ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In compiling this pictorial survey, help has been given from many quarters. The authors wish especially to record their gratitude to the British Film Academy, and to Kumari Allott of its staff, for undertaking the collection and co-ordination of the additional material for this new edition. It should also be remembered that Mr Stanley Hawes, now Head Producer at the Australian National FiJm Board, did similar work for the original edition in 1936. We also wish to express our thanks to Miss Norah Traylen (of the National Film Library, London), Mile Lottie Eisner (of the Cinematheque Frangaise, Paris), Miss Iris Barry (of the Museum of Modern Art Film Library, New York) and Mr Richard Griffith (of the National Board of Review, New York) for their help in supplying stills and data.
