Of first importance is the list of producing organizations as near complete as human ingenuity can devise. Would a detailed compilation of the personnel of the important studios help you in your work? Or a list of over 750 exchanges of every distributor? This listing is invaluable, with its tabulation of officers, executives, division heads and other essential information. Headquarters of all distributors are given. Also the all-important theater chains. Address and personnel of all Film Boards of Trade. A record of the organizations in various branches of the industry, with headquarters address, telephone number, officers and executives. Resident importers and exporters, foreign representatives of the Department of Commerce, distributors and producers in all foreign countries. The only published record on the foreign field available. Let's finish up with the mass of associations, societies and clubs, and your FILM DAILY YEAR BOOK stands ready at any time to tell you Who's Who — and Where.
