| Union Mortgage Loan Company | Title: Union Mortgage Loan Company Records,1898-1942, 1949 Quantity: 45.0 c.f. (90 archives boxes and 16 flat boxes) Call Number: Eau Claire Mss AR Abstract: Records of the Union Mortgage Loan Company, a financial institution located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, that did nearly all of its business in northern Wisconsin, North Dakota, and eastern Montana. The company made loans to farmers in return for first mortgages on the farm property and subsequently sold these mortgages to individual investors. It also bought and sold farm lands, acted as trustee for bond issues of local government units and private companies, and occasionally made loans on city property in Eau Claire. Hence the records document agricultural credit, farming conditions, and capital formation in the regions where the company did business. The collection also includes substantial personal data on the individuals to whom it lent money and on the physical characteristics of the property it accepted as security. The records as a whole provide a detailed picture of the affairs of a financial institution of moderate size. They trace the company from its formation in 1905 through a period of expansion in the properous 1910's and 1920's, and are particularly strong in documenting the business's failure in the Depression, its reorganization, and the first years of the tedious liquidation process. |

(4 archives boxes) Call Number: U.S. Mss 99AN/3G Abstract: Sundown was produced in 1941 by Walter Wanger Productions, Inc.

Because of these circumstances, this series contains the only production materials to be found in the United Artists Collection. There are extensive records relating to the on-location shooting of the picture at Acoma, New Mexico; Bronson Canyon, California and Crater Lake, Oregon, which give a clear picture of the problems and procedures involved in filming at remote locations. The actual shooting of the film is represented by scene-by-scene notes with scene numbers; short resumes of the action; wardrobe changes; essential props; cast and bit players; production notes; shooting schedules; and call sheets.

The entries for the stockholder-producers (Chaplin, Fairbanks, Pickford, Selznick, Swanson) of the United Artists Corporation are particularly important in that they detail not only financial and contract information for individual films, but also the stockholders' interrelationships and negotiations with regard to the activities and fortunes of the corporation.

(48 archives boxes) Call Number: U.S. Mss 99 AN/6A Abstract: Correspondence and court records from anti-trust litigation to which United Artists was a party. Most of the cases involve suits by small privately-owned theatres against the major motion picture firms. Among the most frequent primary defendants are Balaban & Katz, Columbia Pictures, Loew's, Paramount Pictures, RKO, Twentieth Century-Fox, and Warner Bros. Pictures. In many of the cases, the plaintiffs charged a conspiracy in restraint of trade to deny them first-run films. In others, price-fixing or other unlawful practices figured in the litigation. The correspondence often includes information on settlement negotiations, litigation strategies, billings, and other matters. At the end of the file in Box 48 are processor's work sheets containing a summary of all documented cases. |
| United Artists Corporation | Title: United Artists Corporation Records: Series 6B: Arthur W. Kelly Files, 1946-1951 Quantity: 5.0 c.f. (13 archives boxes) Call Number: U.S. Mss 99AN/6B Abstract: Files of the vice president in charge of foreign distribution documenting all aspects of foreign distribution of films. The immediate post-World War II period brought a boom in foreign distribution. But as foreign countries saw a flight of currency via film revenues, they soon instituted taxes, quotas, and currency export freezes that were designed to retain capital and to build up their indigenous film production industries. This situation was important to UA since the bulk of their actual profits came from abroad, particularly Great Britain. In this series, extensive correspondence with UA executives, producers, and producers' representatives discuss offers of films for distribution; contract interpretations and disputes; and the booking, dating, terms, playing, and collection of money for various films. There are also reports and statistics which relate to picture earnings, distribution problems, circuit deals, dubbing, travel, and other aspects of foreign distribution. Especially important is information relating to the J. Arthur Rank Organization and the Odeon Theatre interests which largely controlled access to theaters in Great Britain. Files on Germany provide insight into the Allied Occupation and later developments. Other notable materials include Motion Picture Association and Motion Picture Export Association minutes, reports, and correspondence; accounting and distribution figures; and information on currency restrictions. |

(4 archives boxes) Call Number: U.S. Mss 99AN/9D Abstract: The “road show” is a method of distribution whereby a distributor rents or leases theaters in selected locations around the country and performs all of the mechanics of exhibition, from advertising to projection. This method, usually reserved for “prestige” motion pictures, involves sending “advance men” to promote the picture and attempt to secure the maximum possible attendance; these agents then move on to the next cities and the distributor takes over the operation of the theater for the duration of the run. As a result of the road show procedure, Henry V was shown at hundreds of cities and towns throughout North America and became United Artists19 biggest money-maker. The file contains three types of material. “Miscellaneous Correspondence” includes press releases, job applications, and correspondence with agents and with the general public. “Correspondence Filed by State” consists mainly of correspondence among the agents, the branch offices, and the home office, concerning such topics as the activities of the agents, advertising budgets, scheduling of performances, educational institutions (a large part of the revenue), agents19 pay, etc. “Financial Records by City” contains daily box office reports, expense reports, invoices for items paid by United Artists, and final accountings of the results of each engagement. |

| United Artists Corporation | Title: United Artists Corporation Records: Series 15G: ZIV-United Artists, Inc. Legal Files, 1951-1963 Quantity: 2.8 c.f.

