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.

When Miss Tashman steps out to a Hollywood film premiere in this costume, the crowd in front of the theater sets up a loud hurrah “And so to bed,” in a negligeenightgown made of black lace. The nightgown is worn with a matching coat of chiffon. But one doesn’t sleep in the coat, even on the coldest nights. This boudoir costume represents Mr. Greer’s revolt against the pajama suit which, he believes, is lacking in feminine charm Any woman who couldn’t be happy in this evening gown is just an old crosspatch.
