D£c 16 mi ©CIA 45509 Number Foreword This volume contains a complete list of all of the literary prop- erties owned by Fox Film Corporation, on the 1st day of September, 1931. It will be supplemented, from time to time, by pamphlets that will compile the same information as to stories and plays sub- sequently acquired. These pamphlets, when issued to the holder of this book, should be attached to the inside of the back cover in the pocket provided for that purpose. In many instances one or more adaptations and continuities, with and without dialogue, are available for use in connection with a story or play, although no separate listing of these has been attempted. Following a colloquialism generally used in the motion picture industry, a story is referred to in this catalogue as being "original" when it was written especially for Fox Film Corporation by an employee or especially for use in motion pictures and not published either in a periodical or as a book. The use of the term or its omission is therefore intended to be descriptive of the origin or purpose rather than of the elements or character of the work in question. A separate index of the release titles of feature-length produc- tions has been included to facilitate the tracing of literary material when only the title of the picture produced therefrom can be recalled. This index does not include the titles of comedies or educational subjects, and embraces only those short subjects that have been adapted from literary work of unusual value or merit. Whenever a story or play contained in this catalogue has been used as the basis for a motion picture, the fact of such use has been noted, and where no such statement occurs the story in ques- tion has not been previously produced in picture form. Inquiry must be directed to the Legal Department of Fox Film Corporation, either at the Los Angeles Studios or at the New York office, before using any of the information contained herein as a basis for the production of motion pictures or for the disposal of any of the rights in the properties listed herein. This catalogue is the property of Fox Film Corporation and has been lent by it solely for the convenience of the borrower who, by receipt and acceptance of this volume, agrees to return it promptly upon request. _ Alfred Wright, Counsel, Table of Contents Page Foreword 5 Literary Properties Owned by Fox Film Corporation 9 Index of Titles of Literary Properties 173 Index of Names of Authors 187 Index of Release Titles of Pictures 197 Catalogue of the Stories and Plays Owned by Fox Film Corporation ABOVE THE LAW Short story written by Max Brand (Frederick Faust), pub- lished in August 31, 1918, issue of "All-Story Weekly."
