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.

Pho'joim>ay Magazine — Advehtising Section With the Victrola and Victor Records you hear the greatest artists just as they wish to be heard Your interpretation of a piece of music may be in itself a highly artistic achievement, but not if superimposed on the interpretation of a master* It then would be neither one thing nor the other. The Victrola is equipped with doors so that the volume of tone may be regulated to suit varying conditions. They are not intended to be used _ in imposing amateur "interpretations" upon those of the world^s greatest artists, for that would be to lose the very thing you seek — the finest known interpretations of music. A Victor Record of Caruso is Caruso himself— provided always that some less qualified person shall not tamper with what the artist himself has done. Victrolas $25 to $1500. Victor dealers everywhere.
