Show THE CITIZEN 8 Will Salt Lake City Become Movie Center? I NEW FILM CORPORATION LOCATES HERE BECAUSE OF UNLIMITED RESOURCES AND IDEAL PICTURE FEATURES An Intermountain Hollywood Geo. E. Lewis, Producer FORTUNATE, indeed, is the man when 'opportunity knocks at his door and he is wise and shrewd enough to take advantage of that opportunity. People of Utah have had many opportunities, but in the main, few there are who awaken and tread the path of riches. The average man looks upon every business venture shyly and believes someone is trying to pry him loose from his hard earned coin. But there is the man here and there who investigates, gets in on the ground floor, becomes chance and takes the wealthy. Another business opportunity presents itself in this city which no doubt will make big money for tl.e Millions have been stockholders. made in movie pictures and there are many millions, yet to be made. The market is short of good productions and the demand far outstrips the supply of the market. the Pioneer Film CorporUtah was organized and the Recently ation of company now has in property value and picture rights about $550,000. The initial investment came from Chicago business men who are confident that such a company will make good in this locality. The company needs about $200,000 more to perfect its organization and local investors will be given the first opportunity to get some of this stock. If local business men do not take advantage of this opportunity, the money will come from Chicago and again outside stockholders will reap the benefits. The Pioneer Film Corporation of Utah has just completed the filming of The Exodus, a sensational picture of the Utah pioneer, under the leadership of Brigham Young, in their trek across the plains, mountain passes and fording streams to the Salt Lake valley. The lowest profit estimate placed upon this picture is and there is no good reason why the profits should not go as high as three or four million, which other high class pictures have brought the promoters. The picture will be released, with probably its initial appearance in this city. The first price of admission will range between $5 and $10 per ticket or person.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH $1,-000,0- 00 picture is first shown here, where it naturally should be, all the stars of Hollywood will come to this city in airplanes to see the picture. , George E. Lewis, the producer, says that no picture has been produced in the history that is greater than this picture and he is confident of its financial success. He came here to make this picture and while here was so deeply impressed with the natural picture making surroundings that he decided that this was the right place to establish an intermountain Hollywood. Utah has the most wonderful scenic formations of the nation. We have forty more filming days than they have in Southern California, which is a big asset in picture making. There are four ideal seasons of the year here and the winters are beautiful. We have winter snow scenes here not surpassed in any part of the world. We are only twenty-fou- r hours from Hollywood and when we want famous stars for a picture the talent is at hand. Fort Douglas and the soldiers are here for military effect. We have the scenic mountains, the streams, the rolling hills, the desert, the prairies with their 'sagebrush, together with nine national forests with their magnificent .grandeur which attract thousands of 'people to this state annually. We have the fish, birds, wild animals and great agricultural districts, together 'with the mines, sheep and cattle and Manufacturing; the Great Salt Lake at our doorstep, which to the camera eye is as good as the 77,000,000 square miles of the Pacific ocean and more readily handled than the ocean where there is contention with the tide and .storm. We have the homes, church-e- s, schools, and Utah, the coming airplane center, together with the railroads and the wonderful legendary and historical possibilities of the Wa- satch. We have more undeveloped resources than any other state in the 'west, and with wonderful opportuni- ties for everyone. It is therefore no wonder that Mr. Lewis has been so favorably iminterpressed with this city as a real mountain Hollywood center.
