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.

The thin man with the lined face George Siefert, of Chicago, representing a saddlery and leather goods concern. The stout little man in the white helmet was George Drummond, of Kansas City, interested in rifles and munitions. The man with the bald head was George Hagan, of Jersey City, and his talk ran mainly to wool. Each of the three had his feet cocked up on the verandah railing, each was regard ing the scene with a sort of absorbed introspection, and each had an " , " ' ~ •==-— iced drink upon the little table in front of them. As Peggy appeared, the three heads turned simultaneously in her direction.
