We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
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.
