THE RELEASE CHART
Productions are listed according to the nannes of distributors in order that the exhibitor may have a short-cut toward such information as he may need, as well as information on pictures that are coming. Features which are finished or are in work, but to which release dates have not been assigned, are listed in "Coming Attractions." Running times are those supplied by the distributors. Where they vary, the change is probably due to local censorship deletions. Dates are 1930, unless otherwise specified.
