4 The Moving Picture Weekly April 1, 1922 The Only Company No. 275. — Straight from the Shoulder Talk by Carl Laemmle, President of the Universal Film Manufacturing Company I HE Universal company is the only American concern in the moving picture business which has 'PRODUCED AND DISTRIBUTED ITS OWN PICTURES FOR TEN SOLID YEARS! We're not going to celebrate this as an anniversary in the customary sense as used in the film business. We started the anniversary habit in screen circles and we apologize for it. It has been imitated by practically every company, even when some of them had no anniversaries. It has become such a habit that it has fairly run many an exhibitor ragged. This time Pve turned all Universal Exchanges, body, soul and breeches, over to the EMPLOYEES. Not for just a week, but for the months of April and May. During those two months the EMPLOYEES WILL RUN THE WORKS TO SUIT THEMSELVES. They have already worked out a plan to include the exhibitors in the benefits to be derived during that period. The lion's share of the profits for April and May will go to the EMPLOYEES. Each exchange intends to share some of the profits with you, and no two Universal exchanges are compelled to adopt the same plan. Frankly, I don't care a rap what they do so long as they AND THEIR CUSTOMERS are satisfied.
