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.

"Look at this," he commanded. Patsy obligingly read it. " 'Vote for Stephen Burley for Mayor.' Why, you can't, Harry, you're not old enough." '"I don't want to V o t e for h i m. I wouldn't vote for him if I could. But that's fame. Patsy ! Some da\ my name is going to be on the handbills, running for Mayor." Patsy's blue eyes opened wide. "You don't say !" "I do say!
