Congratulations,“ Pat!” H ERE’S the glad hand for the first issue of The Show World! That it may live long and prosper; that it may gain the success deserved by its founder, Mr. Patrick; that it may prove to be a show-me as well as a Show World;—all this is the earnest, sincere wish of the Laemmle crowd. If it will carry out its intentions of giving the moving picture business the atten¬ tion and boosting that it is entitled to, then it’s a foregone conclusion that Mr. Patrick’s magazine will gain and retain the ardent support of every man interested in the moving picture business. So again it’s a case of “Congratulations, Pat!” And a Word With You, Mr. Manager! W HEN this reaches your eye, I will be in Europe, doing a little scouring on my own hook. I am looking for new films, new machines, new acces¬ sories, new schemes to boost the moving picture game. I don’t know that Europe has got anything on America in this line, but that’s what I intend to find out. I am going to establish Laemmle representatives in Paris, in London, in Berlin, and anywhere else where there’s anything doing in my line. Naturally my customers are going to get the benefit of this scouring expedition. You ought to be my customer. You need a bang-up service, the newest films, the quickest shipments of machines and other supplies. I’m the one who will turn the trick for you—I’ve got the fastest growing film renting business in America, and there’s a cracking good reason for it! Write to my Chicago or New York address today and see what sort of an answer you’ll get. CARL LAEMMLE, President I Give Free Newspaper Ads and Illustrations to My Film Customers. They’re the Greatest Business-Getters and the Best Proposition in the Moving Picture Business
