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.

THE PASSING OF THE AMERICAN BEAUTY LILLIAN RUSSELL, the toast of America for many years, and internationally renowned as a beauty and a personality, passed away in Pittsburgh, Pa., June sixth. The nation mourned her. She carried her remarkable beauty with her to the grave. Since her retirement from active theatricals, as Mrs. Alexander P. Moore, wife of the Pittsburgh newspaper owner, she carried on many activities. Appointed by Secretary Davis as special immigration inspector, she had just returned from a trip abroad where she studied immigration conditions. A slight injury received on 70 board ship, resulting in uremic poisoning, was the reported cause of her death. Her brilliant career as comic opera singer is known to the world. She was beloved for her vitality and brains as well as her beauty. The film world knew and loved her. Many important picture premiers in Manhattan were graced by her presence. The screen always claimed her interest, although she made but one photoplay, "Wildfire," from her stage success. Besides her husband, she is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Russell Calvert.
