What is 'AJC' stands for ?

Post by Silencebound » Mon Jan 06, 2014 4:03 am

I scanned this pix from 100ft nitrate film fragment ( which I'll upload the 70-secs clip here very soon ) with the intertitle from the Romantic Drama movie, shot around 1915 - 1918 - probably in the States, along with it's trademark film company logo marked at bottom of the screen. It's 'AJC'. What is that standed for ? :?

It could also be read as ACJ - in monograms of personal names the last name initial is often in the center.

Did perhaps Alfred Cheney Johnston have his own studio?

The words in the title card lead me to believe
that AJC stands for American Jewish Committee.

Yep, the logo marked 'AJC' is the film producer Andrew J. Callagan. Thank you, syd ! :D
