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.

Claire Windsor Gloria Swanson Eleanor Boardman ■•!&JKil! w—' flU 'l-'5»_ AjLliL Erwl a^ ■ Top, left to right: Claire Windsor — streamline, 1923 version. Gloria, in stripes, sits on that new Continental fad — "the seat cane"; just a satin sport dress for Eleanor — the shoe buckles give it that "dressy" touch. The instigator of the "frantic scramble" for those dazzling Russian boots — Pola Negri; the Brent allure of a bandeau, a fan and a curve; Garbo, exponent of the "strictly tailored" mode — with bulges; the dramatic splendor of a little number for the rain, complete with high boots, patent-leather bag, doghandled umbrella. A coy glimpse of the lingerie era — Alice White; chic (and shapeless) is this dress with a pleated ruffle dangling demurely above dimpled knees. Second row: the s. a. of flapper Clara Bow — two-piece hand-blocked allure with "spit curl" trimming. The "Letty Lynton" dress, the perfect example of what made Joan Crawford the ideal of all Charleston dancing daughters in America
