“The Société Générale des Cinématographes Éclipse, a public limited company with a capital of 600.000 francs, was founded by George Henri Rogers and Paul Joseph Roux in August 1906. Éclipse, which took over the Charles Urban Trading Company‘s Paris franchise in November that same year, owned a shop in the passage d’Opéra and a small studio in Courbevoie. In July 1908 a new increase in capital (1.500.000 francs) made it possible for the company to launch Charles Urban and Albert Smith’s kinemacolor films and to purchase a majority of shares in the Radios company, which had been created in 1907. By 1913, Éclipse was the fourth largest French film manufacturer, releasing 150 films per year, among the Arizona Bill series, directed by Gaston Roudès and starring Joë Hamman. Ten years later, after suffering financially during World War I, the company was purchased by Omnium EEG.”
