Seventh Edition FOREWORD 5 We cannot attempt to name rental prices on films, for they vary endlessly. The distributor of the particular film should be consulted. The Educational Screen itself does not handle films. It acts merely as the central clearing house for information on the whole production field of films, both theatrical and non-theatrical. 'TREE FILMS" TN THE Reference List of Producers and Distributors we have indicated as far as possible the distributors of "free" films — namely, those to be had for the payment of transportation charges both ways, sometimes with further conditions stipulated. UNIVERSITY EXTENSION SERVICE rpHE State Universities and Extension Divisions are a very important source of non-theatrical films. Space limitations absolutely forbid the listing of the immense number of films carried by these Divisions. These excellent services are entirely local, as a rule, and gladly give full information to all film-users within their zone. As much information would be largely useless to the rest of the country it is omitted here. If you are not familiar with the service of your nearest State University, do not fail to write at once for their complete literature. 16 MILLIMETER FILMS fpHE rapid growth in the use of the 16 mm. film on noninflammable stock — in both educational and entertainment subjects for home, school and church use— has received most careful attention. All distributors handling 16 mm. films, partially or exclusively, are included in the Reference List of Producers and Distributors in the back of this book. Throughout the body of the book, all films available in 16 mm. are indicated by the symbol*. In addition, on pages 97 to 123, appears a separate list (fully classified by subject, and with group numbers corresponding to those in the regular classification), giving films available only in the 16 mm. size, with their distributors indicated.
