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.

AT tlie side of the house is a garden of multicolored flowers. It reminds you of a millionaire s conservatory in the cold countries during midwinter, except that instead of possessing glass for a roof it has the blue sky, and its -warm winds are not the exhalations of steam pipes and artificial humidors, but the breezes of the Pacific, warmed in the radiance of semi-tropic sunshine. The house itself is white, and at a 'distance it looks like a T*'hite jewel in an emerald setting. Clarks or Williams PROBABLY it's neither— or both. Mr. and Mrs. H. Palmerson Williams seem to be equal partners in their marriage concern, and while she is by no means merely an officer's wife, his activities prove that he is considerably more than merely an actress' husband. Before her marriage Miss Clark was quite averse to working on the Wesi Coast, but the possibilities of a real home in the wide spaces of yard and room which California affords seems to have completely overcome that •feeling. Her whole photoplay reputation was based on pictures made in and around New York City. At the left. Marguerite Clark — a doll figure, veritably! — in the drawing-room of her splendid house. 28
