fT,His, the 32nd edition of The Film Daily Year Book of Motion Pictures, makes its appearance as the great American film industry it serves is resolutely engaged in charting new courses to meet the requirements of economic changes both without and within. ☆ The separation of exhibition from production and distribution, to the accompaniment of innovations in trade practices; the mushrooming of the drive-in theater, the trend towards the so-called art house, the challenges of television — all these are domestic developments influencing the industry in this year of grace, 1950. And overseas, the tide of nationalism. growing in power, adds to the shaping forces here. ☆ These and other developments are reflected accurately in the thousand-odd pages which follow to fully qualify the 32nd edition as the industry’s standard reference hook and encyclopedic volume. T-'T The departments and sections which long have been standbys reflect full and careful revision in consultation with established industry authorities. ☆ To THE STAFF and all those contributors in many lands who have assisted go our sincere thanks.
