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 — Advektising Section ^m/nmidck 75 Arflier I'e A great welcome for Brunswick Records Mui'ic lovers overwhelm us with orders. Tremendous eagerness shown for this latest Brunsiuick Triumph HARDLY had Brunswick records been announced than orders came in from all parts of the country — an avalanche of orders. We had planned and made preparations for what we considered a very large production. But the instant approval and the enormous demand compelled us to greatly increase our production facilities. This reception of Brunswick Records has created a sensation in the phonograph world. No welcome could be more sincere — nothing could prove more certainly the place of the House of Brirnswick in the hearts of the people. Something different in records JUST as we brought advancements in phonographs when we introduced The Brunswick several years ago, so do we again contribute to better music through improvements in recording. We come with Brunswick Records at a time when reproduction seems to have reached perfection. But you will quickly appreciate the betterments. We felt 'midst all the wonderful advance of modern recording, that there was still a final development, one that would bring complete synchronization. The outcome is remarkable. It brings hidden beauty, magnetic personality. It brings life into phonographic music that might otherwise be mechanical. Pictured here are some of our great artists — famous the world over. Their selections on Brunswick Records set new standards. Hitherto hidden qualities are now brought out sympathetically. Each Brunswick Record is interpreted by a noted director or an accomplished artist technically trained in the art of recording. Thus we bring that rare charm into Brunswick renditions which you will recognize instantly. We invite you to join the thousands of critical music lovers now judging Brunswick Records. Hear them. Make comparisons. Note their superiority. ° We're sure you'll want to add many Brunswick selections to your collection of records.
