Description
Letter from E. L. Cole, executive secretary of the Atlanta Film Board of Trade, to the gentlemen of the Douglass Theatre, dated July 8, 1927, responding to the Douglass Theatre's claim that another theater is showing the serial, Fire Fighters. Cole conveys that Universal Pictures Corporation claims that the film is only being shown in the Douglass Theatre in Macon, Georgia at the present time. Cole requests the name of the theater that is supposedly showing Fire Fighters concurrently with the Douglass Theatre. The ten-episode silent serial was released in January of 1927 and starred Jack Daugherty, Helen Ferguson, Wilbur McGaugh, and Lafe McKee. It is presumed lost. See also dbr082 and dbr083 of the Douglass Theatre Web site for Luke Stein's discussion of their claim.Digital image and encoded transcription of an original manuscript, scanned, transcribed and encoded by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2005, as part of Georgia HomePLACE.
