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.

BILL CURRIN, Like Most of the Other Independent Tobacco Experts, Smokes Luckies Mr. Smoker: You say most of these tobacco experts smoke Luckies? Mr. Lucky Strike: Yes, 2 to 1 over all other brands combined. Sworn records prove it. Mr. Smoker: How many of these tobacco experts work for you? Mr. L. S.: Not one! They're all independent tobacco men. Auctioneers, buyers, and warehousemen. Mr. Smoker: Are these men the best judges of tobacco? Mr. L. S.: You bet they are! Just for example, there's Bill Currin. He's been an auctioneer for 16 years, and has sold millions of pounds of tobacco. Mr. Smoker: And Currin smokes Luckies? Mr. L. S.: Yes — and has for 15 years. Not only for their fine tobacco, but because of the "Toasting" process. Mr. Smoker: What does that do? Mr. L. S.: It takes out certain harsh irritants found in all tobacco — makes Luckies a light smoke, easy on the throat. Mr. Smoker: That sounds good to me. I'll try them.
