Advance Prospectus, four pages, 4to, bifolium, fold marks, small closed tears along folds, sunned, minor staining, good condition. A detailed view of the state and potential of the Motiuon Picyure Industry is give (commercial, entertaining, educational, growth, attraction of stage stars, etc.) but apparently the invention of a fraudster. When George Munroe was arrested some months ago and convicted in connection with one of his many stock promoting concerns, it was thought that this incident would end his activities as a pseudo promoter on Wall street, but evidently his coming-back ability has the life of not one but nine cats since we have discovered this subtle financier busy promoting the sale of stock in The North American Films Corporation. (Financial World, vol.21, 1913) The handful of snippets on Googebooks attests to its transience.
