AUTHOR'S NOTE I wish to express my gratitude for the most kindly consideration and help which I have received from individuals inside the trade. Chief among them is Mr. Marcus Loew, of Loew Incorporated and MetroGoldwyn-Mayer Pictures, one of the doyens of the American business, without whose co-operation, encouragement, and friendliness in giving exceptional facilities I should never have dared to set down any account of the film in America. Most of the photographs are reproduced by the courtesy of one or other of the following film organisations: Paramount Famous-Lasky Film Corporation > Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, First National, United Artists, Charles Chaplin Film Corporation, the Gaumont Company, Universum Film A.G. and Sovkino. I also received much help from Sir William Jury, Mr. A. George Smith (of the London office of Producers' Distributing Corporation), Mr. Walter Wanger (of the Paramount Famous-Lasky headquarters in New York), Dr. Becker (head of the foreign department of Universum Film A.G. in Berlin), Mr. Fellner (of Messrs. Fellner and Sonito, Berlin), and Mr. E. W. Fredman, who was kind enough to read my proofs. Vll
