THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD
Mr. Exhibitor:
\\T 7E are able to sense the mental impression you have been holding for weeks \A/ and weeks as regards the National Programme, so, too, we are able to * * understand your interest and desire for full information ; now that we have come upon facts :
THE LONG-ANTICIPATED ANNOUNCEMENT OF READINESS TO SERVE — we know in advance that question upon your lips, and we answer
that we hold a satisfying reply — QUALITY, in every foot we will release.
Of our American films let us say that nothing will be lacking, in that each producer will devote himself to productions of CHARACTERISTIC SUBJECTS, subjects which environment and natural conditions fit them to handle; namely, The Western Drama ; all ability and energy will be devoted to carefully working out of this type of drama. In our foreign production, we believe that the supplies of the trade awaits the public in the line we are importing. Never in the history of human endeavor was so much power, conviction, technical skill and dramatic conception combined in a product. —
American brains and the matchless climate of European countries have been injected into our foreign productions. — A Sarah Bernhardt has been able to win the applaudits of American audiences before; that power, that spark of personality with which her every effort before the footlights seems endowed, cannot have died out, and our products from foreign shores carrying the efforts of stars of the first magnitude must win recognition and support. Such we pledge to give you; such you will be asked to ally yourself with, and we are going forward with the conviction that the National Programme embodying these things with the exclusive idea must carry us as well as yourselves to the front ranks.
