THAT’S THE ANSWER From the time this company entered the film field it has repeat¬ edly assured exhibitors that it intended to take care of their interests. We depended to a great extent upon the exchanges treating exhibitors as they should be treated. We believed that when an exhibitor asked for INTERNATIONAL goods, he would receive them, but we have hundreds of letters in our possession from exhibitors disgruntled by the fact that a majority of exchanges are foisting faked, shoddy and duped goods upon them, under the INTERNATIONAL label. This is not true in all cases, but we know that it is true in a majority of in¬ stances. Hence, we are forced to establish our own exchanges in order to give exhibitors what they want, that is, strictly INTERNATIONAL film. These exchanges will handle INTERNATIONAL films, American and European makes, exclusively, and they will be opened as rapidly as men and locations can be obtained.

  • The Panhandles: Last of the Sandlotters
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 1, No. 8 (1979) THE PANHANDLES: LAST OF THE SANDLOTTERS By Bob Braunwart & Bob Carroll On a bright November afternoon in 1909, a curious parade took place in Dayton, Ohio. Hundreds of people lined the streets to watch five brothers -- members of a Columbus, Ohio, football team -- walk from their hotel to the ballpark. The team had donned its football togs at the hotel, but there was nothing about the brothers' maroon and gold jerseys to distinguish them from their teammates. Football jerseys had no numbers in those days. The brothers were bigger than their mates, but that wasn't why the crowd had no trouble recognizing them. Nor was it the family resemblance -- the same blocky solidity that looked like they'd been carved by Rodin. And it wasn't just the walk, that aggressive planting of one large foot after another, that confident swing in the elbows, that who-the- hell's-gonna-stop-me swagger. It was the combination. Everything went together to say: "We're the Nessers. We play football." Later that day they did just that, disposing of the home team, the Dayton Oakwoods, 16-0, before the biggest crowd Dayton had ever seen. Brother Fred scored a touchdown. So did brother Frank. Brother Phil steamed from his tackle position with the momentum of one of Teddy Roosevelt's Great White Fleet battleships and sailed 40 yards to another TD. Brother John blocked and tackled as though he was on a personal vendetta. Brother Ted -- neither the biggest nor the fastest but obviously the leader -- played with the inspiration his station required.

  • Urban Revitalization, Urban Regimes, and Contemporary Gentrification Processes
    Urban Revitalization, Urban Regimes, and Contemporary Gentrification Processes Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Michael David Webb, M.A., M.C.R.P., Graduate Program in Geography The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Lawrence A. Brown, Advisor Kevin R. Cox Jennifer Evans-Cowley Edward J. Malecki Copyright by Michael David Webb 2013 Abstract The urban scene has undergone significant changes in the past twenty years, as gentrification and similar patterns of upward neighborhood change, once rare and unique, have become increasingly prevalent. Meanwhile, there exists an increasing recognition within academia that the processes underlying upward neighborhood change have been in transition over the past decades (Lees, 2000). This dissertation investigates the formal and informal arrangements undergirding contemporary processes of upward neighborhood change, which I term urban revitalization. It argues that revitalization occurs at the nexus of coalition (or regime)-style governance and ‘classic’ gentrification where change is driven by neighborhood regimes, largely informal coalitions that bring together representatives from the public, private, and civic sectors. Revitalization does not occur within a vacuum, however, and the dissertation situates contemporary neighborhood change dynamics within a conceptual framework that moves from broad economic-social-political organization to on-the-ground realities, where higher, more abstract tiers set limits and possibilities on subjacent levels. The research grounds itself in three Columbus, Ohio, neighborhoods, two of which have witnessed the emergence of neighborhood regimes: Weinland Park, King-Lincoln, and Olde Towne East. Methods include exploratory quantitative data and GIS analyses, archival research, and key informant interviews.
