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.

ville |f burgf? THIS is the first photograph the Williamses have had taken since he dropped Lieutenant and whipcord, to res u m e civies and Mister. Also, this is very first series of pictures of their lovely home. To those who do not know Los Angeles, let us say that the Williams' choice of a home on Wilshire Boulevard, rather than on Sunset or Hollywood or any of their adjacent streets, speaks volumes for their love of quiet and high-class conservatism. Wilshire is the aristocratic Way of social Los Angeles, a westering thoroughfare of wealth and fashion. The other streets are the brilliant avenues of filmdom itself, and are much more professional. Directly below, you may behold Marguerite Williams and a lot of other flowers. At the right of this floral observation, an apartment which might be described by almost any genius at naming things as the musicroom. 29
