PAST  and  FUTURE 

  By  JACK  ALICOATE.  Publisher  of  THE  FILM  DAILY   


LOOKING  at  1927  in  retrospect  we 
find  our  opinions  running  to  di- 
verse reactions.  Mergers — expan- 
sions— millions  in  new  investments — 
the  big  fellows  getting  bigger — turmoil — 
economy — smaller  profits — the  little  fel- 
lows growing  less  important.  The  in- 
dustry as  a  whole  enjoyed  a  year  of 
mild  success.  Nineteen  hundred  and 
twenty-eight,  from  present  indications, 
will  be  far  better.  Many  sincere  econo- 
mies have  been  effected  in  all  branches. 
More  are  to  follow.  The  industry  is 
cleaning  house  for  the  long  pull.  All 
told  its  prospects  were  never  brighter. 

THE  presentation  orgy  has  about 
reached  its  limit.  In  the  unusual 
houses  like  the  Roxy,  Paramount, 
Grauman's  Egyptian  and  the  Chicago 
presentations  will  continue  to  play  their 
important  part.  In  the  small  houses 
they  must  be  abolished.  Sound  eco- 
nomics demands  it. 

PRODUCTION  will  continue  on  its 
highly  competitive  way.  Excessive 
and  extravagant  expenditures  are 
being  gradually  curtailed.  Both  players 
and  companies  are  receiving  better 
treatment  and  more  co-operation  from 
each  other.  The  importation  of  foreign 
stars  and  directors  continues.  At  pres- 
ent there  is  a  lack  of  story  material. 
New  writers  are  being  constantly  devel- 
oped. Again  the  industry  is  returning 
to  the  thought  that  after  all  "The  Pic- 
ture Is  the  Thing." 

WE  look  for  no  radical  change  in 
distribution    methods    in  1928. 
Every  one  seems  to  agree  that 
the  present  method  is  uneconomic  and 
unsound  but  like  the  weather  every  one 
talks  of  it  but  nobody  ever  does  any- 


thing about  it.  Percentage  booking  as 
a  general  practice  may  be  the  answer. 
In  time  this  may  come  but  not  in  1928. 
The  independent  producer  and  distribu- 
tor is  plugging  along  on  his  merry  way. 
For  him  1927  was  a  fairly  successful 
year.  Nineteen  hundred  and  twenty- 
eight  should  be  even  better. 

NO  period  in  the  thirty  years  of 
motion  picture  industry  was  as 
full  of  interesting  events  as  the 
past  year.  Highlights  were  many. 
Among  those  that  might  be  mentioned 
were  the  Trade  Practice  Conference 
which  attracted  nation-wide  attention, 
the  purchase  of  First  National  by 
Stanley  and  West  Coast,  the  opening  of 
the  Roxy  in  New  York  which  occasioned 
the  biggest  special  edition  of  the  year 
published  by  THE  FILM  DAILY  and 
the  subsequent  purchase  of  the  theater 
by  William  Fox,  the  trend  in  foreign 
countries  to  limit  imports  of  American 
films,  the  introduction  of  the  Brookhart 
bill  aimed  to  abolish  block  booking  and 
the  course  of  motion  picture  lectures  at 
Harvard,  sponsored  by  Joseph  P.  Ken- 
nedy. The  year  was  marked  by  the 
passing  of  Marcus  Loew,  Sam  Warner 
and  June  Mathis. 

THE  month  of  December,  1927,  saw 
the   birth   of  the    FILM  DAILY 
RELIEF  FUND.     It  has  the  en- 
thusiastic support  of  the  entire  industry. 
Much   good   has   already   been  accom- 
plished.   Its  permanency  is  assured. 

Despite  the  present  feeling  of  unrest 
the  motion  picture  industry  is  about  to 
embark  upon  its  greatest  years  of  pros- 
perity. Some  readjustments  are  still  to 
be  made.  They  are  minor  compared  to 
the  whole.  The  motion  picture  is  and 
will  continue  to  be  the  greatest  force 
for  clean,  wholesome  amusement  in  the 
world.

