Summary

"Motion Pictures, 1912-1939: Catalog of Copyright Entries" by the Library of Congress. Copyright Office is a detailed reference book that records copyright registrations for movies made between 1912 and 1939. It is an important tool for people who study film, experts in the field, and movie fans. The main goal is to keep track of the specifics of movie registrations from that time, like titles, production companies, and copyright details. At the start, a preface explains what the book is for and how it is set up, explaining that it lists movies registered in the Copyright Office and gives an index of films with related copyright information, such as titles, descriptions, and copyright holders. The catalog stresses how crucial it is to monitor these registrations to help lawyers, researchers, and others, followed immediately by a long list of films which shows a full and complete record of important movies from a key period in cinema history.
