Of interest is that the films appear to be fairly expensive and out of reach for many consumers, a .00 film is 1928 would be closer to 5.00 in today's value.
Pathé is the name of various French businesses that were founded and originally run by the Pathé Brothers of France starting in 1896.  In the early 1900's, Pathé became the world's largest film equipment and production company, as well as a major producer of phonograph records.  In 1908, Pathé invented the newsreel that was shown in cinemas prior to a feature film.
In 1921, Pathé sold off its United States motion picture production arm, which was renamed "Pathé Exchange" and later merged into RKO Pictures, disappearing as an independent brand in 1931.
