We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Eleventh Edition
GENERAL REMARKS
NOTE that 16mm films are always non-flam. The 35mm films may be either flam or non-flam, hence ask Distributor specifically about this point. (See note under distributor's entry.)
No film was excluded from this edition merely because it had appeared in a previous edition. But the mass of material increases every year and selection is compulsory. The aim has been to include, within the necessary space limitations, all the new and worthwhile material possible, together with all films from previous editions that are still most actively circulated and proved to have permanent value.
Users will note some advantageous changes and additions that have been made in classification and arrangement of Groups. A selection of important Foreign Films appears on pages 127-128 (Group 139).
The Educational Screen cannot attempt to name rental or sale prices on films, for they vary endlessly. The distributor of the particular film should be consulted.
"FREE FILMS"
IN 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 (one or both ways), sometimes with further conditions stipulated. Consult the Distributor.
UNIVERSITY EXTENSION SERVICE
THE 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 such 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.
THE EDUCATIONAL SCREEN HANDLES NO FILMS It acts merely as the central clearing house for information on the whole field, both theatrical and non-theatrical.
