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.

Louise Piatt, soon to be seen in Paramount's "Spawn of the North," models three fall frocks. Chic black (top) in a tailored frock, with a four-inch panel of embroidery reaching from pocket to hem. The dress closes in back from neck to waist with bone buttons. Center, a Jack Rose colored model: the skirt is a novel combination of knife and box pleats (stitched at the edges from waist to hem); the blouse (note insert) has long reversed darts used as dressmaker detail and self-corded pocket edgings. This and the black frock described above are of Stroock's Ankara doth — a new wool with a soft finish like angora. Right, a dress of "bronze lustre" green — a lovely shade of Stroock's Ankara cloth. The blouse has smartly tucked motif, a circle neckline; the skirt, knife-pleated, has sharp stitching at the pleat edges.
