Exhibit Exclusive Pic
! ture Of Signing.

Almost as remarkable in the eyes Of
conservative Europeans as the actual
signing itself of the Locarno treaty,
was the fact that motion pictures of
this great historical event were made.
The momentous motion pictures that
were made will be shown exclusively
In the United States at leading thea
tiers By International Newsrcel, COM
mencing December u.
Without exception, the 200 news
paper correspondents assembled in the
historic Great Hall of the Foreign Of
flee In London, devoted immense
amounts Of space to the fact that mo-
ton pictures were made of the sign
ing of the pact.
Not since the signing of the Treaty
of Versailles, has there been gathered
together such an assemblage of pleni-
potentiaries of European nations.
In the opinion of the European CORE
spondents, the signing of the treaty
stands as one of the greatest events
of all time, comparable with the Dec
laration of Independence and the
signing of the Treaty Of Client.
TINGE OF UNBELIEF.
Some correspondents point out what
wonderful thing it would have been
10 have had motion pictures Of the
signing of these other treaties which
have had such influence upon world
events.
Underneath the surface of their
amazement that this epochal event
has been recorded for posterity in
thrilling motion pictures, is tinge Of
almost unbelief that s-ch sacred pre-
cincts should have been invaded by the
motion picture camera.
Surely the cameraman has ar
rived" one of the correspondents
cablcd, while another wrote:
One almost expected to hear the
voice of the director shouting, "A little

AGE OF SILVER SCREEN.
Everything happened amid binding
white movie lights and the buzing of
motion picture cameras. As one spec
tator said:
"If it is not the age of golden
peace, it is surely the age of the silver
screen. In fact, it was difficult at
times to remember that the famous
statesmen seated around the green
table signing the document which is
destined to be a part Of world history
were not a cast Of famous players
making q film"
The amazement Of the London news
papers and the foreign correspondents
brought forth editorial comment from
many newspapers. The New York
World stated:
Describing the ceremony Of signing
the Treaties Of Locarno, foreign cor
respondents are family ironical be-
cause the moving picture men played
80 prominent part in it. Yet, when
you think it over, the presence of the
moving picture men was perhaps the
most appropriate part of the whole
business"

"On Tuesday came the climax: The
