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 Big Fade-Out 101 Ul tu^ UiUUs^v^ViJu^liVk ""/ c , ^'^ %ei some manager to decide the same way and you got it unanimous. " Some women don't use their heads for nothing except to keep their collars on. Some women would not think for fear of getting a bruised brain. Edith thought a little bit. She thought she had to stand for everyone in the studio making love to her, to hold her job. From the time she got there in the morning until she took the cold cream off at night, some Romeo was hanging around. George, the property man, fixed up her dressing room like the Uella Robia at the Vanderbilt — and didn't put none of the junk he bought on the expense account. Bob Stonner, the heavy man, used a policy of attrition. He just hung around her till she let him take her home one night. She gave him the air as soon as she got to the front door — but he'd won his point. I can remember that night like it was the night the gas house burned down and father let me stay up to watch it.