| United Artists Corporation | Title: United Artists Corporation Records: Series 1.7: Warner Brothers Contract and Legal Files, dates unknown Quantity: 31.8 c.f. (80 archives boxes) Call Number: U.S. Mss 99 AN/1.7 Abstract: This file contains papers from the Warner Bros. story purchase department and trust department, and consists primarily of story purchase agreements, correspondence, and contracts. The agreements contain information on the purchase price of each literary property and the ownership of the literary rights to it. The correspondence usually deals with mundane matters such as methods of payment, but since litigation (or the threat of litigation) often arose, there is some very interesting documentation on these matters. The contracts are of two types: 1) contracts for literary rights, and 2) long term contracts between Warner Brothers and its stars, directors and technicians, and contracts for `loan-outs' between studios. Consequently, it is possible, for example, to trace the pay increases for stars, director and others over a period of time. |

The contracts generally are recorded by exchange and thus enable easy comparison of films in different sections of the country. Originally, the volumes were created in three segments: 1919-October 1927, October 1927-April 1931, and 1937-1941. Volumes for May 1931-1937 and May 1941-1950 were lacking when the collection was received by the Historical Society. Volumes from 1919-1931 are handwritten originals, while those from 1937-1941 are corrected, typewritten and mimeographed copies of the handwritten originals. Many of the latter were created and filmed in reverse chronological order. The early original registers also contain brief notations with reference to theaters closing or changing hands, mention of cancelled showings or reduced rates, and occasional recordings of censored films. Occasionally contracts with higher numbers were arranged in a sequence preceding contracts with lower numbers. The production number listed in the Reel List was assigned by the production company. |

| United Artists Corporation | Title: United Artists Corporation Records: Series 7C: Contract Control Cut-Off Ledgers and Registers, 1933-1951 Quantity: 43 reels of microfilm (35mm) Call Number: Micro 1046; Micro 2030; U.S. Mss 99AN/7C Abstract: These records detail film showings by exchange and by circuit. Summarized in the records are film titles, date played, guaranteed percentage or flat rate, number of days played, gross income, and earnings after expenses. Contract entries were made before a film was shown, while playing dates were added after the showing to indicate that films were “cut off.” In 1948 the ledger form of record keeping was apparently replaced by control cut-off forms. Holdings for this later period appear complete, while the earlier ledgers are somewhat miscellaneous in coverage, including data from theaters in Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and West Virginia only. At the end of the registers are three separate files of cut-offs for Guilty of Treason, Red Shoes, and Sundowners. For the early ledgers the information also includes town populations, the exhibitor's name, production contract date, contract prices, production name, and other information for both feature films and short subjects. |

This weekly summary was taken directly or indirectly from the daily contract registers. It appears that over the years different methods of transferring the total figures were used. The weekly summaries of each picture were totaled at the end of each month. These totals were then divided according to producer/corporation share, and the cumulative totals were transferred to the General Ledgers (Series 3C). Volumes for 1934, 1937, 1940, and 1947 were not received by the Historical Society with the rest of the series. |

These offices, modeled on the corporation's system of domestic exchanges, did business within a designated geographical area. Thus, the Argentina office conducted business in Uruguay and Paraguay as well as in Argentina; the Puerto Rico office also did business in Aruba and Curacao, and so forth Detailed information as to the geographical scope of each office may be found in the description for the Foreign Accounts Section. The individual accounts encompass the entire range of activities of UA's foreign business, from capital stock to petty cash and from profit on currency exchange to producers' shares of played-and-earned income. Whenever funds were transferred from one account to another, an entry appeared in the ledgers. (Corresponding entries were made on a daily basis in foreign journals; unfortunately, these have not survived.) A list of the accounts recorded in a typical volume follows. Note that in most cases figures in the foreign ledgers are in local currencies, not U.S. dollars.

Foreign distribution was done in two basic ways: by UA or a subsidiary selling rights directly to exhibitors on an individual basis, or by the sale of licenses to other distribution organizations at a flat rate, with subsequent distribution performed by the licensee. Because UA's independent producers had input into the sale price and terms of the distribution agreements, full information on the foreign distribution negotiations were referred either to the home office in New York or to the major UA subsidiary in London for final approval; thus, the series contains extensive details on individual foreign distribution transactions. Also included are some non-distribution materials relating to foreign countries. For example, files on Bulgaria, 1931-1941, contain affidavits concerning UA's ownership of films in that country; files on French North Africa, 1945, concern salary adjustments; and files on Italy, 1950-1951, relate to the formation of a new UA foreign subsidiary. |
