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.

Goldwyn aimed his cameras — the cowboy meets the Eastern debutante on a Texas cattle ranch; thinks she's a servant; marries her. Even after discovering her real identity, he-man Cooper is equal to his role — and the East meets the West to form a new pattern of romance, and, incidentally, a new marquee team in the bigger and better Goldwyn fashion V-
