Moving Picture Age (Jan-Dec 1922)

34 MOVING PICTURE AGE February, 1922 Announcing a New Service STATEMENTS are often made that there is an insufficient supply of educational films, and that for this reason the educational use of the motion picture is slow in developing. NEITHER of the above statements is now true, nical and also generally educational, is available. An almost unlimited supply of films, both highly tech I can supply films on the following general subjects: (Note: These films are for sale — not for rental.) GENERAL SCIENCE Biology Botany Chemistry Forestry Geology Mathematics Physics Zoology Miscellaneous LITERATURE Greek and Roman French German English \ Shakespeare American CIVIC AND SOCIAL MATTERS Government American ization Economics GEOGRAPHY United States Philippines Canada Latin and South America Asia Africa Australia England Northern and Eastern Europe Western Europe HEALTH, GENERAL Hygiene Dentistry Surgery Eyesight Medicine Feet ARTS Architecture Opera Miscellaneous RELIGIOUS Bible INDUSTRIAL CARTOONS HISTORY Greek and Roman Mediaeval Modern European English American Pre-Revolutionary American Revolutionary American Post-Revolutionary American Civil War to 1914 Great War FEATURES 1000 Reels COMEDIES 500 Reels THE slow development^. the field is due to lack of complete knowledge and experience, as much as to any other factor. While the^ theatrical man's problem is very simple, namely, to entertain, the non-theatrical man faces a much more complicated situation. He is frequently called upon both to entertain and to instruct at the same time, and to perform both of these functions within very narrow limits of price. He must make each dollar do the work of two; and he must have superior films. ONLY a very comprehensive grasp of the many factors involved will enable any one distributing unit to serve efficiently and profitably the requirements of a given locality. Failure has been almost always the result of non-coordinated effort, applied sporadically. The non-theatrical film business, being young, is without fixed standards of practice. Each man has tried to be a law unto himself. 1CAN now offer suggestions based upon much practical experience, as well as numerous trade and professional connections, which enable me to render valuable services in assisting various non-theatrical distributing enterprises. I am prepared to help lay the foundations for success in any local undertaking with EXACTLY SUITABLE FILMS and KNOWLEDGE OF DISTRIBUTION THE supply of films I have noted above. Advice on distribution I am prepared to submit in the form of a detailed report, based upon personal inspection of any problem which may be presented. In a word, the professional services of myself and my associates are available to any non-theatrical distributing or exhibiting enterprise, whether public, semi-public, or private. My report would cover such items as: 1. Present extent of the local field for distribution. 6. 2. Possibilities for development. 7. 3. Methods of development. 8. 4. List of suitable films available, together with costs. 9. 5. Methods of financing the enterprise. 10. With an accurate and coordinated view of the ten points noted above, success will follow. I invite inquiry from any group interested in the establishment or development of any type of non-theatI en tern rise. Supplementary lines of endeavor. Possibilities for profit. Possibilities for service. Type of organization required.
