Scope and content
The most important marketing function of a film is getting it out before the public. On December 15, 1925, H. T. Moore (with pen), general manger of the Moore Amusement Company, and Paul R. Aust, seated left, representing the Associated Exhibitors, signed a contract sealing the world premier of the H.C. Weaver Production "Hearts & Fists," the first Tacoma made full length motion picture. Observing for film producer Weaver who was out of town were, left to right standing, J.H. Green, of the News Tribune; W.R. Rust, Tacoma capitalist and vice president of Weaver Productions; Peter Shamray, production manager Weaver; and George Greenlund, manager of the Rialto Theater. The photograph was believed to have been taken in Mr. Moore's office in the Rialto. The world premier would take place January 2, 1926 at the Rialto Theater. (TNT 12/16/1925, pg. 8) Boland B13848
