The business of the Compnay was interfered with by the coming on of the World's War, in so far as exhibiting such pictures in foreign countries or even successfully in the United States, and for these reasons the business has not been pressed until recently.

In Witness Whereof, The President of the said corporation has hereunto set his hand and caused the corporate seal to be affixed this 25th day of September, A. D. 1922