1928 


Cliidnoff 


FURTHER  prosperity  will  come  to  the  motion  picture  in- 
dustry in  1928,  of  course.  Always  we  are  advancing.  The 
conclusive  proof  as  to  our  progress  is  the  fact  that  neither 
within  the  industry  nor  without  is  there  any  responsible  person 
or  group  who  willingly  would  step  backward  to  conditions  of 
five  years  or  even  one  year  ago. 

Keen  and  healthy  competition  continues.  Wholesome  rivalry 
obtains  between  better  pictures  and  still  better  pictures. 

Proper  economies  in  every  branch  of  the  industry  are  being 
brought  about.  Producers,  distributors  and  exhibitors  are  getting 
closer  together  to  help  solve  each  other's  problems  in  the 
knowledge  that  no  group  can  succeed  unless  all  groups  succeed. 

The  promise  that  we  shall  have  every  year  a  meeting  of  the 
industry  such  as  the  Trade  Practice  Conference — the  mere  fact 
that  it  is  possible  for  all  branches  to  gather  in  sympathetic  con- 
sideration of  each  other's  problems — assures  a  continuance  and 
further  development  of  general  good  will  that  is  of  untold 
value. 

In  our  relations  with  the  public  we  shall  profit  as  we  serve. 
The  public  believes  in  our  sincerity  of  purpose  and  will  be 
quick  to  reward  us  for  the  certain  progress  that  is  being  made 
toward  even  better  entertainment  for  the  Earth's  millions.

His  first  production   for   Lion   Kilm   Corp.,  is

Academy  of  M.  P.  Arts 
and  Sciences 

Its  Purpose 

THE  Academy  was  formed  May  10,  1927,  in  Hollywood  by  producing  workers, 
actors,  directors,  writers,  technicians  and  producing  executives  to 

Take  aggressive  action  in  meeting  outside  attacks  which  are  unjust. 
Promote  harmony  and  solidarity  among  the  membership  and  among  the  different 
branches. 

Reconcile  internal  differences  which  may  exist  or  arise. 
Adopt  ways  and  means  to  further  the  welfare  and  protect  the  honor  and  good 
repute  of  the  profession. 

Encourage  the  improvement  of  the  arts  and  sciences  of  the  profession  by  the 
interchange  of  constructive  ideas  and  by  awards  of  merit  for  distinctive  achievements. 

Take  steps  to  develop  the  greater  power  and  influence  of  the  screen. 


The  Year  in  Review 

WITHIN  two  months  after  its  formation  the  Academy  was  successful  in  warding  off  the  pro- 
posed general  salary  reduction  of  ten  per  cent  at  the  studios. 

In  inducing  producers  to  reconsider,  the  Academy  pledged  an  economy  program  in  which 
its  members  would  extend  every  co-operation  to  reduce  costs  without  a  salary  reduction. 

Following  this  move,  Equity  undertook  negotiation  of  a  contract  with  producers  covering  em- 
ployment of  free-lance  players.  This  move  was  carried  on  despite  demand  of  Equity  that  pro- 
ducers negotiate  the  contract  through  that  organization,  and  completed  after  producers  declined  to 
deal  with  Equity.     The  contract  became  effective  Jan.  1,  1928. 

Since  it  formation  the  Academy  has  been  under  leadership  of  Douglas  Fairbanks,  who  was  re- 
elected in  November  at  the  head  of  the  slate  of  temporary  officers  chosen  when  the  organization 
was  formed.  j<! 


The  Future 

WITH  the  standard  contract  for  free-lance  players  as  a  precedent,  the  Academy  is  under- 
taking to  secure  similar  contracts  between  contract  players,  writers  and  technicians. 
Cure  of  other  declared  abuses  and  ills  also  are  called  for  in  the  aggressive  program 
outlined.

42  fan  and  trade  papers, 
two  national  magazines 
and  two  newspaper  syn- 
dicates, serving  hun- 
dreds of  newspapers, 
united  to  determine  the 
Ten  Best  Pictures  of 
1927  in  THE  FILM 
DAILY'S  Eighth  An- 
nual Poll.  One  hundred 
fifty-one  cities  in  43  states,  the  District 
of  Columbia  and  Canada  are  represented 
among  the  newspaper  critics  voting. 
Combined  circulation  of  the  newspapers 
thus  represented  totals  17,510,092. 

