Vol. 30, No. 8 Universal Weekly 11 Service Contracts in nping Headquarters! Amazing as it is, it would have been far more amazing to you if any other company had so simply solved the problems of small exhibitors. And the plan is simplicity itself! You’ll not need a Philadelphia lawyer to sit at your side and steer you through the mazes of legal problems. We will submit to you a contract as easily understood as our regular Complete Service Contract which hitherto has affected silent pictures only. We will submit a contract with which you are perfectly familiar. As for its fairness, 1 am willing to let it be judged by any moving picture man or any moving picture editor who knows the business. It is such a godsend to the others who are signing it that they don’t even care what the contract says — they know Universal has made good in the past and that it will make good on this. Universal has solved the sound problem. It isn’t half as hard as we all thought it was. In solving this problem for itself, it has solved it for you — and I now pass on to you without delay all the benefits of our ex perience, our experiments, our organization and our equipment. There is nothing like it in the whole world — nothing like this new proposition. 1 advise you to get it while it is still available to your house!
