CHRISTIE FILMS
Establliha Not1 Exchange for
Handling of "Funny
Christie Picture."
"AL" CHRISTIE FAMOUS
Lovers of a good, strong, spontane
ous laugh will be pleased to know
that "Al ChrUtie," famous ai a pro
ducer of comedy films for the Nestor
Branch of the Universal Co., has em
barked into the producing game on
his own accord.
Such is the case, and a program
of hilarious Christie Films is quite
ready for booking through a special
local exchange, formed for the pur
nose. In fact, no less a personage
than "Van," or Van Husan, to be
proper, manages the local agency,
which is styled the Christie Comedy
Exchange, with quarters at 301 Na
tional buildinir, corner 12th and
Harney Sts., Omaha.
Al Christie retains most all of the
humor dispensers who have worked
with him so successfully during his
career with the Nestor people, and
Billie Rhodes, The Sunshine Girl of
the Films, takes a liberal share of
stellar honors.
Among the early Christie releases
are "A Seminary Scandal," "His
Baby," "By the Sad Sea Waves" and
"His Wedding Night," all screamers
each one a film that will entice
money into the coffers of a moving
picture show.
Managers throughout the country
find a real scarcity of really funny
filma. pvnn thnnch HplnroH with apri-
ous efforts, and these managera
would do well to immediately get in
touch with "Van" and his screaming
"f7hrii.4o flompHipa "
lar, but intensely clever and human
is every action in "The Foundling."
Monday, Dustin Farnum apnears hi
"David Garrick;" Tuesday. The Re
vole:" Wednesday. ' The Tongues of
Men;" Friday a five-reel Vitagraph,
and Saturday 'The Social Buccaneer."
