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.

Again: Bill gazes soulfully at dapper Charlie McCarthy, that infamous "big piece of Grade B lumber" by SARA HAMILTON j THAT MAN'S HERE AGAIN Yes, tny little chickadees, it's Bill Fields — the man who wouldn't let the world forget THERE'S something in the very air of Hollywood — a zip, a chuckle, a snap that only a week before was lacking. Natives are crawling out from their hibernating gloom, their faces all set for a laugh. There's good humor everywhere. And all because That Man's Here Again. Yes sir, Bill Fields is back. Back not only to take up where he left off, but to go on from there, bantering over the air to millions of listeners. Already people are saying, "Say, did you hear Fields' latest crack about his pernicious dandruff? And the one about the doctor over at Bill's hospital who treated a patient for three years for yellow jaundice before he discovered the suffering man was a Chinaman?" [please turn to page 103 1 16
