Abstract
Focusing roughly on a six-decade time frame (1900-1960), the edited collection is broken into three units, Celluloid Classrooms, Civic Circuits, and Making Useful Films, which discuss the role of film as a pedagogi- cal and pragmatic device in an information-heavy, but easy-to-digest format. [...]this text is best approached as a scholarly reserve of topics that can serve communication and noncommunication fields as a starting point for future research or academic pursuits, only falling short in taking the next step to critically evaluate the information it provides.493421JMCXXX
