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.

or PHOTOPLAY'S Padum Smart "budget" dresses for office or college wear are no easy task to find, so Photoplay brings you the cream of the crop — and all priced under $10. Lucille Ball, playing in RKO's "Room Service," models them. The bolero frock of Cynara crepe, a Duplex fabric of Eastman Acetate Yarn, with its flap pockets (top), is outstanding because it is styled so that the white pique blouse zips off the gored skirt for laundering purposes. The contrast leather belt matches the buttons on the blouse. Sizes 12 to 20 — in navy, black and Allspice (a new rust shade). Center, Lucille wears a shirtwaist frock with a box-pleated skirt. The little "push-up" sleeves are fashion's newest whim — they have cuffs of white pique to match the collar. Sizes 12 to 20 — in navy, black, brown and Allspice Cynara crepe. This two-piece frock (right) has gay collar and cuffs of candy-striped pique. Notice the scalloped blouse hemline and the skirt that is gored to a flattering fullness. Sizes 12 to 20 — in navy, brown or black Cynara crepe
