TAHT IX. 237 Pittsbin-li, l*a.: Crystal Hicatcr, Samuel McKim, S(iO I^>ra(l(lock Avcmio. WoiKh^'land Theater, William Irwin, HTl l>ra(l(l()(*k Avcnnc.

In each of the above cases, the theater was found to be showing licensed film, which film was seized by the manufacturers to whom it belonged. The licensed manufacturers are taking action in every case where unlicensed theaters are using th(dr film, and' such cases are being vigorously pushed. The Patents Co. insists upon the strict observance of the conditions under which film is issued, and no theater not being licensed will be permitted to use licensed film. (Sept. 15, 1909, I, 112-113.) The attention of exhibitors is called to that rule of this company which forbids the use of unlicensed film on licensed projecting machines. Licensed exhibitors are permitted to use only film that is made or imported by licensed manufacturers or importers and leased by licensed exchanges, and a few specially licensed films, such as the film of the Johnson-Burns fight. This rule prohibits the use of special pictures, such as those of parades, conventions, or other current events or local scenes, if made by unlicensed manufacturers.
