Blach moved his family to New York, at the invitation of Gaumont, to manage his New York offices. In 1910, Herbert and Alice Guy Blach founded the Solax company in New York. There are surviving films from Solax. Of the few that exist, it appears that the company presented various subjects. Solax faded early in 1914.
Slide also intimates personal reasons.
Professional jealously between husband and wife had caused Herbert Blach to create power plays that would demote his more talented wife in billing and duties. Solax was identified with her name and persona. He wanted his own recognition. Unfortunately, it came at her expense. In 1913, Blach resigned from Gaumont and started Blach Features.
