io over six hundred in Italy and to over four hundred in Spain. In the United States ' HENRY VIII ' has booked io over five thousand eight hundred theatres, and there is no country in the world except Russia where the film is not booked. The whole industry wailed for our next film. The question was could we keep up the self-created standard. The answer was ' CATHERINE THE GREAT ' ! It was the same success the world over! 'CATHERINE THE GREAT' is now in its twelfth week in the West End, its fifth week on Broadway, its tenth week in Paris and long runs in almost every capital in the world. It has booked to over six thousand theatres in the United States, twelve hundred theatres in France, six hundred and forty five in Italy and five hundred in Spain. No other British Company can even approach this record ; no big American Company can surpass it and very few can equal it. We struggled hard to achieve this position. We mean to keep it and to surpass with every new film the past successes. We do not offer you a great quantity of mediocre films / the public is tired of them ; the exhibitor is losing money on them! The public wants new ideas, great pictures. It is the only remedy against empty houses. Look at this list of our forthcoming films. H. G. Wells wrote for us his first original film story. It will show you THE HUNDRED YEARS TO COME ! A gigantic problem to solve. The prophetic genius of H. G. Wells will answer the questions of every man about tomorrow and after. How the new war will be fought, how the new world will be built. The answers to these questions are the themes of this film which will be produced under the personal supervision of the Author. Our next film is already in production. LONDON FILM PRODUCTIONS will present shortly Mr. Douglas Fairbanks in ' THE PRIVATE LIFE OF DON JUAN/ The story is written by Lajos Biro; the dialogue and the filmplay by CONDON FILM PRODUCTIONS 138
