Motion Pictures, 1940–1949 1

Index 503

Series List 585

Preface

_Motion Pictures, 1940–1949_, is a cumulative catalog listing works registered in the Copyright Office in Classes L and M from January 1, 1940, through December 31, 1949. It continues the series of cumulative catalogs which began in 1951 with _Motion Pictures, 1912–1939_. A third volume, _Motion Pictures, 1894–1912_, is also being published (though not as a part of the series); it lists works copyrighted prior to 1912 and identified as motion pictures by Howard Lamarr Walls. These three volumes, together with the current issues of the _Catalog of Copyright Entries, Third Series, Parts 12–13, Motion Pictures and Filmstrips_, comprise an unbroken record of the copyright registration of motion pictures and, also, an extensive although not complete record of motion picture production in the United States through the entire history of the industry.

The information given in the entries for the period 1940–1946 was obtained from the record books of the Copyright Office, the original applications for the registration of the copyright claims, and the descriptive material deposited with the applications and films at the time of registration. For the period 1947–1949, the information was transcribed (with slight changes in the order of the material, for the sake of consistency) from card copy previously used in the preparation of the semiannual issues of the _Catalog of Copyright Entries, Third Series, Parts 12–13, Motion Pictures_. Beginning with July 1, 1949, the title of Parts 12–13 was changed to _Motion Pictures and Filmstrips_ and filmstrips registered in Class J were listed. These filmstrips, however, have been omitted from the cumulative catalog. The card copy was compared with the record books and the file of original applications to make certain that all works registered during the period were recorded in the catalog. At the same time any errors in the names of the claimants or the dates of publication found in the card copy were corrected.

Each entry contains information which describes the film and identifies the copyright claimant, the date of the beginning of the copyright term, and the copyright registration number. The descriptive portion of the entries varies considerably in fullness depending on the information available in the sources used.

The entries for unpublished works contain the date or dates of deposit in the Copyright Office of the title, description, and required prints. The entries for published works contain date of publication as given in the application for registration. Deposit of published copies has in every case been made.

In each entry the name of the claimant is that given in the application. Information relating to renewal copyrights or to subsequent changes of ownership recorded in the Copyright Office can be ascertained upon request and upon payment to the Register of Copyrights of the fee specified in the law for the conduct of a search of the records. In addition, information relating to renewal copyrights can be secured by referring to the issue of the _Catalog of Copyright Entries_ covering renewal registrations for the particular class of work during the renewal period.

The publication of the _Catalog of Copyright Entries_ is authorized by sections 210 and 211 of Title 17 of the _United States Code_. Section 210 provides in part: “The current catalog of copyright entries and the index volumes herein provided for shall be admitted in any court as prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein as regards any copyright registration.”

The purpose of the cumulative catalogs is threefold: 1) to meet the administrative needs of the Copyright Office; 2) to provide compact index volumes to the legal profession, publishers, authors, and others interested in copyright; and 3) to make available, for other research uses, the information on record in the Copyright Office, much of which is not available elsewhere.

A description (including price and instructions for ordering) of each part of the present Third Series of the _Catalog of Copyright Entries_ and of other publications of the Copyright Office is provided at the back of this volume.

The Copyright Office welcomes inquiries, suggestions, and comments on the content and organization of the _Catalog_. Such communications should be addressed to the Chief of the Cataloging Division, Copyright Office, Library of Congress, Washington 25, D. C.

How To Use This Catalog

This catalog consists of three parts: _Motion Pictures, 1940–1949_, which is a list of main entries under title; an _Index_ of names; and a _Series List_. Each part is arranged alphabetically.

Motion Pictures, 1940–1949

The items which constitute each entry in this section are given below in the order in which they appear. The title, name of the claimant, copyright date, and registration number are always given; other items are included if applicable to the motion picture and available.

