San Francisco, California 2006 DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Title: The title of the film is given as it appears on the film. If a film is known by other titles cross references are made in the index to the title given.

Length: Length is given in minutes when obtainable. Otherwise number of reels is given.

Width: Width is given by the figures 16 and 35 and the abbreviation "mm" is omitted as our collaborators agreed that it was unnecessary.

Sound: Sound* films are indicated by the abbreviation "sd"; silent by "si".

Stock: For the 35mm films inflammable is indicated by the abbreviation "f" and safety stock by "nf". Since all 16mm films are on safety stock these abbreviations have been omitted in the descriptions of these films.

Price: Both sales and rental prices have been given in so far as possible. Omission of rental price in the main entry indicates that producer does not rent the film. "Loan" instead of price is indicative of a film sent free except for transportation charges. "Apply" instead of price has been used when rates and conditions vary and it is necessary to apply to producer for prices.

Date: The copyright date is given when it was obtainable but in some cases the re- lease date is given instead.

Producer: The producer or authorized distributor given is the one now owning or having access to the negative of the film. A list of producers and distributors is given at the end of this supplement.

Distributor: The italic line following some of the entries tells where films may also be rented, giving information obtainable at time of going to press. Symbols are used for distributors' names, a key to which with full information on rates will be found at the end of this supplement.

Guide: "Guide" is used to indicate the guide for the teacher with which many films prepared for educational purposes are accompanied.

Printed in the United States of America PREFACE

This is the first annual Supplement to the second edition of the Educational Film Catalog. It is a cumulated number containing all of the material of the January, April and July 1940 quarterly Supplements and some new material. For a complete up-to-date file you now need only the second edition, published in 1939, and this volume. All others may be discarded.

Necessary corrections in prices, etc. have been made and films with- drawn from circulation by producers have been withdrawn from this catalog also. Although most of the films here listed have been viewed in our projection room, continuing with our practice of viewing all films which we began for the July Supplement, only a few of the notes used in the January and April Supplements have been changed because of the expense of making such changes. If the note used seemed inaccurate or inadequate, however, it was changed or augmented.

Eighty-six books on films, photography, sound recording and related subjects are listed in the Book review section, page vii.

The compilers and the H. W. Wilson Company again thank the col- laborators who have helped with advice and film reviewing. A list of those who checked the lists and helped in many ways is given on the following page.

Thanks are also due to the producers and distributors who have been most cooperative in sending their films to us for our reviewing purposes and in keeping us well informed of their film activities.

The clerical work has been capably done by Romaine Schneeloch and Ellen M. Mullen.

Length: Length is given in minutes when obtainable. Otherwise number of reels is given.

Width: Width is given by the figures 16 and 35 and the abbreviation "mm" is omitted as our collaborators agreed that it was unnecessary.

Sound: Sound films are indicated by the abbreviation "sd"; silent by "si".

Price: Both sales and rental prices have been given in so far as possible. Omission of rental price in the main entry indicates that producer does not rent the film.

Date: The copyright date is given when it was obtainable but in some cases the release date is given instead. A date followed by a question mark (e.g. 1929?) means that the date is probably the release date but definite and conclusive information was not obtainable.
