Life“ at Rothacker Plant
„A Dog‘s Life,“ first of Charlie Chaplin‘s new $1,000,000
comedy series, has been completed, and the negative
is being personally conducted by Syd Chaplin, where he will
deliver the negative to representatives of the First
National Exhibitors‘ Circuit on April 8. (...)
Watterson Rothacker has guaranteed to utilize every
facility at his command in the big Chicago laboratory
to prepare enough prints of „A Dog‘s Life“ so that all of the
twenty-five numbers of the circuit will be enabled
to announce a pre-release showing of the comedy on April 14.
The regular publication date has finally been
set for April 21.

„A new record of speed“
Editorial content. „First National Praises Rothacker Work
THAT the Rothacker Film Manufacturing Company,
of Chicago, is turning out the kind of work that satisfies even
the most critical in the industry, is plainly evident
in a letter which the First National Exhibitors‘ Circuit, Inc.,
through Secretary H. Schwalbe, has written to
Watterson R. Rothacker.
Expressions of commendation concerning the nature
of the Rothacker work, and its good results, have
been heard on every side, but non are more emphatic than
the First National letter, which follows:
The Rothacker Film Manufacturing Co.,
1339 Diversey Parkway,
Chicago, Ill.
(Attention of Mr. Watterson R. Rothacker)
Dear Mr. Rothacker: – We desire to express our sincere
thanks to you for having so admirably taken care
of our requirements in the printing of the Charlie Chaplin
release – A Dog‘s Life.“ (...)
„Turning out over two hundred prints of a three reel
picture in the short time that you have done this
week certainly establishes a new record of speed, particularly
when the fact is taken into consideration that the
development and photography is up to the highest standard
in every way.
Yours very truly,
First National Exhibitors‘ Circuit, Inc..
H. Schwalbe, Sec.“
