Abstract
THIS is a new, enlarged, and again improved edition of a work first published under its present name in 1935 but really dating back to 1933. The improvement and it is an immense improvement consists in the inclusion first of a film title index giving reference to both 35-mm. sound and silent and 16-mm. sound and silent films, and secondly, of a new subject index to the main classification. The first meets a criticism which we made of the first edition that there was no possibility of direct reference to any specific film when the title was known, and the second enables us to find films that deal with any particular topic. The encyclopedia is now in fact usable without a great expenditure of energy and temper.
