GETS A BIG BOOST IN MOVIE BUSINESS

Theodore George Quits Setig ComJ pany to Begifi Work For Bwimj —Has Entire Slate Theodore George, who for a number of months has been working for the F. O. Nielesen and Sefig companies, booking moving picture features and making contract-, and who has met with excellent success, will withi irthe next two weeks sever his connection with that company in order eo accept a somewhat better position with the Essanay Company. He will have the entire state at a substantial increase in salary and his headquarters will be in Indianapolis, where he will be under the direction of the General Film Co. Mr. George had arranged for the change several weks ago and his employment by the Essanay Co. is really due to a business dealing he had with the Company more than two years ago, when he was the manager of the Princess theatre. He arranged for the “home movies,” having an Essanay operator come here and take the pictures and it proved so successful that the attention of the company was attracted to his hustling qualities and when they needed a good man they offered him a job. In the meantime he nad received an extended experience and made wide acquaintance in the business as a traveling representative for the Nielesen and Selig companies. His many friends here will be pleased to learn of his advancement and will expect that he will make good in his new job.
