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.

34 Photoplay Magazine It has been rightly said that black satin is the most striking color. And indeed ^vho would not look ^vlth special interest at a black satin frock having a lace underskirt and trimmings of jet where it is set off by the gleaming whiteness of beautiful neck and arms. Frances knew this Tvhen she designed it. n Norma Talmadge is )ust the type to bring out the gracefulness of this draped frock. Satin -with the most lustrous sheen is used for the girdle and cleverly draped skirt vi^hile georgette of matching color forms the waist collared and cuffed with the daintiest of net and lace. A single ornament -with an enormous tassel is the only trimming a model so clever as she requires. There is nothing left to be desired in furs w^hen one is the happy possessor of this coat from Russek's. Baby lamb being the material it is easily draped and so in draping this coat gets its smart effect. The voluminous sleeves in kimono style are -widely cuffed -with chinchilla and this same fur makes the cape collar of unusual shape.
