1000 and One: The Blue Book of Non-Theatrical Films
This is the eleventh edition (1935-36) of *The Blue Book of Non-Theatrical Films*, a reference catalog published by *The Educational Screen*. The volume acts as a comprehensive clearinghouse for information on film producers and distributors of both theatrical and non-theatrical motion pictures. It provides systematic organization of available films through subject classification, offering users detailed indexing by category, reel count, brief descriptions, and distributor information. Entries indicate formats (16mm or 35mm, sound or silent) through symbolic notation. The catalog also includes advertisements for film projection equipment from manufacturers including Bell & Howell, RCA, and Ampro, along with a directory of film distributors and their contact information. The guide notes that 16mm films are non-flammable and discusses rental versus free films available through various sources.
