"1000 and One"
THE EDUCATIONAL SCREEN HANDLES NO FILMS It acts merely as the central clearing house far information on the whole field, both theatrical and non-theatrical.
FOREWORD
This is the Eleventh Edition of "1000 and One Films." Every known producer and distributor of film, both theatrical and nontheatrical — whether an individual, a firm, or an organization — has been consulted directly and repeatedly. Our method of gathering data and information from all these sources has been so perfected through the successive editions of "1000 and One" that we confidently offer this Eleventh Edition as better than any preceding.
HOW TO USE "1000 AND ONE"
First, consult the Classified Subject Index on pages 9, 10, 12, 14.
This will refer you direct to the pages and groups carrying the subjects you seek.
Information on each film is there given as follows :
(1) The title of the film appears in bold type.
(2) The number of reels follows in parenthesis.
(3) Then follow brief data on the film.
(4) Distributors of the film are indicated by numbers at extreme right, referring to the Reference List on pages 133-144.
(5) Symbols used with distributor-numbers give information
as to form in which the Distributor has the film.
• means 16mm. sound. © means 16mm. silent. A means 35mm. sound. A means 35mm. silent.
Each symbol applies to all distributor-numbers — one or more — r between it and the next symbol. Note that each symbol has one specific meaning, hence several symbols are often used on one film. A distributor having a film in both sizes, and both "silent" and "sound," will have all jour symbols before his distributor-number.
Practically all "sound" is now "onfilm" — for 16mm as well as 35mm. " Soundon-disk" has almost reached the vanishing point, j // the note under the Distributor {pages 133-144) mentions "disk," C write him regarding particular film desired. Otherwise you may expect "sound" subjects to be "sound-onfilm."
