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.

BIG AS THE OF HUMANITY IT'S an amazingly interesting picture, this latest production l>v the man who made "Mother Machree,” "Hangman’s House,’’"3 Bad Men'and’The Iron Horse." Interesting in that the director has in one picture made a world celebrity of an unknown — an extra girl repulsed and rebuffed for ten years in Hollywood. They’re calling Margaret Mann a sixtyyear-old Cinderella. Patiently she worked and waited since 1917 for her big chance. Opportunity knocked just once — and you should see the old lady grab the hall and run for a touchdown! Hers is the one outstanding performance of the year! You'll love Margaret Mann. Keep an eye on these four sons — the stars of tomorrow. Watch for Charles Morton in Murnau’s forthcoming "4 Devils." Discriminating theatre-goers have learned to expect fine films from Fox — pioneer of sound on film — >1#V1ET#\'E
