PAT HEPICTURES Advantages of the Pathe Service PATHE is the oldest motion picture company in the industry. Throughout the twenty-five years of its existence as an organization, it has maintained a sound, dignified and conservative policy. Pathe was a pioneer as a producer and distributor of educational pictures. We have always recognized the importance of the motion picture as an educational and social force and stand ready to assist any religious, social, educational or industrial group that desires to use the motion picture as an aid to its endeavors. Pathe has national distribution and through its thirty-four branches in the large cities of the country, service can be rendered quickly and efficiently in any part of the United States. Pathe can quote a consistently low rental price for pictures of the best quality. You may get poorer pictures for less, but you will not get better ones for more. Pathe sends pictures out in good physical condition and requests, in turn, that they be returned promptly after they are shown. Pathe has a great variety of pictures in subject matter and in length. Whatever the purpose of your show, entertaining, instructive, constructive programs can be built from the wealth of available material listed and described in this catalogue. If you wish advice or assistance of any kind write to the Educational Department. Pathe Exchange, Inc., 35 West 45th Street, New York City. Explanatory The handling and storag" of film is expensive and it is not always practicable to have prints of all pictures in every branch. There are sometimes frequent demands for older pictures in one locality and only occasional calls in another. In the distribution of pictures that are past their first youth and not as active as they once were, we place prints in one branch subject to calls from other offices comparatively near. This plan makes prints available though more time is sometimes consumed in getting a picture. Make your bookings well in advance of the date of showing and the Pathe Office can get you anything on our lists that you want.
