Établissements Jacques Haik
Bearer beneficiary share, Établissements Jacques Haïk, Paris 1933. French cinema. Antique art-and-entertainment certificate.
Jacques Haïk (1883-1950) was a major figure in French cinema of the interwar period: a theatre operator and distributor (he imported Charlie Chaplin's films into France), he founded the famous Grand Rex and the Olympia. Les Établissements Jacques Haïk, a public limited company with a capital of 7,000,000 francs divided into 70,000 shares of 100 francs each (including 45,000 O shares and 25,000 P shares), had its head office at 63 avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris. Articles of association filed with Maître Decloux, notary in Paris.
This Bearer Beneficiary Share, numbered 001 483, features the characteristic brown-red hexagonal-motif design forming a dense and refined border. Red "Établissements Jacques Haïk Paris" stamp at the top left, fiscal stamping mark of 8 November 1933 and stamp duty. Two original directors' signatures. A very fine scripophily document linked to French cinema and live entertainment — a theme highly sought after by film-enthusiast collectors.
