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.

It is spacious enough for Will Rogers to fling a nasty rope, but the stars are objecting because there is no jitney service from the boulevard, where they have to park their cars, to their dressing rooms. This might be a quiet village street in France, or the stables and garages of a multimillionaire's home, or something else, but the fact is it is Directors Ro-w at the Brunton Studios, Melrose Avenue, Hollywood. The Metro Studio in Hollywood is, as you may be able to decipher from the street sign post, at the corner of Cahuenga Ave. and Romaine St. The sign half way down the block warns you not to park your car on that side of the street. This is to permit Maxwell Karger plenty of room for outbursts of temperament. Nvhich he employs to counterbalance those of the stars. I tJ •^ v»
