?” she suggested. “Then you can sleep as late as you wish . . . . . . and sun on the beach.” Gordon was enthusiastic. He and Sheila packed their bags and arranged for a nurse to stay with the children. But at Carmel, the beach was . . . p . . . swarming with kids who bounced balls on his head, dogs that shook sand in his eyes, teenagers clamoring for autographs. “Let’s get away from here,” said Gordon . . . . . . after the first day.
