432 MOTION PICTURES FOR INSTRUCTION poration, contains over five hundred excellent subjects in agriculture, Americanization, aviation, biography, child welfare, education, forestry, health and hygiene, history, home economics, industries, juvenile, literature, science and travel, but they are printed on inflammable stock and too widely scattered for reliable listing. The ownership of the negatives is difficult to determine. The breaking up of this valuable library is a striking example of the financial difficulties encountered by all non-theatrical producers. Further information may be procured from Thos. A. Baskerville, Receiver, American Motion Picture Corporation, 126 W. 46th St., N. Y The Apollo Film Co. of Newark, N. J., seems to have the greatest number of the prints, for both sale and rent. The Library of the Urban Popular Classics was announced to include educational subjects of more than a thousand reels in geography, nature study (science), industry, history and recreation. A large number of these have been issued, but unfortunately Mr. Urban 's production plans were interrupted by financial difficulties. The author 's efforts to trace the possession of the negatives, and to distinguish those already issued from those not yet produced have been unavailing. All he can say is that the Urban Popular Classics are of a very high order, and prints of them are scattered among a number of non-theatrical exchanges throughout the country. The best known of these reels are the Great American Author Series, several of which are included in the Film Libraries given in Chapter II. This series can be secured from Pictorial Clubs, Inc., 350 Madison Ave., New York City. Great American Statesmen is a companion series. The Urban Popular Classics are handled by the Spiro Film Corporation, Irvington-on-Hudson, N. Y.
