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.

Above: Constance Talmadge caught at her favorite indoor sport: bobbing. She practiced on Norma, then she bobbed Natalie, her younger sister, shown here, and Dorothy Glsh Is In dally terror for fear Constance will creep up on her and cut her locks with one fell swoop of the scissors. The young lady In the circle above is strangely averse to having her picture taken. You would think that with H. B. Warner for a father, and Klta Stanwood for a mother, she would take to it like ii veteran. But Joan Warner will probably go in for literature, or interior decoration, or some really exciting profession. If it were not for the rest of the center picture, on the opposite page, you might think we had snapped Marion Davies out for a little motor ride. But she is working, poor child— for beside her is her leading man, Carlyle Blackwell, and across the page is director Kobert Leonard, with his camera. Sonny Washburn is very proud of the newest member of his family: Dwlght Ludlow. In fact. Sonny is a self-appointed guardian of tile latest arrival, and presents Top with dally reports of his progress. Bryant, Sr., and Mabel Forrest Washburn complete this group.
