We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
In addition to the acknowledgements made in the first edition of this book, which do not need to be reprinted, I am indebted in this revised edition to the many people who from time to time since 1930 have pointed out errors of fact in the original text. From many parts of the world, correspondents have sent valuable information and the new text has, as far as possible, been changed to meet their facts. My thanks are especially due to the directors and staffs of the Museum of Modern Art Film Library, New York, the Cinematheque Franchise, Paris, the National Film Library, London, Dansk Kulturfilm, Copenhagen, the Czechoslovak Film Institute, Prague, and the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures, New York, for their unlimited help. These bodies, which are doing such fine work in the preservation of films, making them available for study, collecting data about film history and generally aiding in creating a wider appreciation of good films, have supplied me with much factual information and loaned stillphotographs.