Feature  releases  of  all  companies,  sup- 
plied by  distributors  themselves,  were 
sent  to  voters,  who  were  asked  to  con- 
fine their  selections  to  pictures  released 
between  Dec.  1,  1926.  and  Nov.  30,  1927.

Poll 


leased  generally,  be  not 
given  consid  eration, 
several  critics  voted  on 
these  pictures. 

This  tendency  in  pre- 
ceding years  placed  pic- 
tures in  the  Ten  Best 
list  which  did  not  be- 
long during  that  year's 
selections.  Thus:  "Beau 
Geste,"   "The   Big  Pa- 
rade," "Ben  Hur,"  and 
"What     Price  Glory" 
are   included    (rightfully)    this   year,  al- 
though last  year  they  should  not  have 
been  voted  upon. 

Pictures  in  the  roadshow  class,  on 
which  critics  were  asked  not  to  vote  in 
the  poll  are:  "The  Gaucho,"  "The  Jazz 
Singer,"  "The  King  of  Kings,"  "Old 
Ironsides,"  "The  Patent  Leather  Kid," 
"The  Student  Prince,"  "Sunrise,"  "Uncle 
Tom's  Cabin"  and  "Wings." 

Thirty-six  pictures,  which  received  ten 
votes  or  more  are  placed  on  The  Honor 
Roll.

The  Trade  Practice  Parley 


The  Six  Points 

Following  is  the  compromise 
agreement  on  block  booking.  This 
and  decision  to  draft  a  new  uniform 
contract  were  outstanding  accom- 
plishments of  the  conference. 

1.  The  sales  methods  known  as  block 
booking  shall  not  be  used  for  the  accom- 
plishment of  any  illegal  purpose. 

2.  No  distributor  will  require  as  a  con- 
dition of  permitting  an  exhibitor  to  lease  its 
pictures  that  such  exhibitor  shall  also  lease 
pictures  of  another  distributor. 

3.  If  any  exhibitor  shall  claim  within  a 
reasonable  time  prior  to  the  date  fixed  for 
the  exhibition  of  any  picture  included  in  any 
block  leased  by  him  that  such  picture  will  be 
offensive  to  the  cliente'e  of  his  theater  be- 
cause of  racial  or  religious  subject  matter, 
such  claim  shall  be  arbitrated  by  the  board 
of  arbitration  of  the  proper  zone,  and,  if 
sustained,  such  exhibitor  shall  be  relieved  of 
obligation  to  take  and  pay  for  such  picture. 

4.  If  any  exhibitor  who  has  purchased 
an  entire  block  of  pictures  offered  by  any 
distributor  so  elects  within  a  reasonable 
time  prior  to  the  date  fixed  for  exhibition  of 
any  picture  included  in  such  block,  such  ex- 
hibitor may  refuse  to  take  such  picture  by 
paying  one-half  the  allocated  price  thereof, 
provided  that  the  picture  so  rejected  out  of 
any  block  shall  not  exceed  ten  per  cent  of 
the  number  included  in  such  block,  and,  if 
a  rejected  picture  is  resold  by  the  distribu- 
tor, one-half  the  net  price  received  on  such 
resale  shall  be  credited  against  the  exhibit- 
or's obligation  in  respect  of  such  picture  up 
to  the  amount  of  such  obligation. 

5.  Reissues  will  not  be  included  in  any 
block  with  new  pictures. 

6.  Newsreels  and  short  subjects  will  not 
be  included  in  any  block  with  features  and 
the  lease  of  newsreels  or  short  subject  blocks 
shall  not  be  required  as  a  condition  of 
being  permitted  to  lease  feature  blocks  or 
vice  versa. 


