Independents to Form Co op Against Movie Trust
In Minneapolis on June 28 the executive committee of the non picture theatre owners association of America approved plans to unite fifteen independent distributors into a cooperative to fight the movie trust and raise 2 million dollars for a nationwide advertising campaign. Delegates at the convention were to consider the plan today. Disputes over producer encroachment into exhibition were cited as a motive. The fund would be raised as a percentage from each theatre owner and independent producer. Officials charged the movie trust with controlling about half of the country’s motion picture business.
