Complete Record of Current Films
Believing the classification of film pictures by the nature of their subjects to be of greater importance to the exhibitor than classification by maker, Motography has adopted this style in listing current films. Exhibitors are urged to make use of this convenient tabulation in making up their programs. Films will be listed as long in advance of their release dates is possible. Film manufacturers are requested to send us' their bulletins as early as possible. Reasonable care is used, and the publishers cannot be responsible for errors. Synopses of current films are not printed in Motography, as they may be obtained of the manufacturers.
