Explanations After the title of the film, the producer is given, next the running time in minutes and then the date of release. Under Cast, only leading members of the cast are listed. For system of evaluating favor or disfavor of the reviews, see note at bottom of pages. In the reference to the magazine, the number of the page is first given, followed by the month, day and year. An index will be found at the end of the quarterly cumulated numbers which includes actors, actresses and directors for the productions indexed; also books, plays and short stories from which films have been adapted. Only those foreign films which are likely to be generally shown are listed. The evaluating symbols indicate the degree of favor or disfavor of each review as a whole, not just of the quoted excerpt. In evaluating films, the women's organizations use "mature" or "adults" when films are unsuited for children; "family" when suitable for all the members of a family; "young people" when suitable for adolescents from 14 to 18 years of age; "children" for those under 14. Abbreviations of producers' names and their addresses will be found in the Directory of Producers at the end of the number. When the date of release is omitted, it has not been determined by the producer. The running time as given is tabulated after projection room showings and is only an approximation of the actual release length in communities where state or local censorship may result in deletions. For final information, consult your local exchange.
