  • Equity Motion Picture Company’s Star

    The motion picture theaters throughout the country, who will undoubtedly play Billy Van’s releases, should be greatly benefited by the publicity tendered to him as a comedian and mirth provoking dispeller of gloom. The Equity Motion Picture Company not only intends presenting Billy B. Van in one and two-reel comedies, but their object is to produce four and five-reel features of the very highest standard. Owing to the location, their studio, which is situated at Van Harbor, Sunapee Lake, N. H., right in the midst of the White Mountains, surrounding magnificent and rural scenery in this vicinity, offers such opportunities for exterior effects, and warrants the praise that Mr. Van and his associates have for their coming releases. Associated with Billy B. Van in this new enterprise is that energetic and hustling distributor and promoter of feature films, Mr. Bob Russell, who has made a name for himself in placing with the exhibitors from coast to coast some of the largest and best feature films that have been on the market for a number of years.
