THIS is the nineteenth time we have asked our readers to vote for "The Best Picture of the Year." We know you will vote with your usual enthusiasm and judgment for the picture produced during 1938 which, to your mind, had the most superb story, casting, direction, acting and photography. We will then present to the studio which produced that film the most distinguished award in the motion-picture business, Photoplay's Gold Medal.
Despite the acrimonious controversy that has raged this year about pictures and picture personalities, no one can honestly say that the studios, particularly in the last six months, have not earned the right to say in truth, "Motion Pictures Are Your Best Entertainment." It is well to remember, however, that you, the public, are judge of what is a good picture. Here is a way to register your opinion . . . Do you want to cry at the movies? Do you want to smile and forget there might be a world in which laughter comes but seldom? Do you want homespun stories that dramatize the daily lives of us all ... or do you want high-spirited tales of knights in shining armor toting off their lady in ;i shower of arrows? Do you want • of hurricane, fire, flood and wind to sweep you off your feet? Do you want musical comcopera, dancing delights or crime stories? All these sou have had this past year.
