With the opening Of new studio. the

ducts it, business affairs in this city:
and Kleine's producing activities are
In the Bronx. New York City.
The Essanay studios are equipped
with artificial lighting facilities which
enable It's producers to stage plays
In all sorts Of weather. while the days
Of sunshine are devoted mostly to

1T Is not necessary to 60 to Cali
