Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. For the first forty years of its existence, Photoplay was the bible of Hollywood, the magazine the stars trusted with their most intimate secrets and the fans believed with unswerving faith. Now, for the first time, the wealth of this fascinating picture packed chronicle of the golden age of motion pictures is collected in book form, a chronological compendium of full-length articles, columns, editorials, portraits, and ads spanning four decades and covering every major film personality of a great but bygone era. Beginning with 1910, PHOTOPLAY TREASURY provides a Hollywood view of changing American tastes and interests through four decades, including two world wars and the Great Depression. Here are profiles of such early luminaries as Mary Pickford, the first and most popular star ever; Douglas Fairbanks, the dashing and romantic symbol of American masculinity; and Charlie Chaplin, the greatest genius in film history. Reflecting the excitement and energy created by the new medium are articles such as "What Every Girl Wants to Know," telling aspiring starlets how to make it in the movies, and "The Five Funniest Things in the World," never-fail techniques for keeping movie audiences in stitches. Following their favorite stars into the Roaring Twenties, Photoplay readers entered a world of flaming youth, freedom, and heretofore unmentioned sex appeal, epitomized by the quintessential flapper Clara Bow and her male counterpart Rudolph Valentine. Here are all the scandals of the twenties-Fatty Arbuckle and Mabel Normand (forerunners of Charlie Chaplin and his paternity suit, and Errol Flynn and his legal problems with star-struck teenagers)-the birth of movie censorship in the form of the Hays office, and the introduction of a Hollywood legend: Greta Garbo. Bringing the thirties and forties sharply into focus, PHOTOPLAY TREASURY brilliantly suggests the desperation of the Depression years and the avid patriotism of a country enmeshed in the Second World War. Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow, and Clark Gable were the emerging superstars and the movie musical was achieving wide prominence. Barbara Gelman has selected the most thrilling aspects of the motion-picture scene: the fiery romance between Clark Gable and Carols Lombard, the worldwide search for an actress to play Scarlett O'Hara in the monumental movie Gone With the Wind, the phenomenon of the pinup girl, and the fall of the beautiful Ingrid Bergman - censured and scorned for her illicit love affair with director Roberto Rossellini. This is a book that will thoroughly delight movie fans of all ages-those who will recall it all and those who want the pace and excitement re-created for them. It is a stunning tribute to an industry that brought glamour, glitter, opulence, and adventure to a whole nation, a record of the fantasies, hopes, dreams, and myths of a people that will be treasured by anyone interested in nostalgia, Hollywood, and the American dream.
