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.

Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section Tonight the daughter of an earl — tomorrow you marry a cowboy PRESTO — you are in Normandy. You wear a velvet gown and flirt with dukes. Your lovers duel in the moonlit garden. Tomorrow night the same magic may transport you to Wyoming. In khaki you gallop over the plains — sheriffs — horse thieves — fights at the water hole and up into the saddle with dare-devil Dan and you are off into the night. * » * * Whenever you are tired of yourself and your work-a-day life — when you wish to be whisked away to other worlds — go to a Goldwyn picture. Gone are your troubles. You are the heroine — you can lead a thousand lives. One day you are a young girl blushing at her first sweetheart— the next a woman detective stalking a spy — a mother — a princess — a pampered New York wife. Goldwyn pictures are true to the simple human feelings. You laugh, you weep, you love, hate and pity. So fine are Goldwyn stars — so real are Goldwyn settings — so absorbing Goldwyn stories — you are lost in their fascination at the first flash of the picture. Never miss a Goldwyn picture. They open the door to a thousand new worlds. GOLDWYN MOTION PICTURES When you write to a(t?t'itisers please mention PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINl .
