Description
This and the subsequent volumes of this series focus on the documented history of the U.S. and rest of the world as seen through the lens of the Universal Newsreel movie camera. The information contained in this series is based on Universal's textual records and microfilm documentation, as well as a review of some of the stories themselves. Volume One: 1929-1930, contains all the stories nationally released for the first two years of the Universal Newspaper Newsreel, as it was known back then. Included are short descriptions that were written at the time for the newsreel's synopsis sheets. This information has been reformatted and lightly edited for readability, but the vintage literary style and verbiage has not been altered. This work includes a comprehensive title and subject index. One of the benefits of this book is that all of the Universal Newsreel stories released nationally in the U.S., and known to exist today within the National Archive's film vault, are noted. This is the first time that a Universal Newsreel story title, description, and availability have been brought together into a single published reference work. Projected History: A Catalog of the U.S. National Stories Released by Universal Newsreel, Volume I, 1929-1930, by Phillip. W. Stewart, ISBN 978-0-9793243-8-3, 253 pages, pms press, 2008.
