payment, on account of future earnings, oi' $100,000 or $125,000. This money is pilill to the. producing company as soon as the picture is inailg and leased to First Na- tiolial. The money may be used by the 100111 producing company to recoup themselves for their investment, or may be used to iiia ke :I second picture, and so on ad finitum. Sinai-elioldei-s decide this themselves. This means thatf the shareholders in this com-~ puny would have their investment itself buck in their pockets within ninety days ot' iiivesting it, if they wished. So it is lit- erally ai case of LOA NING so much money for ninety days, and then getting it back. l~`i-om that on the profits on the investment would come iii, until the picture would cease exhibition. 'These profits come in every month from the distributing com- pany. The local producing company keeps striettab on the distributing company’s books, having access to them through aud- itors. . -
