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.

THEY WOULDN'T TAKE A DARE When Vivian Martin adopted a ukulele to raise as her very own, there were mutterings of dissatisfaction around the Lasky lot, but no thought of violence. Then \\'allie Reid, who had tamed everything from a near-Cremona to a Honolulu groaner, took unto himself a saxaphone. It would have been all to the good if he had left it home but the neighbors were getting uneasy. The accompanying Staggograph was taken just before the mob, led by Tully Marshall, cornettist of the Hollywood Silver Cornet Band, and Lou-Tellegen, closed in on thern and smothered the duet. 24
