& Mutual Moves Into New Chicago Home
THE Mutual Film corporation comes „home“
to Chicago today.
The executive offices of the corporation, operating sixty-eight
exchanges in the United States and Canada, are being
removed from New York because of the important advantages
of Chicago as a distribution point.
The executive staff and equipment will arrive on a special
express train, moved at „war speed“ to avoid
possible delay incident to the threatened railway strike.
The new headquarters are to occupy a floor
in the Consumers building. (...)
The removal of the Mutual offices to Chicago is part
of a program put in operation by Mr. Freuler soon
after his election to the presidency of the corporation in June,
-
1915.It is really a homecoming, for the Mutual Film
corporation was born of a conference of film men held by Mr.
Freuler at the Hotel La Salle in 1907.
„Chicago, for many reasons, principal among them
location, shipping facilities, and general service,
is the best point from which to direct any great national
distribution,“ observed Mr. Freuler en route.
„Location is particularly important to a motion picture concern,
because time is almost as big an element as in
newspaper service. We shall continue, however, to operate
export offices and to hold official representation
in New York, which until today has been the undisputed
film capital.“

Editorial content. „E. A. R. THEATRE
The E. A. R. is essentially the neighborhood house for
ladies and children, and every effort is made to make
their visits to this pretty house most enjoyable. Its cleanliness,
superior ventilation and absolute good order is strong
in its favor, and the entertaining feature is the music on the
big pipe organ by that prince of organists, Robert
Stronach, who has few equals and no superiors in the city. (...)