SPONSORED  by  the  Federal  Trade 
Commission,  the  Trade  Practice 
Conference,  held  in  New  York,  Oct. 
10-15,  proved  one  of  the  most  construc- 
tive events  of  the  industry's  history. 
Its  purpose  was  to  eliminate  unfair 
practices  and  to  formulate  a  code  of 
ethics  which  would  eliminate  any  need 
for  government  regulation.  This  code, 
the  Commission  emphasized,  must  pro- 
vide for  elimination  of  block  booking, 
which  was  branded  unfair  by  the  com- 
mission in  its  order  against  Paramount. 

While  considerable  debate  and  heat- 
ed discussions  existed,  the  six  day 
meetings  were  marked  with  a  spirit  of 
cooperation,  emphasized  by  a  volun- 
tary decision  of  the  industry  to  make 
the  conference  an  annual  event.  When 
the  conference  adjourned,  two  achieve- 
ments stood  out,  (1)  the  compromise 
on  block  booking  and  (2)  decision  to 
write  a  new  uniform  contract.  Dis- 
tributor theater  operation  was  declared 
fair,  except  when  resorted  to  for  il- 
legal or  unfair  purposes. 

The  four  divisions  of  the  conference: 
producers,  distributors,  affiliated  ex- 
hibitors and  unaffiliated  exhibitors  now 
are  engaged  in  plans  to  revise  the  con- 
tract. 

A  number  of  other  resolutions  adopt- 
ed seek  to  eliminate  objectionable  ma- 
terial in  films,  free  shows,  cheating  on 
percentage  showings,  bicycling,  paid 
advertising  in  films,  print  holdovers, 
bribing  as  between  exhibitor  and  sales- 
men, faked  theater  sales  to  avoid  ful- 
fillment of  contracts  and  misleading 
and  salacious  advertising. 


Findings  of  the  Trade  Practice  Conference  now  are  under  consideration  by 
the  Federal  Trade  Commission,  which  soon  is  expected  to  announce  a  code  of 
ethics  for  the  industry.  After  the  code  is  drafted,  it  is  binding  on  the  entire 
industry,  with  the  Commission  prepared  to  institute  suit  against  any  defaulting 
member.

Film  Daily 

Its  Purpose 

A      HOLIDAY    drive  was 
-i*-  launched  through  the  col- 
umns of  THE  FILM  DAILY 
to  raise  a  relief  fund  to  take 
care    of    needy    cases  within 
the    industry    in    New  York. 
Throughout  the  year  the  fund 
will  be  used  to  aid  worthy  in- 
dividuals who  find  themselves 
in  financial  straits  through  ill- 
ness or  other  unfortunate  cir- 
cumstances.    The   relief  fund 
meets  a  very  definite  need  for 
some  such  agency  that  can  ren- 
der prompt  assistance. 

Relief  Fund 

$6,000  Raised 
in  Four  Weeks 

QENEROUS 

response   was   made  by 

250  regular 

fellows  in  all  branches 

of  the  industry 

to  THE  FILM  DAILY'S 

appeal    to    establish    a   relief   fund  for 

worthy  cases  in  need  of  immediate  finan- 

cial assistance. 

The  successful  drive  was 

closed  Christmas  Day  with  over  $6,000 

subscribed.  It 

marks  the  first  time  that 

any  definite  and   systematic   effort  has 

been  made  to 

meet  the  need  of  urgent 

cases  in  New  York  film  circles.  Every 

penny  will  go  to  charity,  as  THE  FILM 

DAILY  pays  all  administration  expenses. 

A  certified  accountant  will  regularly  aud- 

it the  accounts 

The  committee  consists 

of  Dr.  A.  H. 

Giannini,  Governor  Carl 

Milliken,  Billy  Brandt,  Bruce  Gallup  and 

Jack  Alicoate.

Trend  of  Stage  Shows 


J^O  DEVELOPMENT  of  the  past 
year  has  created  more  heated  dis- 
cussion and  differences  of  opinion 
than  the  influence  of  stage  acts  and 
presentations  on  the  motion  picture 
theater.  The  movement  is  still  large- 
ly in  the  experimental  stage.  By  the 
end  of  1928  theater  owners  will  no 
doubt  have  developed  a  definite  policy 
on  the  problem — for  it  is  a  problem. 
What  degree  of  importance  shall  be 
accorded  the  stage  presentation? 


