The American Amusement and Film Company is in a state of great perturbation, and have lost upwards of $8000 worth of cinematograph material. Mr. J. R. Armstrong and David Benjamin had come to Shanghai and started the concern. When Armstrong went to the office on the 4th, he found that every vestige of stock vanished, and some claimed that it has been moved to the auction rooms of Messrs. L. Moore and Co. for sale. This matter will be decided by the British Court. – China Press
