Louis Rosenbluh, Cross Examination. 713
by you that you did not handle specials advertised as exclusively supplied by the General Film Company. That she made arrangements with the General Film Company and became one of their customers and got specials? A. Yes, sir.
Q. After getting these specials, she came back to you, did she not? A. For several weeks she was doing business there.
Q. Then she came back to you, didn't she? A. Yes.
Q. Is she still doing business with you? A. The house is. She does not own the house. She sold the place.
Q. And the house gets specials from you now? A. Yes, sir.
Q. These specials that she could not get at the time she left and went to the General Film Company were films that they handled exclusively, were they not? A. In this country. Some of those, some specials, were imported from the other side, and they were in the independents' hands, but we could not use those.
Q. Referring to the great majority of the motion pictures that you handled, is not the value of the film to you largely dependent upon its age? A. Will you repeat that question, please?
The stenographer repeats the question.
A. Some reels are and others are not.
Q. I am speaking of the great majority of them? A. The majority of them are; yes.
Q. Do you charge differently for the service of programs which you furnish to exhibitors? A. Yes; varied.
Q. And does this price vary for programs containing the same number of reels and the same number of changes a week? A. Yes, sir.
Q. And that is based upcn the age of the film, is it not, largely? A. Not always.
Q. Largely? A. Very often it depends upon the distance that the customer is away from the exchange, and the conditions surrounding that particular exhibitor's business.
Q. Now, leaving that as it is, let us suppose that you are dealing with exhibitors who are about the same distance from the exchange, and who are equally accessible. Does the price vary for programs containing the same number of reels and the same number of exchanges, to those people?
