MEN BLOCK TRUST
Continued from Page One.)

| 1urCneT advantage OF SuCn an 1Qc8,
it was urged, was that exhibitors
would have standard amount that
they would have to pay each week
for their productions, instead of pay
ing a large amount when they ran q
stellar picture and smaller amount
when the picture was not so good.
Damages of Film Trust.
Exhibitors all over the country
looked askance at the idea, fearing
that it would develop into q continu-
Gus output of mediocre pictures, and
that it would sound the death knell
of productions such as "In Old Ken
tusky" and others in which the seem
ario writer and director were not re-
quired to keep expenditures within
! limited sum. Many directors and
some of the best known film stars
also declared that such a course was
impossible if individual genius and
artistic work were to survive. This
feeling crystallized into the forma-
ton of the Associated First National
Pictures.
Such stars as Charlie Chaplin,
Katherine Macdonald, Norma and
Constance Talmadge, Mildred Harris
Chaplin, Anita Stewart, Nell Ship
man, Charles Ray and many others
have already allied themselves with
the association of exhibitors. Mar
shall Neilan, who directed "The Un-
pardonable Sin," daddy Long Legs
and "The Rivers End"; King Vidor,
who directed "Better Tines and
''The Turn in the Road" have also
lined up with the association Of ex-l
hibitors, as well as Henry Lehrmann,
the we'll known director of comedies. |
Each Of these have entered into con-
tracts to produce motion picture
plays exclusively for the theatres rep
resented by membership franchise in
Associated First National Pictures.
III. Tho Spirit of rs. |
The basis of the organization Of
Associated First National Pictures is |
revolutionary as far as the motion
picture industry is concerned and is
strictly cooperative. For purposes
of administration the entire country |
has been divided into zones, with an
enfranchised film distributing head |
quarters in each. In turn the zone
is divided into sub-franchised munich
palities and into zone divisions of
municipalities. The holders of these
sub-franchises are the individual the
atre owners, one of whom may be
M. E. Brinkman of the Rex theatre.
The sub-franchise, if granted, will
give it the exclusive right Of show
ing First National attractions in the
specified radius of this theatre. The
cost to the exhibitor is charged upon
a pro rata basis. Each sub-franchise
which is issued carries with it the
responsibility Of paying only a GER
tain percentage of the cost of the
This percentage is based
upon the size and quality of the
theatre and the. extent Of the terri
tory it covers. In this manner the
is removed entirely with
the resultant saving in cost and profit.
In addition to this any rentals for
First National attractions coming |
from territories in which sub-fran-l
chises have not been granted are rel
turned to the sub-franchise holders
in the form of dividends on a stock
interest each has in the main fran
chise for the particular distributing
territory.
