Fourth Edition
FOREWORD
THIS is the Fourth Edition of "1000 and One." It is the result of many months of work by the editorial staff of The Educational Screen in gathering data, from all sources, on , existing films. Every individual and every organization listed in the I "Reference List" on pages 106-119 of the previous edition (1924) — ' .as well as the new producing and distributing organizations which f have come into existence during the intervening two years — have I been consulted directly and repeatedly. This systematic compilation makes for still greater accuracy and completeness of film information in the present edition.
A comparison of the two editions will reveal the fact that some of the films listed in the 1924 edition appear again in this volume together with new material. No film was excluded from this issue merely because it had also appeared in the previous volume, but selection from such a mass of material was compulsory. The tendency has been to include as much new material in the various groups as was possible within the limits of the present volume.
Therefore, (1) if a film desired was listed in the previous edition, and does not appear here, it is not safe to assume that the film is unobtainable; an inquiry to The Educational Screen will bring you full information concerning it; (2) if a film is desired on any phase of a subject which does not seem to be fully represented in this edition, The Educational Screen will be at all times ready and willing to give its patrons the benefit of its large supplementary file of existing films. The publication of this file in toto would*be out of the question.
HOW TO USE "1000 AND ONE"
THE classified subject index which immediately follows these introductory pages gives the general subject headings of the groups in which the films have been classified.
In the body of the volume, the title of the film appears in bold type. The number in parentheses immediately after the title is the number of reels. The distributor of each film is indicated by the number or numbers (in Roman if the distributor has a system of exchanges; otherwise, in Arabic) at the extreme right of the last line of the description.
These numbers refer to the Reference List of Producers and Distributors on page 116 (for Roman numbers) and page 122 (for Arabic numbers) , where the exact address of each distributor is given.
