Exhibitor's Trade Review (Sep-Nov 1924)

October 25, 1924 Page 41 'With The Independent Distridutors TAINTED FLAPPER' IS BREAKING RECORDS "The Painted Flapper" produced by Chadwick Pictures Corporation for the independent market this season, as its third production in the Chadwick 9, bids fair to outdistance even such a master picture as "The Fire Patrol" in its box-office strength and in popularity with movie fans. "The Painted Flapper," according to reports from Pittsburgh last week broke the records of the new Schenley theatre there, doing more business than the three presentations at the Schenley that preceded it. The Schenley, one of Pittsburgh's finest theatres, was opened four weeks ago. I. E. Chadwick, president of Chadwick Pictures Corporation is reported to be highly gratified with the exhibitors' comment he is receiving from all over the country and from the exchanges who are handling his product. FRANKLYN FARNUM A PROUD FATHER W. Ray Johnston, President of Rayart Pictures Corporation, announces that the super-special which is being released through that organization on November 1st, which was originally called, "A Woman Scorned," has been given the permanent title of "For Another Woman," as it was found that "A Woman Scorned" is being used by another company for one of their forthcoming releases. "For Another Woman" features Kenneth Harlan, Kathryn Riddell, Mary Thurman, Alan Hale, Tyrone Power, Arnold Daly and Florence Billings. * * # CRANFIELD & CLARKE ADD NEW DEPARTMENT Cranfield & Clarke has gone and done it! A Scenario and Play Department has been added by Cranfield & Clarke to their many activities, thereby creating a precedent. This is absolutely the first time a state right distributing organization has ever entered this field of endeavor. This department will be supervised under the sole management of Forrester Harvey. Forrester Harvey has enjoyed an enviable reputation for many years as the official play and scenario reader for most of the largest theatrical managers and motion picture producers of London. Harvey comes to America with the well wishes and many promises of cooperation of several American directors who have made pictures in England in the past, and who have had occasion for Harvey's services while in that country. Forrester Harvey is the sole American representative for several famous dramatists and novelists among whom are included : R. C. Carton, H. V. Esmond, Marmaduke Pickthall, and many others. The Stoll Film Company of London are at present at work on "Not For Sale," by Monica Ewer, which was placed through Forrester Harvey's office in London. The objective of this newly formed department will be to delve into all sorts of foreign literature for the nucleous necessary for practical adaptation for the screen, this way saving the scenario department of the various producing companies a great deal of work. This new department will be called the Cranfield-Clarke & Harvey Scenario and Play Department, and will have for its slogan the following phase : "You want the best plays and books — We have them." The London address of this department is : Broadmead House, 21 Panton St., S. W. i, London, England. The New York address is, Cranfield & Clarke, Inc., 729 7th Ave., New York, N. Y. * * * JESEE J. GOLDBURG TO RETURN SOON Jesse J. Goldburg, president of the Independent Pictures Corp., who has been out on the coast for the past eight weeks personally supervising the production of the Helen Holbes-William Desmons, Bill Cody, Franklyn Farnum, and Bob Custer series, is expected back in New York next week for a brief stay after which he will again journey out to the coast to supervise the filming of the remaining pictures of the various series.
