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The entries for unpublished works contain the date or dates of deposit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

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.

January 1, 1940–December 31, 1949

Class L, Motion-picture photoplays 7,122

Class M, Motion pictures other than photoplays 11,645

——————

Total 18,767

Class M contains many animated cartoons and newsreels as well as

nontheatrical films. The letter P following the class symbol in an entry

indicates that the film was registered as a published work; the letter

U, an unpublished work.

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,

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

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

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

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.
