Clarence Brown directing Greta Garbo and Gavin Gordon in " Romance." THE' FILMGOERS' ANNUAL 1932 Edited by WILLIAM A. MUTCH Film Critic to the "Daily Mail " and the "Sunday Dispatch." Pag* Index to Contents 3 75 Stars of the Screen !52 << \, SIMPKIN MARSHALL, LIMITED Stationers' Hall Court, London, E.C.4 INCE, in its compilation, this annual departs from the form of any other book having the cinema as its theme, I should explain that its purpose is to be a record of those outstanding talking pictures which will be generally seen by filmgoers at this time. Omissions, in such a vast field, have been inevitable, but, taking, as a starting point, the profound interest which exists everywhere in the great personalities of the screen, I have sought to build towards such of these stars as have been proved to stand most highly in your favour, and, in so far as these stars of the screen are concerned, I have tried to illustrate their work by reference to their latest achievements. If you will find, within these pages, but one-tenth part of the joy I have had in their compilation, then what has been an exacting duty will have been very richly rewarded. At least I can say that The Filmgoers' Annual is offered in all sincerity as a tribute to that brilliant company of talking picture players to which you and I are indebted for many hours of happiness. W. A. Mutch.
