"1000 and One" (Seventh Edition) The Blue Book of Non-Theatrical Films EDITORS Nelson L. Greene, Chairman Evelyn T. Baker Josephine F. Hoffman F. Dean McClusky Stella Evelyn Myers Marguerite Orndorff The Educational Screen, Inc. 5 South Wabash Avenue Chicago, 111. L B wtf m. Published and Copyrighted September, 1930 The Educational Screen, Inc. ; Seventh Edition 3 FOREWORD THIS is the Seventh 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 or- ganization—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 Seventh Edition as better than any preceding. No film was excluded from this edition merely because it had already appeared in a previous edition. But the mass of ma- terial 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 circulated. HOW TO USE "1000 AND ONE" /CONSULT first the Classified Subject Index on pages 8 10, f ^ 12, 14, snowing the subject-groups under which the films have -been arranged. This will -refer you direct to the pages and groups carrying the subjects you seek. Information on each film is given as follows : The title of the film appears in bold type. The number following shows the number of reels. Then follow brief review and comment on the film. Distributors of each film are indicated by number at the extreme right of the last line of description. These numbers refer to the Reference List of Producers and Distributors in the back of the book (pages 129-ff). Numbers with no symbol before them indicate distributors supplying film in 35 mm. size • indicates 16 mm. size ; A indicates "sound" version. Note that 16 mm. films are always non-flam. The 35 mm. films may be either flam or non-flam, hence distributor should be asked specifically about this point. (The note under dis- tributors' entry on pages 129-ff will be helpful.) 4 ADVERTISEMENT "1000 and One" DeVry World fame us Portable (35mm) Projector For long throws in Schools, Churches, Clubs, Etc. $250.00 DeVry Model C 16mm Projector New brilliant light gives an 8x10 ft. picture at a distance of 50 feet.

Michigan Ave., Chicago New York San Francisco Seventh Edition FOREWORD 5 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 itself does not handle films. It acts merely as the central clearing house for information on the whole production field of films, both theatrical and non-the- atrical. 'TREE FILMS" TN 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 transportation charges both ways, sometimes with further conditions stipulated. UNIVERSITY EXTENSION SERVICE rpHE 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 much 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. 16 MILLIMETER FILMS fpHE rapid growth in the use of the 16 mm. film on non- inflammable stock—in both educational and entertainment subjects for home, school and church use-—has received most careful attention. All distributors handling 16 mm. films, partially or exclu- sively, are included in the Reference List of Producers and Distributors in the back of this book. Throughout the body of the book, all films available in 16 mm. are indicated by the symbol*. In addition, on pages 97 to 123, appears a separate list (fully classified by subject, and with group numbers corresponding to those in the regular classification), giving films available only in the 16 mm. size, with their distributors indicated.
