Educational film magazine; (January-December 1920)

URBAN • POPULAR • CLASSICS TO AMERICAN EDUCATORS: In this original problem which confronts us all today, viz: How best can we make and supply Educational Pictures to the Schools, the first difficulty that con- fronts us, after the pictures are made, is: How can we best distribute these pictures to the Schools. We have many inquiries from Schools, Churches, Centers, etc., zisking for URBAN "MOVIE CHATS" and "REVIEWS," but plainly it is impossible for us to send these films, let us say to Oklahoma or Oregon, on account of the transpor- tation charges, among other things, which would be excessive from New York, Furthermore, we believe in selling our films rather than charging a rental each time they are used. This gives the School an opportunity to form a permanent Library so that each year it can supply to its new scholars its ever-interesting subjects. Many Schools, however, are not able, at the present, to afford the outright purchase of a great niunber of films—hence the value to our American Educational Institutions of the Film Libraries, which I mentioned in the Convention issue of the Educational Film Magazine. Would you kindly, in the interest of all concerned, send me the names of any reliable distributors of short reel subjects that you know of in your territory, so that we may at the earliest date, obtain reliable amd effective distributing centers, thus saving you time and expense in obtaining your films. This service will be appreciated by, Yours very truly. &^, President. KINETO COMPANY OF AMERICA, Inc PUBLISHERS Distributors for New York and New Jersey CINEMA CLASSICS, Inc. .482 Bro^way.
