[The Moving Picture World, 23 November 1912, page 761] Charles Kessel [sic. — either Adam Kessel and/or Charles O. Baumann], the man who helped put the kay in “Kaybee” brand of films, is now in our midst, not as a visitor, but as one of us. He has stratched [sic. — scratched] out the words “of New York,” which used to follow his name, and hereafter the identifying tag will be “of Los Angeles,” for he has come to stay. Even now the real estate agents are hot on his trail and there are prospects that the next letter under this dateline may tell how he has emulated Mr. Lubin and bought a house. / Kessel came here to take charge of all the Kessel-Baumann properties, which include the plants formerly of the Bison and New York Motion Picture Company at Edendale and Santa Monica, and the properties of the Keystone, Broncho and Kaybee (formerly Bison-101) motion picture companies. / His first concern will be to launch the second weekly release ol the Keystone company. This will mean hiring new actors and providing new accommodations. It is too early to fix the date for the new release, but the expectation is that it will be out in about six weeks from this publication. / Meanwhile “Doc” Willat, who came with Kessel, is superintending vast alterations in the plant. The indications are that the present plant, which is no mean one, will be torn down and rebuilt. Already plans have been drawn for a new factory and Willat brought a complete outfit of new cameras, part of which went to the Edendale studio and the rest to the studio in Santa Monica canyon. A new stage is being built at Edendale this week for the use of the second Keystone company and a great deal of new scenery is being painted. All this represents a considerable financial layout, but the new organization seems to be sparing no expense.
