b"Montreal BranchThe Montreal branch was also set up as an independent distributor but with a lot of differences. The Montreal branch had a heavy concentration of French theaters, so a different system had to be used. National Screen sent up two different varieties of material. One was the regular material that was issued everywhere else but the other was usually sent without credit information or very limited credit information. It was the job of the Montreal Branch to supply all the credit and distribution material in French. Quite often you will find a variety of types from credits being painted on, stickered on, sniped over etc. It depended on how much was needed to make the material ready for distribution. It appears that the Montreal branch closed with the 1990 dissolution of relationships with National Screen. St. John, New Brunswick BranchKnown as the Maritime Poster Exchange, this exchange was run by Buckley and handled just like the Calgary branch. This branch had no printing facilities and distributed the material from National Screen with local censor board requirements. In 1990, when the separation from National Screen came about, Victoria Films took over. Everything basically remained the same as operations before. In 2000, when Technicolor took over the remaining portions of National Screen, Maritime also merged with Technicolor. UNITED KINGDOMNational Screen Service in the United Kingdom was originally a British office of the American National Screen Service. The NSS office in the UK opened around 1930 to supply trailers. Cecil Hepworth was one of the early managers in the 1930s.We have not been able to find ANY pressbooks in the early 1940s where NSS supplied posters. We did find records that Paul Kimberley (who had opened the Thanhouser Film Ltd pre World War 1, formed Imperial Films, and had been the governor of the British Film Institute from 1940 until 1943) took over as managing director of NSS from 1943 to 1945. The FIRST studio that NSS signed to handle their posters and accessories in the US was Paramount in 1939. We checked pressbooks for films released in the UK from Paramount DURING the war and found NO sign of NSS involvement. We can only assume that NSS didn't start their expansion in the UK until just AFTER the war.With the new distribution systems set up in America to handle trailers, posters and supplies, a branch office of the complete operation was set up as National Screen Service Limited. Pressbooks after the war give their location as Nascreno House, Soho Square, W.1"
