IS LIG BUSINESS ADJUNCT By C. L. OLIVER. Omaha rapidly jumping * into prominence as a film center from the | standpoint of the producing compa~ | nies. When we consider the business | from the standpoint of the busineu; interests of Omaha it is even of more | importance. Briefly, let us consider some of the real facts about the film business as it affects Omaha. | First, it may surprise you to know that there are sixteen exchanges do- | ing business in the Omaha territory— | is offices and exchanges and five main- | taining representatives in the field but rendering service from_other gloxi'nlx The companies maintaining exchanges | in Omaha are Laemmle (Universal), | Bluebird, General, Pathe, Mutual, | World, Fox, International, Triangle, Western Supply company and Fonte- | nelle Feature Film company. Metro serves from Des Moines, and V. L. S. £., Paramount, Vitagraph, serve from Kansas City. To the latter might be added the new Federal Film corpora- | tion in Kansas City, The latest addi- | tions to exchanges in Omaha are the | International, Western Supply com-i pany and the Fontenelle. The combined film rentals paid into | Omaha exchanges every weefi is $24,~ 350; this in one year totals $1,266,200, | | Some say it is more than this, but | there are no figures available for the outside companies, so it is difficult to | reach an exact total. That i: big enough, however, to give an indication of the importance of the business. | The exchanges located in Omaha | |employ considerable help and the sal- ' |ary list is no mean item. An'exchange | doing any considerable business, and |all of them here are prospering, must have managers, stenographers, book- i keepers, salesmen, clerks, inspectors and other miscellaneous employes. The salary list for these institutions is very close to $3,050 a week, or | $158,600 a year. | ‘Considering that the film busincss is only about as old as a chiid enter- |ing high school, and in Omaha not | exceeding ten years, it has attained quite husky proportions and has a right to be considered a very jmpor- tant Fart of Omaha’s business life. If |in fifteen years a business can rise from nothing to the fifth industry in the United States, what will be its proportions in another ten years, and what will be Omaha’s part in it then? Chuck Chaplin in “The Bank” at Rex Theater Today Charlie Chaplin will perform at the Rex theater today in “The Bank,” one of his most popular comedies.” Mon- day Helen Holmes is starred in the | serial called “The Lass of the Lume | berlands.” Comedy and drama will also be shown.
