Dear all:

One of our librarians has asked me the following question concerning box
office gross figures for specific films from the late 30s and 40s.  I'm at a
loss.  Does anyone know where numbers can be found for relatively obscure
films from the period?

Thanks in advance for your help -- and feel free to respond to me personally
