THE is&ai DAILY Wednesday, September 10, 1924 Many Sites Picked {^Continued from Page 1) It is urtderstood Warner representatives have been at work quietly for six months past, acquiring sites. Explaining his company's situation, Warner said: "We are an independent concern. We are determined to show the public our pictures and so are building theaters for that purpose. It is not through any wish on our part to enter the exhibiting end of the business, but is more a protective measure to ourselves and the exhibitor that we intend to erect our theaters in the larger cities. "So serious has the situation become through the interference of the so-called 'moving picture trust,' in gaining control of all theaters of any consequence in the United States, we cannot show our pictures because of the lack of suitable houses." It is understood the theaters will be operated under a corporation entirely separate from production and distribution. F. M. Murphy and Lewis Gieb, respectively electrical engineer and technical director of the Warner organization, will confer with architects and builders after Harry Warner reaches New York. $500,00 for Atlanta House (.Special to THE FILM DAILY) Atlanta — Local newspapers yesterday announced plans for the erection of a $500,000 theater here by the Warners.

"Representatives of the American, English and German school of acting." "There cannot be in reality an international film, said Dr. Kallman yesterday. That is impossible, because the actors of each country are of their own nationality. But we can — and intend — making pictures which will have a world appeal; perhaps an American story, with some Americans in the cast, some Germans, some others, but produced and made in Berlin. We are even hoping to see "Siegfried" presented in the Opera House in Paris; something which was impossible before the London Reparation Conference. German pictures are being shown in Paris now, to a greater extent than French pictures". "Yolanda" Held Over in L. A.