1. _Title._ Main title, followed by subtitle, translated title, and
alternate title. Cross-references are made for alternate and
translated titles. When motion pictures are based on the lives of
real persons or when such persons are mentioned in the titles in
connection with specific episodes in their lives, such as musical
performances or athletic events, their names are included in the
_Index_.

2. _Production statement._ The name of the producing company, i.e.,
the company responsible for the existence of the picture, follows
the title. In some instances two companies or organizations are
concerned with the production of a film, one with the physical
production, i.e., photographing, editing, sound recording, etc., the
other with planning, distributing, and sponsoring the motion
picture. In such case the company concerned with physical production
is named first, followed by the preposition _for_ and the name of
the other company. The name of a foreign producing company is
followed by the name of the city or country in which it is located.
When the name of a person or organization is given in the records of
the Copyright Office preceded by the phrase _presented by_, the
name, together with the phrase, follows the date (see item 3 below).

3. _Date._ For published works, the year date of copyright (see item
10 below) preceded by a lower case c, (e.g., c1941) follows the
production statement. If a production date different from the
copyright year date is given in the records, this information
follows the copyright date. For unpublished works, no date is given
in this position in the entry.

4. _Physical description._ A full physical description contains
information relating to 1) the length of the film, given in running
time, footage, number of reels or frames; 2) color or black and
white versions; 3) sound or silent versions; 4) width of the film.
Few of the entries in this catalog for the period prior to 1946
contain full physical descriptions because information on these
points was not included in the records of the Copyright Office.

5. _Notes._ Certain information which helps to identify the motion
picture more exactly is given in the form of notes:

a. The title of the series to which a motion picture belongs is
given immediately following the physical description.

b. Phrases further identifying persons or organizations connected
with the production of a motion picture, such as _Warner
Bros.-First National picture_, _Frank Capra production_, etc., are
given in a note following the series note.

c. Information relating to other titles by which the motion picture
is known, to other versions, to related material to be used in
connection with the showing of the motion picture, or to the
source material on which the motion picture is based, is given in
the order named.

6. _Summary._ A brief statement describing or characterizing the
motion picture is included whenever it has been printed previously
in an issue of the _Catalog of Copyright Entries_.

7. _Credits._ This paragraph contains, when available, the names of
persons associated with the production of the film in the capacity
of producers, directors, writers, narrators, commentators, creators
of animation, composers, music directors and other persons
responsible for the music, photographers or cameramen for travelogs
and other pictures of similar type, and film editors. In a few
instances other credits have been included. In the case of each
person, a term indicative of the contribution precedes the name. For
films in color, the name of the process is given, if available, at
the end of the credits statement.

8. _Cast._ The principal actors are named in the order of their
billing if the information has been printed previously in an issue
of the _Catalog of Copyright Entries_.

9. _Copyright claimant, date, and registration number._ This paragraph
begins with the copyright symbol ©. The symbol is followed by:

a. The name of the claimant as it is given in the application.

b. The date of the beginning of the term of copyright: for
published works, the date of publication as cited in the
application; for unpublished works, the date or dates of receipt
in the Copyright Office of the title, description, and required
prints.

c. The registration number, preceded by the respective class
symbol (L, motion picture photoplays; M, motion pictures other
than photoplays) and, also, immediately after the class symbol,
the letter P to designate a published work or U, an unpublished
work.

In the case of motion pictures produced as serials, information relating to the entire serial precedes that relating to the individual numbers or episodes in the serial. More than one entry of a serial is made whenever the descriptive information varies for different parts of the serial. Individual issues of a serial are listed in numerical sequence or by date; in those cases where the name or form of name of the claimant has changed, the issues claimed under a specific name are listed below it. The copyright symbol © always appears immediately before the name of the copyright claimant and the copyright date whenever they are in separate statements. When duplicate numbers appear in a sequence of issues, arrangement of the duplicates is by copyright date. Omission of an item in a sequence does not necessarily mean that the item has not been registered in the Copyright Office, since it may be included in the catalog under its specific title.

Index

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.

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.
