The fantastic George Burns and G r acie Allen, first famous on radio,
became even more famous on their we e kly half hour television show.
These black and white half hour shows from the '50's are hard to find .
Filmland has a collection of ten - y es - ten, all different shows which
a collector painstakingly accumulat ed over the years. It would be a
shame to break up such a wonderful collection so the entire collection
of ten films - each a half hour in length - is being offered as a package.
In addition there were several dupli c a tes of the same show already
in stock, and these, too, are offe r ed at this time . But hurry. These
won't last long!
Ge orge and Gracie are in every show . Harry Von Zel is in most of
them. All of them are zany comedies of the adventures of Gracie and
G e orge and their various friends such as the Vanderlip s , Martins ,
Gibsons, and relatives . At the end of each show George a nd Gracie
come out and do one of their fabulous routines . Terrific!
One show fo r $19 - Two different for $35 - Th r ee different for $49

All the films listed on these two pages are electron be~m prints on Kodak's new
film base, Estar . While the resolution is not quite as good as a photographic
print, it is far superior to the old Kinescope process. Estar film has the
advantage of being nearly indestructible and the disadvantage of being un
spliceable with ordinary film cement - a butt splicer with mylar tapes must
be used, but unless you plan to put the films through a meat grinder, y.ou
should have no need for splicing. All titles B&W sound. List alternates.

This is much more than "just another show." Your guests can actu

in $100 " lucky buck" b ills . To start the game, give each player
$2,500 in "lucky buck" money. Then, let the players make bets using
the Perry Mutual tickets. You collect the tickets and money, and then
run the first race on the projector . At the end of the race you payoff
the winner (if any H, then hand out new Perry Mutual tickets, collect
the bets and run race !f2. After the end of the five races the player
who has won the most "lucky buck" money has won the game . I
Note : I understand these films were originally used in conjun ction with
a promotional program on t e l evision which require d players to go to

in one week's entry blank, it seems everyone won a ca sh prize that

Prior to the pas sage of the curr e nt act, the term of prote ction for
published works was fourteen years, with a renewal p e riod of an
additional foarteen years. The current law doubled this p e riod so th clt
now copyright owners may claim two twenty-eight year periods of p ro
tection. As you know, Congress has, for some years, extend e d thi s
protection so that works which would have otherwise fallen into th e
public domain remain copyrighted . Now, advocates for copyri g ht in
dustries , in seeking passage of S . 1361, argue that even fifty-si x
years is not sufficient time in which to exploit their works. The s c
arguments are not only contr a dicted by the facts, but they ar e also
offered in support of legislation which would work a grave injustic e
on the public.
Movies, songs, books and other copyrighted works reap the greatest
financial benefits for their creators during the first year or so of
their existence. After that , the pecuniary returns fall off drasticall y .
The same copyright industries which seek to persuade Congress th a t
a half century is too brief a period in which to exploit songs, movies,
bQoks and other copyrighted works have, however, successfully argued
just the converse to the tax collector in securing for themselves the
fastest pos sible depreciation write-off on their copyrighted properties.
They have successfully convinced the tax collector that their work is
more than ninety percent exploited within the first three years of its
life. 1 Their contention therefore, that a half century is not enough to
enjoy the financial rewards of their creation is contradicted by their
own successful arguments to the Internal Revenue Service.
No proponent of this bill can convincingly contend that the public would
benefl.t from futher extension of the copyright holders' period of pro
tection. To be sure, authors, composers and other creative persons
must be given sufficient motivation to produce works which will enrich
society~s cultural pool. But it is only this benefit to the public which
justifies the limited monopoly of copyright . The inclusion or extension
of any rights in copyright which do not ultimately benefit the public is
contrary to Constitutional intent in that it unduly rewards copyright
owners at the public's expense. I therefore urge the Subcommittee t o
retain the present term of copyright, with the same renewal period,
and bring to an end the temporary extensions which have heretofore
been granted, and allow these many works, which are long past due,
to fall properly into the public domain.

suits in an atteITlpt to discourage their collecting filITls. Through this
saITle firITl the industry has initiated extraordinary lawsuits against
nUITlerous others involving seizure without notice of the collectors'
filITl prints and issuance of TeITlporary Restraining Orders. The effect
of these actions has been to deny ITlany citizens their property and
because the defendants in such lawsuits are usually selected to be
ITliddle incoITle filITl collectors, they are unable to cOITlpete with these
corporations on an equal financial footing.

DEAR FILM COLLECTOR,
I hope you will participate in the free film contest discussed else
where in this catalog . In a sense you cannot loose, because even
should you fail to win one of the many prizes I am offering, your
effort can only be beneficial to the pending copyright legislation in
general and to film collecting and film collectors in particular . Feel
free to remove the center section from this catalog which contains
my remarks to the United States Senate Subcommittee on Patents,
Trademarks, and Copyrights. Or, if you wish, you may copy the re
marks and transmit the copies with the letters you send. The Chairman
of the Subcommittee, Senator John L. McClellan, has advised me that
my remarks will be printed in the appendix to the hearings . I have
since sent him additional materials which are too lengthy and cumber
some to either reproduce or discuss here. Other similar materials
are being prepared to go forward and pos sibly I will report to you on
these at a later date. If the current copyright legislation passes in its
present form, you may see a lot more documents which are licensed
for use! (See document license on cover.)
In Alabama we have a t.ax law which requires that those who rent items
pay a state tax based on the amount of the rental, similar to a sales
tax. Alabama's Revenue Department was astute in inviting various
Alabama renters of films, such as TV stations, to comply with this
law. The case has now reached the Alabama Surpreme Court which
held in Boswell v. Paramount that the TV stations have to pay the tax .
I wonder how many other state revenue departments across the country
are missing out on collecting this tax where the State has tax laws
which provide for its collection?
Sincerely,
F'"'-H.~
Evan H. Foreman

FREE MOVIE CONTEST
How -to enter? Write the following three letters: (l) your Representative
in the U.S. House of Representatives - that is, your Congressman.
Enclose copy of my testimony. Then write (2) and (3) each of your two
United States Senators. Be sure you make copies of these three letters
as you will need them to complete your entry into the contest.
Make any suggestions you wish in your letters, but I urge you to include
at least the following points: (1) There should be no further extensions
of cop'yright protection for works which would otherwise enter the public
domain. (2) Any new copyright legislation should be opposed if in any
way it lengthens the already liberal 56 year maximum term of protection.
(3) Any new copyright legislation should provide that publication is re
quired to establish copyright, and that such publication occurs if, and
only if, tangible copies of the work are sold to members of the public .
Make and send to me copies of your three letters and the reply you
recei ve from your Congressman and your two U.S. Senators . Six letters
in all . This qualifies you for the contest. Winners will be judged by the
effectiveness of their letters. Neatness does NOT count. In addition,
some may feel that they do not have as good a chance as others who
might be better letter writers. Such persons may ask their friends to
write letters in addition to their own, and the more responses they
can send in with the entry blank, the greater is the chance for winning .
H you persuade others to write on your behalf, send in their letters
and the responses to them with your entry blank. Contest ends July 10 ,
1974 and entries must be postmarked on or before that date to be eligible.
Prizes will be shipped July 20th, 1974, postpaid. There is no choice of
title on any prize.
