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.

Beginning in 1921, Photoplay bestowed its annual 'Medal of Honor' for the film readers voted as the best of the year. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011.

"Well," came the answer, "she's blonde and has blue eyes. Sort of medium in build." So are a thousand and one extras in Hollywood! Now that I've seen and talked to Connie, I can add a few items to the studio's description of her.
