HENRY BREDHOFF, Motion Picture Distributor. A pioneer in the motion picture 
field in Honolulu, Henry Bredhoff, senior partner in the Hawaii Film Supply 
Co., and the American Theatre Co., and a dealer in equipment for theaters, 
came to Hawaii in 1912 as a representative of the Variety Film Exchange, which 
was reorganized into the present partnership in 1915. Before entering business 
for himself in Honolulu, Mr. Bredhoff spent a short time in Japan, where he 
went in 1913 to open a film exchange.
  Born near Bremen, Germany, Sept. 26, 1864, Mr. Bredhoff is the son of 
Charles and Margaret (Martens) Bredhoff, residents of California since the 
early 50’s, who were visiting in Europe when their son was born. He spent the 
greater part of his early life in Oakland, attending the grammar schools and 
graduating from the high school of that city. He was director and treasurer of 
the Pacific Syndicate Co., an extensive 5-10-15 and 25-cent business, in 1906, 
when San Francisco was destroyed by fire, and continued with that organization 
until 1910 when it was taken over by the Woolworth Co.
  Mr. Bredhoff and Henrietta Hahn were married Oct. 16, 1888. They have two 
children, Carl Henry Bredhoff and Grace Bredhoff Paty. Mr. Bredhoff is 
secretary-treasurer of the Honolulu Ad Club, a Rotarian, a member of the 
Commercial Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the National Aeronautic Assn., 
U.S.A., the Pan-Pacific Club and the Y.M.C.A.
