Do You Want Us To Sell...
UNIVERSAL FILMS |
ON THE
OPEN MARKET?
. The Universal Film Manufacturing Company is seriously considering the plan of selling its releases on the open market in many sections of the United States and Canada, owing to the unsatisfactory manner in which its product is being handled in such territory. The object of this move would be to get Universal films into the hands of many hundreds of exhibitors who really want them but are unable to secure them under prevailing conditions. This advertisement is for the purpose of ascertaining what men or companies or film buyers of any description would be interested in such a proposition; what their resources are; how much of our film they could buy and so on. We not only invite immediate telegrams from such persons but we suggest the advisability of their coming to New York, if they are sufficiently interested, to discuss the matter thoroughly with a view to making definite arrangements at once. If the open market is the coming thing in America the UNIVERSAL is desirous of establishing oe it, taking the lead in this matter just as it has always taken the lead in film affairs since the Universal company was formed. If we receive assurance of enough support in establishing the open market, we are ready to take the initial step without further delay. We also solicit communications from big theatre interests, giving their views on a{tentative plan for furnishing Universal films direct to such theatres instead of a middle man.
DON'T WAIT TO WRITE. TELEGRAPH IMMEDIATELY. j
