OMAHA BECOMING
Big FILM CENTER
Producing Companies Find
Business Increase Demands
Exchange Facilities Here.
IS TIG BUSINESS ADJUNCT
IS LIG BUSINESS ADJUNCT
By c. L. OLIVER.

Omaha is rapidly jumping into
prominence as film center from the
standpoint of the producing compa-
mics. When we consider the business
from the standpoint OF the business
interests of Omaha it is even of more
Importance.
Briefly, let US consider some of the
real facts about the film business as
it affects Omaha.
First, it may surprise you to know
that there are sixteen exchanges do
ing business in the Omaha territory
eleven of them maintaining Omaha
Offices and exchanges and five MAIN
tanning representatives in the field but
rendering service from other points.
The companies maintaining exchanges
in Omaha are Laemmle (UniversaD,
Bluebird, General, Pathe, Mutual
World, Fox, International, Triangle,
Western Supply company and Fonte-
nellie Feature Film company. Metro
serves from Des MONIES, and V. L. S.
E., Paramount, Vitagraph, serve from
Kansas City. To the latter might be
added the new Federal Film corpora
ton in Kansas City. The latest add
tons to exchanges in Omaha are tho
International, Western Supply COM
pany and the Fontenelle.
The combined film rentals paid into
Omaha exchanges every week is $24,-
$50; this in one year totals 81 ,266, 200.
Some say it is more than this, but
there are no figures available for the
outside companies, so it is difficult to
reach an exact total. That j: big
enough, however, to give an indication
OF the importance of the business.
The exchanges located in Omaha
employ considerable help and the SAL
airy list is no mean item. An exchange
doing any considerable business, and
all of them here are prospering, must
have managers, stenographers, book
keepers, statesmen, clerks, inspectors
and other miscellaneous employees.
The salary list for these Institutions
is very close to $3,050 week, or
$158,600 year.
Considering that the film business
is only about as old as child enter
ing high school, and in Omaha not
exceeding ten years, it has attained
quite husky proportions and has
right to be considered very impor-
tant part of Omaha's business life. If
in fifteen years a business can rise
from nothing to the fifth industry in
the United States, what will be its
proportions in another ten years, and
what will be Omaha's part in it them
