A DMG EXAMPLE

All-
My how time flies when your editing your next book. I appoligize for my delay in posting.

This time I have an example from the DMG Category for you to review. It's from the Motion Picture Association of America. This collection contains 17 titles and covers a span from 1922-1959. Two representative title are:

• Talking Motion Pictures — shows Tykociner’s apparatus for photographing and projecting sound and pictures simultaneously; Professor Jacob Kung’s photo electric cell for converting light intensity variations into electric current variations; Tykociner’s first sound track in the middle of his film; Professor E.B. Paine reads; Tykociner speaks; Mrs. Tykociner rings a bell; a musician plays a violin, 1922.

• The Fighting Dutch — the training of Dutch combat units in the U.S. and Canada; tulip fields and the dike system in Holland; Rotterdam burns after the Nazi’s bombed it in May 1940; natives gather hemp and dance on the Island of Java; Japanese troops land and advance in the East Indies; Dutch Infantry units go through obstacle courses in Canada; pilots fly P-40 fighter planes in the US; Dutch crews man seaplanes and torpedo boats on submarine patrol in the Atlantic; Dutch troops present ceremonial dances; narrated by Lorne Greene, ca. 1943.

Once again, these title discriptions and many more are in Armerica's Film Vault, availble at Amazon.com...
