This new publication is a mon- umental L2.56-page catalog that lists U'ore than 5().(H)0 motion pictures reg- istered in the copyright office from 1912 through 19.39. Entitled Motion Pictures, 1912-1939. the catalog con- tains much information that has up until now been available only after ]>rolonged research in the files of the copyright office. As time passes and old producing companies and their films are forgot- ten, this volume will become increas- ingly valuable as a reference book on films and film historv. The informa- tion given about each film includes, insofar as possible, the sponsor, infor- mation about the published work on which the film was based, physical description, credits, claimant and date of copyright, and the author of the film storv. The material for the en- tries, which are listed alphabetically, was obtained mainlv from the record books of the copyright office, the orij;- inal applications for the registration of the copvright claims, and descrip- tive material that was supplied at tbi- time the films were registered. The cumulative catalog has a 260- page index, which lists the individuals and organizations associated with each motion picture, and a '"Series List." which provides the name of the copy- right claimant and the title and date for each motion picture of a series. Anv particular film may be located in a variety of ways—by title, producing company, copyright claimant, alter- nate title, name of the work on which the film was based. .«eries title, author of the film story, sponsor, and releas- ing or distributing agents. Motion Pictures. 1912-1939 is the first publication in the cumulative se- ries of the Catalog of Copyright En- tries. Work has started on a supple- mentar\ volume that will cover motion pictures copy righted in the years 1940 to 1949. These two cumulative vol- umes and the subsequent semiannual issues of motion pictures and film- strips in the regular series of the Catalog of Copyright Entries will con- stitute a comprehensive bibliography of Inited States motion pictures from 1912 to date.
