The compilation of the data contained in these pages has been made possible by the hearty co-operation of the writers accredited and by constant reference to our own past files and those of trade magazines. It is a pleasure to acknowledge that reference to the files of the Exhibitors' Trade Review, the Motion Picture News and the Moving Picture World has helped in many ways. This edition is but the beginning, and the year book department is already at work compiling the next edition, which will be much more com- plete and larger in scope.
