Motion pictures -- Catalogs
The second section of this catalog lists the names of the persons and
organizations associated with the production of the motion pictures
described in the main section and of the authors of the novels, dramas,
or other works upon which these motion pictures are based. Also included
are the names of persons on whose lives the motion pictures are based or
whose names appear in the titles in connection with a musical
performance or athletic event. The names of the persons listed in the
statements of credits in the main entries are not included. The name of
each person or organization is used as a heading, the form of which is
either the one appearing in the Official Catalog of the Library of
Congress or the one most frequently found in the records of the
Copyright Office. Similar names have been listed separately unless it is
clear that they identify the same person or organization.
Cross-references from different forms of the same name and from
pseudonyms are included in the list.
Under each heading are listed alphabetically the titles of the motion
pictures associated with it, together with their respective year dates,
or, for serials, the word _serial_, enclosed in parentheses, in lieu of
a date. An asterisk preceding the title indicates that the name
appearing in the heading is that of the copyright claimant.
Series List
The third section of this catalog lists the series titles which are
given in the main entries. These frequently appear in varying forms. For
each series, therefore, an established form, based on the one most
frequently used, is given in the heading. Following the heading are
references to other series titles which seem to be related because the
names are similar and the claimants are the same. Listed below the
headings are, first, the names of the claimants, and, second, the titles
of the motion pictures, each followed by its date. In the case of
serials, the word _serial_, enclosed in parentheses, is used in lieu of
a date.
The lists of titles under each series may be incomplete for the period
covered by this catalog, because only those titles have been included
which are so identified in the sources used in compiling the catalog.
For some motion pictures two series titles are given, each of which is
entered separately, since the information available makes it impossible
to differentiate between main series and subseries.
Abbreviations and Symbols
The following list includes abbreviations and symbols used in this
catalog with specific copyright or bibliographic meanings. Definitions
are not given for abbreviations in common use.
