Description: "Created by the War Department's Commission on Training Camp Activities, Liberty Theatres aimed to produce "morally uplifting" plays and movies for thousands of troops, but they became little more than public relations ploys. This volume provides an in-depth look at the 42 Liberty Theatres created by the War Department from 1917 to 1919"--Provided by publisher.
