SER VI SECTION THE CHECK-UP of all Features and Short Subjects as reviewed and compiled during the past 12 months Published every second week ss a separately bound and easily saveable section of MOTION PICTURE EXHIBITOR. This exclusive 29 year old service lists by (1) Distribution Source and by (2) Alphabet, all professional motion pictures offered for dating by the nation's theatres, plus all those that are in production. Each new issue is a complete, carefully checked reference index, brought up-to-date, from the best avail¬ able sources. Complete and detailed REVIEWS are published as separately bound and easily saveable pink paper sections, on the alternating every second week throughout the fttm season (September to September), and are cumulatively numbered. It is recommended that readers save this SERVISECTION reference for only the two week interval between issues, and then discard it as antiquated data. The pink paper REVIEWS, however, should be permanently saved and assembled into complete files, by seasons, and the last issues of each August will always contain a complete annual index. Combined, the yellow paper SERVISECTION and the pink paper REVIEWS represent a unique informative service to theatremen that is unequalled in either accuracy or completeness. Please address all inquiries or suggestions about these two service features to the Editors of MOTION PICTURE EXHIBITOR, 317 N. Broad St., Philadelphia, Penna. 19107.
