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.

Once he has been pushed around a bit by Director Litvak, he is ready to push around his intended, Bette — and the Teddy Roosevelt Glide is right in swing. Reminiscent of the time when mother was a girl, "The Sisters," Warners' adoption of Myron Brinig's popular best seller, will make young moderns chuckle, older moderns sigh for the days of the buggy and bustle
