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.

A true Psyche and yet — a nice girl the admiring natives. Helene spent some time there on her visit east. She doesn't use much make-up on the street, but she has bobbed hair. That's the only thing "radical" you would be likely to note about her — if bobbing the hair is any longer "radical." I guess even the most old-fashioned folks would not hold that against her. While she has been acting since she was very young she has never had a speaking part — all her histrionic work has been in pictures, though she confesses to an ambition to use her voice. The gods have been kind in granting her those gifts which make for assured success and long popularity with the picture public. Nothing meteoric nor smashing in her acting, but a winsome, sympathetic appeal that stirs the emotions of her audience, and an intelligent understanding and interpretation of her roles. Of such qualities are great actors made. Helene Chadwick's large screen following is taken as a matter of course And in her private life she gives one the impression of being as delightfully sincere and unaffected as she does on the screen. Just, in other words, a Nice Girl. Celluloid success has brought to Helene this ?nodest little Hollywood bungalow. Everything short of a marble castle is called a bungalow in sunny California
