FOREWORD
THE one question that, more than any other, is asked by those who contemplate using "movies" in nontheatrical fields is "Where can I get suitable films in sufficient numbers to supply my needs?"
Many seem to harbor the opinion that there is a scarcity of good instructional pictures. Such however is really not the case. There is, in fact, available an almost unlimited supply of excellent educational, religious, industrial and other similar non-theatrical productions. It is to acquaint non-theatrical motion picture users with these sources of supply that this booklet has been issued.
Months were spent in preparing this booklet while the list of pictures was revised and corrected at great expense, in order to obtain a really representative list of all types of usable film. Space limits alone prevent including many of the older films, some of which might be difficult to obtain. In spite of the greatest care and numerous recheckings some errors in classification and credit may have passed. Forbearance for these is hoped.
In addition to listing film this booklet contains an accurate and comprehensive list of film exchanges who exemplify the spirit of service in dealing with non-theatrical picture users. We acknowledge to them our debt for their assistance in helping to compile this booklet. But for their whole-hearted co-operation, its publication would have been a most difficult, almost impossible, undertakings. Especial credit is given to the list of reviewed and approved films supplied by the National Motion Picture League, with executive offices in Xew York City.
Preparations have been made to keep "1001 Films" thoroughly up to date. In every issue of Moving Picture Age, reviews of the latest suitable films will be published.
The regular publication of the lists of latest usable films, combined with the articles appearing regularly in Moving Picture Age will become to every reader of the magazine a reliable and up to date guide on the proper use of non-theatrical motion pictures.
In addition, the Service Department of Moving Picture Age will give its personal attention to any inquiries received from subscribers to the magazine who desire special information on their individual "movie" problems.
