Summary:
The Motion Picture Division required film distributers in New York State to obtain permission to screen films. This series
consists of applications for permits to exhibit motion pictures in New York State. Many of the files apparently relate to
newsreels, educational and training films, and entertainment films receiving permits rather than licenses. Information includes
film titles, number of reels, total film footage, and name of producer and/or film distributor. Also included are documentaries
labeled "films determined to be newsreels."
