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 Who's Been Shoppin Pictures that show us how w^e w^ould appear w^ere w^e as fair as Norma Talmadge and as well gowned. Suggestive of war-time days is the smart little hat with its militarylike visor which Miss Talmadge wears at such a bewitching angle. Of gold embroidered brocade shot \vith black; it is very up to date with its monkey fur and raw ostrich feather trimming placed at the top of the crOMvn. Miss Talmadge chooses for her evening wrap a gorgeous affair of black and silver brocade. Forming a most becoming background is the large collar of black velvet which is also used to face the sides. Monkey fur, of course, is the trimming, but to enhance its silky blackness a fringe of heavy silver cord is used under each row of fur There is nothjBg to take the place of a smartly taillored trotteur and this is the type of frock which Miss Talmadge so very effectively wears for the busy hours of the day. Of puritan-like simplicity, it has a narrow collar and cuffs and a tucked vestee of sheerest organdy. The black grosgrain ribbon tie is an attractive addition. S5
