NEW CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY OF FILM SOURCES 50c per Copy Send Order to Directory Editor '^SUnm vv^"^^ W ever before has there been such a clear cut Subject-Source Index with its many classifications and divisions tabulated in a film directory. It is unquestionably the most comprehensive film selection list ever published. Instead ot the user wading through many classifications to find a certain subject, this New Directory permits him to consult the Subject-Source Index, where, under the proper subject headings, he will find a list of sources that have such films available . . . l)oth silent and with sound. Sources are numbered and user then consults source listings to determine what each source can supply. Another noteworthy innovation is an enlarged editorial section that provides pertinent information and data on all non-theatrical applications of the motion picture . . . featuring, in particular, the educational field. This edition of the VICTOR Directory is the result of thousands of requests for a continuation of this VICTOR service to 16mm. users. As VICTOR was the first to publish a film directory years ago, it now carries on with the most complete and helpful film directory ever published.
