9.5mm PRINTED FILM CATALOGUES
9.5MM PRINTED FILMS IN THE UK
In the UK the majority of 9.5mm printed film releases
came from Pathéscope Ltd and after 1959 Pathéscope(Great
Britain) Ltd) - the UK offshoot of Pathé-Baby / S.C.I. Pathé in
France.
However other companies did release printed films in the 9.5mm
format - in the UK these included:- Peak Films; A.B. Pathé;
Walton Films; Wallace Heaton; Diamond Films; Adventure Films; LGP
Cine; Paul Carnell; Novascope; and Presto Films. I intend to
include lists of these various film releases - company by
company.

9.5MM PRINTED FILMS IN FRANCE
In France it was the Pathé-Baby company (after 1950 SCI Pathé), originators of the 9.5mm movie gauge, who issued the largest number of 9.5mm films and it was only they in France who issued 9.5mm optical sound films. However after the second war Film Office also issued a large number of 9.5mm printed films and they eventually took over the Pathé catalogue and master negatives etc. Other French 9.5mm printed films came from Hefa, LaPierre, Pinguin and Tobis. It is intended eventually, to include 9.5mm film lists for each of these companies.
A large French photographic retailer Mascre, had an extensive 9.5mm sound and silent film library during the 1930s. It is a puzzle for French collectors because Mascre used different reference numbers for most of the Pathe films in their library and in fact had many extra unknown titles. These unknown titles can generally be traced to - an early Pathe notched film being assembled on larger sools with running titles; or overseas 9.5mm releases being retitled (includinng the inter-titles) in French for their film library. Even so, it is possible there may well be other titles printed by Mascre themselves. However there were only one or two prints of each film and as far as I can tell, these films were never issued for sale. Hence no attempt to catalogue them has been made.
