This is understood to mean that each additional member if there are any will become financially interested in the distributing company. As a matter of fact, it would not come as any great surprise if the contracts entered upon by Allied for product be turned over to other distributors and the disintegration of the company occur faster than Fairbanks indicated. When Allied was formed, the popular reason attributed to the organization of the company was the fact that Charlie Chaplin did not want what he termed mediocre stars placed in the same category as the original "Big Four." To placate him, then, the subsidiary company was formed. It is now understood that Chaplin is again dissatisfied with the kind of pictures that have gone out through Allied. It will be recalled that Mack Sennett has arranged his releases with Allied. This was done on the coast with Pickford and Fairbanks and yet under the original agreement, Sennett was to work on a running arrangement without any sfcjjpulatipn as to the number of pictures he was to make for Allied. Whether his release bears any weight on the general situation remains to be seen. Detroit — Carl Sonin, manager of the Warner exchange, has moved the office to 605 Film Bldg. "DICK" ROWLAND one of the heads of First National looks at pictures with the cold eye of the representative of hundreds of important exhibitors. He figures box office value first, artistic finish second and in the final analysis — how much the picture will gross for his company and ITS CLIENTS. Last week he saw THE POT OF DRAMA AND PEARL OF COMEDY And when the final fadeout occurred, approached the producer and said: "THAT IS ONE OF THE GREAT PICTURES OF ALL TIMES. THERE IS NO ESTIMATING ITS VALUE. THERE IS NOTHING TO BE DESIRED. IT HAS EVERYTHING." AND MR. ROWLAND WAS SPEAKING FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT EXHIBITORS IN AMERICA. LATER HE WIRED HIS CO-DIRECTORS TO THE ABOVE EFFECT.
