& GERMAN MERGER ASSURES

      OUTLETS FOR 1ST NATIONAL

      Berlin (By Cable) – The combination of Emelka and

Phoebus under the financial control of J. Von Lustig

and Richard Weininger, partners with First National in Germany,

will result in the formation  of one of the most formidable

chains in Germany. About fifty first runs in principal German

cities are thus brought together under one control.

      The amalgamated chains will muster many thousands

of theater seats. The most prominent theater in the

group is the Capitol in Berlin. Here many American pictures

have their German premieres. In two or three weeks,

„The Circus“ opens there. First National is, of course, assured

a first run outlet in all German key cities as a result

of the deal.

(...) Österreichische Film-Zeitung, Jan. 14, 1928

& Die Berliner Premiere von Chaplins „Zirkus“, welche diese

Woche im Kapitol hätte stattfinden sollen, mußte

„Alraune“ beim Publikum außerordentlichen Anklang

findet und täglich vor ausverkauften Häusern gespielt wird.
