Mr Martin

Does anyone out there have any info about ACE Cinemagazine Films issued in 1937 and 1938. The only details I can find are from the "Monthly Film Bulletin" publication. Apparently all 80+ films no longer exist apart from a few issued on 9.5mm and some video copy versions at the BBC Video Holdings Dept. The Two Films I am particularly interested to find are the following :

---------------------------------------------------------------

Title : Sticking to Facts (Series 2)
Number : 22
Date released : December 1937
Registered Number : E.15750 (Jan 27th 1938)
Certificate : U

Format : 35mm Film
Length : 1000 ft
Running Time : 11 minutes
Sound/silent : Sound on Film (flam)
No of reels : 1

---------------------------------------------------------------

Title : Wood You Believe It (Series 3)
Number : 1
Date released : March 1938
Registered Number : E.15947 (March 11th 1938)
Certificate : U
Distributors : Ace Films Ltd., National House, Wardour Street, London W1

Format : 35mm Film
Length : 1003 ft
Running Time : 11 minutes
Sound/silent : Sound on Film (flam)
No of reels : 1

---------------------------------------------------------------

If these 2 films no longer exist in any form, any further written details, (more than the summary shown in the Film Bulletin), however small would still be interesting to find. Also, some kind of explanation of how virtually all traces of over 80 films can disappear. (I know that most if not all were issued on 35mm Nitrate stock) Also perhaps someone may know where the musical items at the end of each Ace Cinemagazine were recorded and filmed.

Any more info regarding the above films would be very useful to locate.

Thanks
