A Seattle motion picture initiative proposes a cooperative society to produce Northwest scenic and industrial films. Led by Ralph R. Westfall, the plan aims for 5,000 memberships at 12 dollars each, totaling 60,000, to incorporate and fund five reel photoplays and a local studio, with profits shared pro rata. The notice urges public support and cautions against paying money to solicitors.
