ACKNOWLEDGMENT I should like to express my thanks to the various persons who have supplied me with valuable information for inclusion in this survey. My particular gratitude goes to Mr. John Grierson and Mr. Robert Flaherty for their enlightening remarks on the cinema in general, whilst I should like to record my appreciation of the many publicity departments of film companies, both in London and abroad, for the facilities kindly given. The illustrations are reproduced by kind permission of the following firms : Atlas, British Instructional Films Ltd., Deutsche-First-National, Metro-GoldwynMayer, Paramount, Radio Pictures, Ufa, United Artists, Universal, Wardour, and the Empire Marketing Board. Most of the film strips out of which the wrapper of this book has been designed were supplied by the Empire Marketing Board, and are reproduced by courtesy of H.M. Stationery Office. The photographic work was carried out by Studio Film Laboratories. Lastly, I take this opportunity of conveying my sincere thanks to Mr. J. R. Fawcett Thompson and to my wife for their indispensable help in proof-reading and indexing, and to my publishers for their co-operation in producing this book. P.R. xiu
