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.

A Real Indian Princess IN "Hitchy Koo 191Q," the third edition of the annual Raymond Hitchcock revue now playing in Manhattan, there is a new terpsichorean sensation. In the costume of an Indian girl— head-dress, moccasins, beads and blanket, she leaps on the stage and convinces the audienceeven the most skeptical— that she is, indeed, a member of the copper-colored race. And the audience is right. She is Princess White Deer, a real Indian girl, from the Iroquois Reservation near Malone, N. Y. Her grandfather is Running Deer, who keeps a hotel in the Adirondacks ; and her father was a truck farmer. She rebelled at wedding an Indian buck, fled to New York and began dancing. She danced in Germany and in Russia. Then she came back to America, dancing in cabarets when "Hitchy" found her. 10s
