RACE FILM CORPORATION HEADS HOLD CONFERENCE ■ ■ 1 1 Mr. Oscar Micheaux, president of the Micheaux Film Corporation, Chi cago, arrived in the city last Friday for a conference with Mr. Geo. P. Johnson, manager Lincoln Motion Pic ture Corporation, Los Angeles, Cal., remaining throughout the day, leav ing on the evening train for a board of directors meeting at Sioux City, la. It is rumored from authentic sources that these two successful race film producing corporations are planning some form of a gigantic merger, headed by eastern capitalists, in which the production and distribution end of their business will be consolidated under one management. The production and distribution of first class photo-plays catering to colored patronage has passed the ex perimental stage and arrived at a point that with executive manage ment and sufficient capital, its future international success is assured. The Lincoln Motion Picture Co. (Inc.) has successfully catered to the national trade since 1916; being the only race firm in the country to pro duce steadily for a period longer than three years. The Micheaux Film Co., organized in 1918, has successfully produced and marketed one feature production, and has just completed its second now being released in Chicago and to be hown in Omaha in the near future.
