We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Foreword There must be a first time for everything — and this is it in the matter of a directory of information about the Canadian motion picture industry and the roads leading to it. We hope this Year Book will reflect the status of our industry in the national life. And we do have a status. There are some things in this first edition which will not be repeated in those to follow, such as the history of the Canadian motion picture industry. Per¬ haps for that reason this one will be kept even after the next one comes out. I want to thank the many who offered to help in any way they could when they heard of our intention — and those who did. The prospect of such a book as this created mild excitement among many persons who are proud of their industry. I would like also to note that this task was undertaken at the suggestion of N. A. (Nat) Taylor — a suggestion which grew out of his interest in things Canadian. We hope to get the next Year Book out consider¬ ably earlier, now that we have the benefit of trial and error, and we hope that the improvement will surprise even us. HYE BOSSIN 5
