years, beginning on or about January /,
1916. About $4,000 square feet of space
will be occupied, and the aggregate

probably any other film organization in
the city enjoys.
The several Offices and departments
will include the quarters of the execu-
tive Offices, the film exchanges, several
projection rooms, freproof storage for
films, an indoor motion picture studio
for emergency work, a foreign depart
ment for export of films TO Europe,
Asia and South America, an interna-

space for library of $4,000 pictures Of
players and 100000 items Of literary
data, an extensive auditing and finance
department and large reception rooms
for the use Of President Aitken and
likewise OF Directors D. W. Griffith,
Thomas II. Ince and Macklyn Sennett
whenever they shall be in town.
One OF the conditions of the lease is
that there shall be no other film con
Germs Of any sort in the building With
the acquisition OF these Offices the
Triangle Film Corporation simulta-
neously becomes one of the most ex-
tensive occupiers of Office and theatri-
cal space in the country. The corpora
tion has rented large branch headquar-
