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 — Advertising Section v What a cigarette meant there Down from a starless sky . . . and after hours of utter strain, a moment of utter relaxation. Safety after peril . . . rest after struggle . . . companionship after lonely vigil ... no wonder the solace of a friendly cigarette has a place of its own in men's hearts. What a cigarette means here Up from the sun-drenched earth — drowsily nourished under smiling skies, the tender leaves of tobacco ripen into gold or bronze. From what soil and rain and summer sun prepare, we select the prize lots. Aroma and fragrance from Turkey; from old Virginia and the Carolinas, rare mildness; mellow "body" from Kentucky. We "age" it and blend it . . . and from earth's choicest tobaccos we give you Chesterfield. And about six million smokers tell us it's more than worth all the trouble we take!
