Motion Pictures in the U. S. Navy

Charles E. Fraser

This paper presents briefly the part played by the motion picture in the general scheme of the Naval organization, touching on its entertaining, instructional, and recruiting value. For entertainment alone the Navy owns, in duplicate, 467 features, and is acquiring monthly an average of 25 features and 5 short subjects. The Naval requirements of censorship, processing, longevity, and special machine design are mentioned, in addition to the probable future requirement dealing with the restoration of historical film records that have deteriorated with age. Exchange problems and methods are discussed.
