Preface
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The entries for unpublished works contain the date or dates of deposit in the Copyright Office of the title, description, and required prints.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.
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.
Copyright Registrations of Motion Pictures
January 1, 1940-December 31, 1949
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P following the class symbol in an entry indicates that the film was registered as a published work; the letter U, an unpublished work.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
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.
a. The title of the series to which a motion picture belongs is given immediately following the physical description.
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.
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the beginning of the term of copyright: for published works, the date of publication as cited in the application; for unpublished works, the date or dates of receipt in the Copyright Office of the title, description, and required prints.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 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.
Series List
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.
