HISTORY: An important element in Cleveland’s success as a movie studio hub was the CLEVELAND FILM EXCHANGE BUILDING (also known as Cleveland Film Service and The Academy Film Service) located on the southeast corner of Payne Ave. and East 21st St. Studios and distributors in the specially constructed building performed a film pickup and delivery service, rewound and inspected returned movies, and stored films between showings. In an age when movie theaters would change their offerings several times a week, the films had to be ready to ship. Trucks would move in and out of the Film Exchange Building at all hours of the day and night to serve the more than 700 theaters of northern Ohio. At its peak, fourteen national studios had offices in the building. Cleveland was also home to over a dozen sponsored film studios, including CINECRAFT PRODUCTIONS (established in 1939), ESCAR (1942), GENERAL PICTURES CORP. (1957), and TRI-STATE MOTION PICTURES (1926). Other film studios, with their main offices in other cities, also had sales offices in Cleveland. These included Wilding Studios out of Chicago, the Jam Handy Organization out of Detroit, Roland Reed Productions, Jerry Fairbanks, Inc., and Riviera Productions out of Los Angeles. My items all come from Elmer Kadar - who partially owned the film exchange (Kadar was also very wealthy as he was family to the ruler of Hungary - Janos Kadar). I am the sole owner of the vast majority of the Cleveland film exchanges receipts, records, etc (what is left of it anyways) that Kadar meticulously stored and documented. He was a serial collector in many facets. Which is where many of my items come from for those who would like to know! SHIPPING: Fast & free via USPS (for USA). Will ship same day if payment is received by 3pm EST! Free returns! Shipped with care (cardboard backers, bubble wrap, peanuts & or double boxed whenever necessary).
