FOREWORD This is the Eleventh Edition of "1000 and One Films." Every known producer and distributor of film, both theatrical and non- theatrical—whether an individual, a firm, or an organization has been consulted directly and repeatedly. Our method of gathering data and information from all these sources has been so perfected through the successive editions of "1000 and One" that we confidently offer this Eleventh Edition as better than any preceding. HOW TO USE "1000 AND ONE" First, consult the Classified Subject Index on pages 9, 10, 12, 14. This will refer you direct to the pages and groups carrying the subjects you seek. Information on each film is there given as follows : (1) The title of the film appears in bold type. (2) The number of reels follows in parenthesis. (3) Then follow brief data on the film. (4) Distributors of the film are indicated by numbers at extreme right, referring to the Reference List on pages 133-144. (5) Symbols used with distributor-numbers give information as to form in which the Distributor has the film. • means 16mm. sound. © means 16mm. silent. A means 35mm. sound. A means 35mm. silent. Each symbol applies to all distributor-numbers—one or more— r between it and the next symbol. Note that each symbol has one specific meaning, hence several symbols are often used on one film. A distributor having a film in both sizes, and both "silent" and "sound," will have all jour symbols before his distributor-number. Practically all "sound" is now "on-film"—for 16mm as well as "Sound- on-disk" has almost reached the vanishing point, 35mm. j // the note under the Distributor {pages 133-144) mentions "disk," C write him regarding particular film desired. Otherwise you may expect "sound" subjects to be "sound-on-film." Eleventh Edition GENERAL REMARKS NOTE that 16mm films are always non-flam. The 35mm films may be either flam or non-flam, hence ask Distributor speci- fically about this point. (See note under distributor's entry.) No film was excluded from this edition merely because it had appeared in a previous edition. But the mass of material increases every year and selection is compulsory. The aim has been to include, within the necessary space limitations, all the new and worthwhile material possible, together with all films from previous editions that are still most actively cir- culated and proved to have permanent value. Users will note some advantageous changes and additions that have been made in classification and arrangement of Groups. A selection of important Foreign Films appears on pages 127-128 (Group 139). The Educational Screen cannot attempt to name rental or sale prices on films, for they vary endlessly. The distributor of the particular film should be consulted. "FREE FILMS" IN THE Reference List of Producers and Distributors we have indicated as far as possible the distributors of "free" films—namely, those to be had for the payment of transporta- tion charges (one or both ways), sometimes with further con- ditions stipulated. Consult the Distributor. UNIVERSITY EXTENSION SERVICE THE State Universities and Extension Divisions are a very important source of non-theatrical films. Space limitations absolutely forbid the listing of the immense number of films carried by these Divisions. These excellent services are en- tirely local, as a rule, and gladly give full information to all film-users within their zone. As such information would be largely useless to the rest of the country it is omitted here. If you are not familiar with the service of your nearest State University, do not fail to write at once for their complete literature.

    ENOUGH OF BOTH WORLDS: THE NOVELS OF E. P. ROE Ann Harrold-Doering A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY March 1974 Approved by Doctoral Committee BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY © 1974 ANN HARROLD-DOERING ALL RIGHTS RESERVED IT ABSTRACT This study of the novels of Edward Payson Roe, which were popular between 1872 and 1914, was based on the premise that the popular novel serves as a "mirror of life." It was found that Roe used a form­ ula, "Enough of Both Worlds," to reflect and mould both the readers’ spiritual and temporal lives. Analysis of the elements of this formula —the Situations, the Characters, and the Messages—provided insights into the attitudes, values, and critical concerns of the popular audience. Roe, a Presbyterian minister who left the pulpit to extend his ministry to a wider sphere through what he called "society sermons," was a popular if not an artistic success. The first and second chapters of this study surveyed his contemporary reputation, his life, and placed him into the context of his time. The experiences of Roe's life informed his novelistic ministry: man must have nurture enough for success in his practical as well as his religious life. The third, fourth, and fifth chapters analyzed the elements of the formula. The Situations provided plot, instruction, and interest to Roe’s readers. The Characters were stereotypes which provided models and lessons and, at the same time, represented the ideals and aspira­ tions of the democratic Christian nobility of American society.

  • Changing Models of Heroism in Popular American Novels 1880-1920 Arthur Margon
    urbanization in fiction changing models of heroism in popular american novels 1880-1920 arthur margon In the late nineteenth century, urbanization shook the individualistic foundations of American culture and altered the meaning of heroism. As long as individualism remained linked to ideas of virtue, responsibility and self restraint, heroism involved the application of an exaggerated but benevolent individualism to communally sanctioned goals. The hero, in taking matters into his own hands and in acting selflessly, merely followed the dictates of his culture. Both morality and individualism defined heroism.1 The growth of urban lifestyles severed the link between individualism and benevolence, and undermined the popular conception of the indi­ vidualistic hero. The social changes accompanying urbanization were re­ flected in late nineteenth and early twentieth century popular culture, and spawned various responses. Popular artists concerned themselves with the problems arising from the shift of conventional values and assump­ tions into an urban milieu. In popular fiction, an important theme in many widely read novels was the demise of the hero, a fall which reflected the culture's growing reservations about the compatibility of individual­ ism and the public welfare in the industrial city.2 The United States became an urban nation during the nineteenth century. When the War of 1812 ended, less than 3% of the people lived in towns larger than 25,000; by the end of the century, over one fourth of the nation lived in communities that size,

Do- minico. An eyewitness to the battle, Dominico was a Hungarian exile teaching in Lexington at the time. His painting shows Union forces defending the Ma­ sonic College and its dormitory, while Confederate batteries are shown in the foreground. The painting was presented to the State Historical Society in 1912 by Mrs. Susan Austin Arnold McCausland, who also witnessed the battle. An edited and annotated 1862 diary by Willard Hall Mendenhall appears in this issue. Mendenhall, a pro-Southerner, who lived on a farm a mile or two south of Lexington, provided an important and interesting commentary on events that took place in Lexington and Lafayette County during the second year of the Civil War. He also had witnessed the Battle of Lexington in 1861. MISSOURI HISTORICAL REVIEW Published Quarterly THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MISSOURI COLUMBIA, MISSOURI RICHARD S. BROWNLEE EDITOR MARY K.

When, as and if written the book dealing with the question will necessarily show the misleading nature of Mr. Arnold Bennett's title, The Truth About an Author—a readable little volume which does not tell the truth about an author in general, but only what we are politely requested to accept as the truth about Arnold Bennett. Mr. Bennett may or may not be telling the truth about himself in that book; his regard for the truth in respect of the characters of his fiction has been variable. Perhaps he is more scrupulous when it comes to himself, but we are at liberty to doubt it.
