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.

Celluloid canines are assisted in their histrionic efforts from the orchestra Another frequently used device is that which describes the sound of tearing cloth. This is used mostly during comedy scenes — you know, when the bulldog catches the comedian half way over the fence To watch a celluloid baby cry is bad enough. But when a skilful performer upon this instrument makes you hear the child as well, you want to weep, too. George Beban and bambino in oval, aided by the artificial howler A quaint chromo, relic of livelier days. A scene like it on the screen is made even more heart-rending by an excellent imitation of the plop of the cork when a champagne bottle is opened
