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.

Top: Jane Bryan, Phil Kellogg and Anita huddle over the slogans which their team will work out c Jimmy Ellison is the first martyr — in more ways than one. He has to lie down and "die" for this slogan. Left: Phil has just guessed "died" instead of the necessary "death," so Jimmy motions him forward with his hands, indicating that Phil is "getting warm." If the guess had been a far-away one, Jimmy would have hinted to Phil by a backward hand motion. "Where" oh where — this one takes a frantic expression (left, bottom) plus a frantic effort (right, bottom) to enact "sting" — which leaves Don Terry, Anita, Gertrude Durkin, Jane and Phil in a state of suppressed emotion
