Its membership more firmly united than ever by the ties of mutual interest Its financial and business standing an established factor in the industry Its future one of optimism, based upon accom- plishment Its business policy tempered and guided by experi- ence, an experience of five hard years of endeavor in the hitherto untried field of exhibitor cooperation, an experience which has brought its disappoint- ments but an experience which, because of sound principles and unrelenting effort, has ever discarded the impractical and clung to and progressed in the direction of better business ethics and greater accom- plishment. To those who once doubted the practicability of such an organization we need but say — consider what we have accomplished. To those who criticise our mistakes we reply — they shall not be repeated. To those who believe in our future, to those who would become fellow Franchise Holders in our organization, we pledge a continuance of the effort to render a service that cannot be duplicated. During the past year or two of readjustment, we have been sorely tried by the same economic factors WFJW.UA'.WAWA? THEATRES IN THE WIDE WORLD Features and Comedies offered to you which have ruined many businesses—but these years of adversity have taught us how to improve our procedure for the future. Our most difficult problem, like that of every dis- tributor, has been to get fine pictures at a price which would return a reasonable box office profit. We believe our latest production affiliations are a development which will greatly improve our product and at the same time so reduce manufacturing costs as to bring our pictures within the reach of theatres which in the past have had to get along with re- leases of less box office power. And we must never forget for a moment that the safety and future of our business lies in providing better, more entertaining and more artistic productions. Our Franchise Plan, as we had anticipated, has proven a welcome and workable relationship to the great majority of exhibitors who have tried it. Those exhibitors who because of individual and local con- ditions have found the Franchise unworkable have been relieved. First National has never forced any exhibitor to make good his contractural obligations under the Fran- chise although having a perfect legal right to do so. The organization, in all its relations has ever been guided by the power of right rather than the force of law. The First National Franchise is, and will continue to be, the greatest asset an exhibitor can have provided his busi- ness circumstances are such as to permit him to enjoy its protection and privileges. The vast majority of Franchise Holders show no eagerness to give up their Franchises. Upon our organization's record for fair dealing, we base the hope and belief that there'll be a Franchise everywhere. ^ ^ , r^^l^^'^> -^^'L ^.VAVm^l Page Five will have a cast of famous actors.

  • The Changing Valuation of Dogs1
    Sociological Forum, 2020 DOI: 10.1111/socf.12643 © 2020 Eastern Sociological Society The Changing Valuation of Dogs1 Dustin S. Stoltz,2 Justin Van Ness,3 and Mette Evelyn Bjerre4 In recent decades, the United States has witnessed profound changes in the sociocultural valuation of dogs, variously described as humanization, sentimentalization, or sacralization. A broad look at this “sacraliza- tion” of dogs in the United States reveals that this changing valuation has altered dogs’ place within economic processes. In particular, these changes parallel Viviana Zelizer’s work on the changing valuation of children a century ago. In this article, we further specify Zelizer’s insights by arguing that these accompanying economic transformations are best understood as shifting of a dogs’ place within budgetary units: from objects for human consumption to fellow actors humans consume with and around. KEYWORDS: animals; budgetary units; relational work; consumption; economic sociology; human– nonhuman interaction. INTRODUCTION “Dogs Are People Too” reads the title of The New York Times opinion piece by neuroscientist Gregory Berns, author of “How Dogs Love Us,” and more recently, “What It’s Like to Be a Dog.” Based on fMRI data demonstrating functional homology between humans’ and dogs’ brains, Bern states, if we “granted dogs rights of personhood...Puppy mills, laboratory dogs and dog racing would be banned for violating the basic right of self-determination of a person.” Is this new neuroscien- tific evidence sufficient to foment such legal and institutional changes? Bern answers, “I suspect that society is many years away from considering dogs as persons.” Since as early as the 1980s, several scholars noted a trend in our relationship to pets in general, and dogs in particular (e.g., Pallotta 2019; Sanders 2010).

Movie Memorabilia (part 2) Series 1 – Correspondence Twenty-six pieces of correspondence are arranged alphabetically by author then sub-arranged in chronological order. The majority of the correspondence is from Jack and Charmian London to Mr. Wiget, the caretaker of their ranch in Glen Ellen, or to Ed and Ida Winship. The correspondence also includes one love letter from Jack to Charmian. Series 2 – First Appearances: Writings published in magazines Magazines often provided the first appearances of Jack London’s short stories and novels in serialized form. For example, The Call of the Wild first appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in June of 1903. It was then published later that same year by the Macmillan Company. Studying first appearances in magazines gives the researcher the opportunity to analyse textual changes that occurred over time and provides an opportunity to view the original illustrations. In several instances, Jack London specifically chose the illustrator for his stories. The collection contains two hundred and thirty-seven of Jack London’s magazine publications, both fiction and non-fiction, including many first appearances.

  • Rin Tin Tin and the Hero Dogs
    Amos St. Germain Wentworth Institute of Technology NEPCA Fall 2012 WOOF: Rin Tin Tin and the Hero Dogs My interest in Rin Tin Tin was caused by Susan Orlean’s book of course I knew who RTT was. Unlike my students I know who Hopalong Cassidy was and I know who Roy Rogers was. I owned a full coonskin chat (Davy Crockett) And I remember Sergeant Preston of the Yukon and his wonder dog, King. With an asthmatic father I grew up dog less but like Susan I had a plastic German Shepherd statuette, only mine was Roy Rogers” Bullet nit RTT. This paper is a logical continuation of my previous work on Albert Payson Terhune and the collies of Sunnybank. Orlean Came to RTT as a journalist, a reporter, and an observer of a phenomenon. What you come away with is her vision of participants in a vision, a product and in fact, an industry. As Lee Duncan, RTT’s owner, trainer, companion and father observed. “There will always be a RTT.” There are three phases to the RTT story: the Lee Duncan RTT I and following phase, which is the motion picture phase, the Bert Leonard phase, which was the television phase, envisioned by Leonard in 1953 and birthed as “The Adventures Of RTT” in 1956. (It rose through the TV ratings faster than any show in television history.) and the Daphne Hereford phase which began around 2000 and continues to the present day. There will always be a RTT. The story of RTT begins with Lee Duncan who grew up fatherless with orphanage stints in California.
