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.

Date with son Terry: It’s not always as quiet as this one! Date with friend Charlotte Greenwood-. Chatting in the sun Date with her dressing table — for scene in “Calamity Jane” Date with husband Marty — and the best date of all > • Ask anyone lucky enough to grab a few minutes with Doris Day and you’ll learn it’s like getting a new charge out of life. Especially on her own ground! The atmosphere’s so relaxed you wonder if you’re at the wrong house no star’s home could be like this! You may find Marty Melcher having his umpteenth cup of coffee in the kitchen while wife Dodo is busy rehearsing the next day’s scene in another room. Or maybe Dodo is in the backyard, giving son Terry a workout at volleyball. Or just sitting on the lawn, chatting cosily over cakes and coffee with a friend — her freckles getting browner by the minute. And, sharing in the happiness around her, you’ll know why these are the dates that matter to Dodo, who makes movies for a living, but makes her home a place where two fellows Marty and Terry are really living!
