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.

Jonc for Photoplay Magazine by Pierre Nuyttens. Robert G. Vignola WE chink liighlyol Robert G Vignola — because when his name appears on the screen as a director of a picture, we are sure of an hour's clean, wholesome and enjoyable entertainment; because he has never permitted himself to be placarded as the "Master of the Screen Art" or the "Wizard of the Silver Sheet '; because he knows motion pictures from the original thought to their last scene; because he is one of the most conscientious craftsmen whom we have ever met ; because he will not talk about himself: because he has never resorted to the tricks of chicanery and selfishness that have put many a director's name in electric lights on Broadway; because he possesses all the finer and better qualities of the Latin Race; because he directed "The Thirteenth Commandment, " "The World and His Wife, " and "The Woman God Changed, " just completed, starring Seena Owen and E. K. Lincoln. 7?
