“LET’S KILL THE IMP COMPANY !!t”
Carl Laemmle Tells the Inside Story of a Fight Now Being Waged Against the Independent Moving Pictures Company of America, Makers of the Famous “Imp Films.”
—I have found that it pays to keep Moving Picture EXHIBITORS posted on everything that is going on behind closed doors among film exchanges and film manufacturers. It has won me the friendship of thousands of EXHIBITORS who have benefited by the fact that I have always given them the real facts straight from the shoulder.
—Therefore I write this advertisement. think best.
—A few days ago, in Pittsburgh, several film exchanges formed an agreement for the purpose
of “killing the Imp Company.” The result was that they simultaneously cancelled their standing orders for “Imp films.”
—I can’t swear what was the reason for this, but | believe it must be a personal attack on me, inspired by petty jealousy and envy. I can not believe it is caused by anything else, for I firmly believe that Imp films are the best in the world this very minute.
—Of course the attempt to “kill the Imp Company” can not succeed. But it shows a desire among certain exchanges to accomplish that end. It also goes to prove that certain exchanges will never buy Imp films unless you (as their customer) compel them to do so. This is why I have been advertising, week after week, telling you to demand Imp films IF YOU WANT THEM!
—The whole power to make or break any film manufacturer or any film exchange on God’s
green earth rests with YOU, MR. EXHIBITOR. But that power is not worth a hoorah in Hades unless you USE IT.
—If your exchange is not buying Imp films you are suffering in order that your exchange may wreak its petty spite upon me. If you are content to stand for this, well and good. But if you want Imp films, if you really agree that they are the best money makers for you, then the thing for you to do is to trade with an exchange which WILL GIVE YOU THE FILMS YOU DEMAND.
—Once you take a determined stand you can get anything you want out of your exchange. You can even force my bitterest enemies to buy Imp films and furnish you with them REGULARLY.
—Now, please cut out and save the following list. It shows just what exchanges are buying ALL IMP FILMS PRODUCED. Unless your exchange is on this list, IT IS NOT BUYING IMP FILMS. If it is not on this list, switch your business to whatever exchange IS on the list, and you can get all the Imp films released every week:
