KEYSTONE FILM COMPANY
Mutual Film Corporation BO Wall St, Hew York City, Sole Agents lor II. S. and Canada
1 Q 1 9 In March, Harry E. Aitken and John R. Freuler, I J I L who had controlled the Western Film Exchange of Milwaukee in 1906, formed the Mutual Film Corporation to combine several independent exchanges into a pattern like General Film Company, which had been formed in 1910 to engage in the distribution of films. The companies joining Mutual included Thanhouser, American, Reliance and Majestic. Carl Laemmle, whose Imp Company was prospering, countered with the formation on June 8, 1912, of the Universal Film Manufacturing Company. Companies releasing through Universal, besides Imp, included Victor, Rex, Eclair, Powers and Nestor. The independents were now in two camps bucking General Film. Adam Kessel and Charles Rauman, the founders of the Bison Film Company, were impressed with Mack Sennett's work at Biograph and put up $1,500 as a trial for Sennett to make three pictures of one reel each. He was to have a share of the profits and a salary of one hundred dollars a week. It was the beginning of the famous Keystone Comedies. The name and the trade-mark were adopted from the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mack Sennett signed Mabel Normand, Ford Sterling and Fred Mace, and the first Keystone Comedy, called "Cohen At Coney Island," was released September 23, 1912. Helen Gardner left Vitagraph and formed the Helen Gardner Picture Corporation, with a studio at Tappan-on-the-Hudson. She was the first star to form her own company.
