MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY
Foreword
The date, 'presented in this report have been assembled from "both government and private sources. Host of the government data used have "been taken from publications of the Bureau of the Census, but data have also been taken from reports of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Among the private sources, the most important are the Motion Picture Almanac, the Film Daily Yearbook, reports of the Standard Statistics Company, and the trade association, the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc .
The organization of this study is somewhat different from that called for in the Outline for Evidence Studies. The Industry as codified included the production, distribution, and exhibition of moving pictures, and it has been considered advisable to follow the Outline through separately for each of these divisions. The present study therefore consists of four parts: Part I, Introduction, in which certain material pertaining to the Industry as a whole is presented; and Part II, Production; Part III, Distribution; and finally, Part III, Exhibition. The particular Census publications used in describing each of the three main divisions of the Industry are as follows: Production, Census of Manufactures; Distribution, Census of Uholesale Distribution; and' _ Exhibition, Census of American Business, ."Services", Amusements, and Hotels",
The Census data are considered roughly applicable to the appropriate division of the Industry as codified. The fact that the Census coverage toes not include the smaller establishments is not held significant in this Industry. As pointed out in the text, however, Census data and those from private sources often indicate large discrepancies which are presumably due to the fact that the latter are frequently estimates and to difference in the coverage of the two sets of date..
