worked up over this affair, and many benefits have been given in their aid. Not to be behind in this affair, some of the independent manufacturers have started a movement to secure Madison Square Garden and give a big film exhibition for the benefit of the Washington Square sufferers. At this writing, this movement has only been started, and there is no way of telling of the final outcome, but we hope that it will succeed. It certainly is a laudable idea.
Among the film manufacturers, things appear to be progressing very smoothly. The patent situation has developed no radical changes, and each side is apparently waiting for the next move.
The Champion Film Company will soon begin to make its second release ; also, in a short time, the Nestor will commence to release western subjects.
Champion Doubles Output
Beginning April 17 the Champion Film Company will make two releases a week. This announcement has great interest for exhibitors and has a number of unusual features.
