(Physical Distributor, Pathe Exchange Inc.) Fourth Edition FOREWORD "1000 THIS is the Fourth Edition of and One." It is the result of many months of work by the editorial staff of The Educational Screen in gathering data, from all sources, on listed the , existing films. Every individual and every organization in I "Reference List" on pages 106-119 of the previous edition (1924) — ' .as well as the new producing and distributing organizations which years have f have come into existence during the intervening two — I been consulted directly and repeatedly. This systematic compilation makes for still greater accuracy and completeness of film information in the present edition. A comparison of the two editions will reveal the fact that some of the films listed in the 1924 edition appear again in this volume together with new material. No film was excluded from this issue merely because it had also appeared in the previous volume, but selection from such a mass of material was compulsory. The tendency has been to include as much new material in the various groups as was possible within the limits of the present volume. Therefore, (1) if a film desired was listed in the previous edition, and does not appear here, it is not safe to assume that the film is unobtainable; an inquiry to The Educational Screen will bring you full information concerning it; (2) if a film is desired on any phase of a subject which does not seem to be fully represented in this edition, The Educational Screen will be at all times ready and willing to give its patrons the benefit of its large supplementary file of existing films. The publication of this file in toto would*be out of the question. HOW TO USE "1000 AND ONE" THE classified subject index which immediately follows these introductory pages gives the general subject headings of the groups in which the films have been classified. In the body of the volume, the title of the film appears in bold type. The number in parentheses immediately after the title is the number of reels. The distributor of each film is indicated by the number or numbers (in Roman if the distributor has a system of exchanges; otherwise, in Arabic) at the extreme right of the last line of the description. These numbers refer to the Reference List of Producers and Dis- tributors on page 116 (for Roman numbers) and page 122 (for Arabic numbers) , where the exact address of each distributor is given. 4 FOREWORD "1000 and One" Cross references at the end of many of the groups refer to other groups in which may be found one or more films on the same or related subjects. The stars before a large number of the films listed indicate as follows: one (*) means that the film has been seen by our staff; ( * two * ) , that the film has been seen and reviewed in a previous issue of The Educational Screen; three (***), that The Educa- tional Screen considers the film to be exceptionally fine of its kind. We cannot attempt to name rental prices on films, for they vary endlessly. The distributor of the particular film should be consulted. The Educational Screen Does Not Rent Films, nor Distribute any Visual Materials. THE REFERENCE LIST OF PRODUCERS AND DISTRIBUTORS IN THIS list we have indicated as far as possible the distributors of "free" films—those to be had for the payment of transporta- tion charges both ways, sometimes with further conditions stipulated by those owning the films. In certain cases distributors have indicated whether some, or all of their film subjects were printed on non-flam (slow-burning) stock. If both "flam" and "non-flam" are named, users must as- certain from the distributor whether the particular film wanted can be secured on the stock desired. OFF-STANDARD FILMS NO Safety Standard films (28 mm.) are listed in this book, al- though much fine material is available in this form. As it requires a special projector, however, such listing would be useless to the majority of our readers. Some film libraries are also available in 18 mm. and 11 mm. sizes These also require special projecting apparatus, and no effort has been made to list the films of such libraries. UNIVERSITY EXTENSION SERVICE WE HAVE been forced to exclude a very important source of non-theatrical films, the State Universities and Extension Di- visions, for obvious reasons. These excellent services are entirely local, as a rule, and gladly give full information to all film-users Fourth Edition ADVERTISEMENT 5 ACME MOTION PICTURE PROJECTORS FOR the success- fuluseof motion pictures it is abso- lutely necessary to have a thoroughly reliable projector that can always be depended upon to show clear, bright pictures without delay or interrup- tion.
