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.

NOEL COWARD (above), the Englishman named for Christmas and noted for all-around genius, gives us this year for Christmas the greatest picture of men at sea to come out of this war, "In Which We Serve." It is the powerful, poignant life story of a British destroyer, the H.M.S. Torrin, and her heroic finish in the waters of the Mediterranean, told in terms of the lives of the courageous British seamen who give her the last measure of their devotion. Coward, who plays her Captain, has written and produced the picture as part of his allimportant work in British propaganda, his "Cavalcade" of Britain at sea. This is good-by: A seaman takes leave of his wife, his England, and sails away to war This is imminent death: The crew of the Torrin fighting the sea for their lives This is the courage of noble men^The Captain and his men sing Christmas carols at sea
