32 THE SHOW WORLD M ay 15, 1909. I am as happy as a big sunflower over the way the exhibitors are receiving the Independent Films from the Inter national Projecting&Producing Company. Today (Tuesday) I saw some more Independent Films run off—a new bunch—and they are scream¬ ers, every one! Maybe it isn’t very digni fied to dance a joy jig in public like this, but who cares a doggone for dignity! If you are not using Independent Films, you’re missing the biggest hits of your life and that’s absolutely the truth! Get into the band wagon. WRITE Special to Users of Trust Films: — Are you paying your license out of your own pocket? If so, you are not getting a square deal. Most of the licenses are being paid by the licensed renters, in¬ stead of the exhibitors, and if your exchange is not paying yours, you are being worked for an easy mark. Read my advertisement. I intend to tell you the straight news of what’s going on. Then when you get good and sick of what you are up against, deal with me and forget all about licenses. Have you paid $2 for a license to have your hair cut this week? CARL LAEMMLE, President The Laemmle Film Service CHICAGO Write to my nearest office—see list above. Every one is in charge of a genuine hustler who will work his head off to give you better films and better service than you ever dreamed of.
