Exhibitor Saves Williams’s Life
Bob Williams, Accessories Manager at Buffalo, recently made a proposition to the Crescent Theatre, Ithaca, N. Y., wherein he wanted this theatre to use additional advertising on the next twenty pictures which had been booked them.
In mak'ng the proposition Williams wrote the exhibitor : “If this isn’t a good proposition I’ll fling my hat into Niagara Gorge and hang on to it.”
The following reply arrived by return mail: “It will be unnecessary to carry out your threat. We’ll save your life and remit immediately.”

HOW THEY RELEASE PICTURES IN AUSTRALIA
In a brief way [ will tell you our method of releasing the product in this part of the globe.
Down here we have what is known as “Weekly Releases,” consisting of two features, comedy, Burtcn Holmes Travelogue, Australian and American Gazettes, except for the fourth week of every month, when one feature which is termed a “special” is released with a comedy, travelogue and American and Australian Gazette.
Invariably a month’s releases consist of five Paramounts and two Realarts.
In addition to the year’s weekly releases we have what is known as “long run productions,” or “super specials,” which last year were “The Affairof Anatol,” “The Sheik,” “Saturday Night," "Fool’s Paradise,” “Beyond the Rocks,” and “Forever.”
This year the long run productions are “Blood and Sand,” “Manslaughter,” “The Old Homestead,” “To Have and To Hold,” and others.
These releases are standards for Australia and New Zealand. After being in use a certain length of time, two prints of each subject are sent to our far eastern branches, that is, one print to Batavia and the other to Singapore. However, before forwarding these prints to the far east, we assure ourselves that no exchange is deprived of revenue on this account.
New Zealand receives its entire supply of film and other important matters direct from America Dr the reason that it has protective tariff of its own and also facilitates a considerable saving of
time.

ALL ABOARD FOR APRIL AND MAY LET’S GO!
