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.

NORMA SHEARER DRESSES FOR DINNER--AND LATER ยป . M % // ON the warmth and richness of red cut velvet alone depends the dramatic value of Norma's musketeer evening cape. A broad bias shoulder roll and an upstanding collar suggest a cape. Note the jeweled twin clips. The gown is soft white suede crepe NORMA'S preference for beauti fu I fabric, good line and simplicity is emphasized in a dinner dress of white frost crepe, embroidered in gold thread. An accordion pleated underskirt peeping from a slit in the back skirt is the only frivolous touch. Peaked turban in velvet THE loveliest of stars in a gracious dinner gown of gold lame. Again, only the metal cloth and cut are depended on for a strong note of chic and sophistication. Norma's high neckline is a fashion favorite for dinner gowns, and the almost school-girlish collars are accompanied by small trains. Designsby Adrian J*l
