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.

Below, Eddie Lowe, Bing Crosby, Eadie Adams, Carole Lombard and Gable. (Carole keeps hoping that nag Gable gave her will win a race.) On this page, top and across, Cary Grant, Sally Eilers and Hal give the hilly billy band some stiff competition, and Randy Scott, another big stable owner v/as on hand too. Below are the Warner Baxters, and Mrs. Lubitsch chatting with her husband and Mervyn LeRoy. Right, Harold Lloyd and Mary Brian got the vague idea that George Jessel was a donkey in disguise 29
