REGARDING THE YEAR BOOK Filmdorn's Annual Recognized Reference Work—Now in Preparation — Out in January Cloth Bound Over 1100 Pages NUMBER YEAR BOOK READERS PROOF that the FILM DAILY YEAR BOOK has come to be recognized as the undisputed reference work of the film industry is the fact that it is recognized to be THE authority not alone by the trade but in government departments and civic organizations. It has long since become the all-year-round desk companion of producers, executives, studio officials, exchangemen, theater owners, exporters.
