Rothacker-Aller Will Help Russia
F)R. A. ALTSCHULER of Moscow, has been appointed by Watterson R. Rothacker and Joseph Aller as representative in Russia of the Rothacker Film Mfg. Co., of Chicago, and the Rothacker-Aller Laboratories, Los Angeles.
The rebuilding of Russian industries will be largely a matter of training young men to take the places the industrial engineers, manager, specialists, who have passed on to a land where Bolshevism is unknown.
The quickest, most effective, way to give these young men of Russia the required training would be to bring them to America for intensive study in American industrial plants. That would be impractical. However, the American industries can be taken to them — via the film magic carpet.
Watterson R. Rothacker was the pioneer practical picture producer and there is no American industry which has not been fiilmed by the Rothacker organization. From pictures now in the Rothacker vaults young Russians can be given a comprehensive and practical education in any branch of industry.
Many of these Rothacker pictures were produced for other than educational purposes. But it is merely a case of re-editing to make them purely educational.
Simeon Altschuler, who with J. Wesley Smith is engaged in the Furnishing Studio Service in Los Angeles, will give these films a preliminary editing in this country. Dr. Altschuler will do the final editing in Russia.
Dr. Altschuler early foresaw the part the motion pictures of American industries would play in the rehabilitation of Russia. For over a year he has been negotiating with the Rothacker organizations. He is now prepared to import Rothacker pictures on a wholesale scale when the propitious time arrives.
Incidentally these pictures will accomplish a great deal toward opening a market in Russia for those American Products which the Russian students will see manufactured on the Silversheet.
Dr. Altschuler is a brother of Simeon Altschuler an dof Joe Aller, resident head of the Rothacker-Aller Laboratories. He was educated in the University of Moscow and has traveled extensively. During the entire war he was identified with the Russian Red Cross.