Building  the  Show 

'JHE  BIG  circuits  have  each  developed  their  own  systems  for  handling 
stage  presentations.  Publix  builds  up  its  units  comprising  a  complete 
show  which  are  regularly  routed  over  the  circuit,  opening  in  New  Haven  or 
in  New  York.  West  Coast  Theaters  depend  principally  on  Fanchon  &  Marco 
to  develop  their  attractions,  which  are  built  along  the  lines  of  a  tab  revue. 
Loew's  have  their  own  agency  for  lining  up  individual  acts  that  are  booked 
around  the  circuit.  This  latter  plan  is  followed  by  most  of  the  circuits. 
The  individual  theater  depends  on  a  booking  agency  to  supply  the  stage 
talent. 

Band  Shows 

'J'HE  BAND  show  is  the  most  promising  development  in  the  new  type  of 
entertainment.  It  has  become  an  institution  with  most  of  the  big  houses. 
With  a  prominent  band  leader  who  is  generally  the  master  of  ceremonies, 
this  permanent  feature  from  week  to  week  has  proved  a  great  patronage 
builder.  With  the  stage  band  as  a  nucleus,  the  changing  weekly  acts  can 
easily  be  built  into  an  entertaining  program,  many  believe. 

29 


The  Line-Up 

OVER  $1,000,000  paid  out  in  sal- 
aries and  production  costs  each 
week  for  stage  presentations. 

5,000  people  are  working  in  over 
200  de  luxe  picture  theaters. 

There  are  over  2,000  individual 
specialty  acts  appearing  in  presen- 
tation shows  or  in  front  of  stage 
bands. 

From  25  weeks  to  a  year's  work 
in  picture  houses  can  be  secured  by 
any  vehicle  or  artist  with  the  prop- 
er routine. 

Over  25  agencies  in  New  York 
alone  are  booking  acts  regularly  in- 
to picture  houses.

HERE  are  presented  many 
of  the  outstanding  events 
transpiring  within  the  picture 
industry  in  the  last  decade. 
They  are  merely  highlights  that 
mark  the  epic  growth  of  this 
modern  commercial  giant. 

From  a  catchpenny  novelty 
this  giant  has  developed  into 
a  world  industry.  And  into  the 
romance  of  its  growth  is  wo- 
ven the  diplomacy  of  nations, 
the  machinery  of  Wall  Street 
and  its  billions,  the  human 
story  of  screen  personalities 
risen  from  obscurity  to  glamor- 
ous world-idols.

listed  alphabetically,  with  names  of  distributor,  star  and  director,  the  review  date  and

THE  FILM  DAILY  review  dates  appear  in  connection  with  most  titles  in  the 
following  chart,  but  there  are  some  missing  dates,  this  because  many  pictures,  particu- 
larly those  of  independent  distributors,  were  not  submitted  for  review,  or  because  the 
picture  was  not  reviewed  up  to  press  time.  Asterisks  indicate  features  scheduled  for 
early  1928  release  and  recorded  in  this  listing  only  for  review  date  purposes.

Columbia's  Past  Record 
Is  a  Guarantee  of  Future 
Performance! 

DURING    1927,    Columbia   considerably   enhanced   its    standing  with 
theatre-owners  through  the   quality  and   general   excellence  of  its 
product.    Not  only  was  every  promise  kept,  but  even  more  was  de- 
livered than  was  promised. 

Box-office  records  testify  to  the  fact  that  in  Columbia  Pictures  exhib- 
itors have  a  product  upon  which  they  can  depend  at  all  times  for  Quality 
and  Profit.  In  fact,  Columbia  Pictures  everywhere  are  being  acclaimed  the 
most  consistent  productions  of  the  year,  and  are  being  booked  by  leading 
circuits  and  first-run  theatres  from  coast  to  coast. 

Encouraged  by  increased  exhibitor  support  and  confidence,  Columbia 
plans  to  go  further  than  ever  before  in  making  pictures  worthy  of  a  prom- 
inent place  on  the  booking  sheets  of  every  theatre. 

Future  productions  are  to  be  highly  diversified  in  type,  and  rich  in 
entertainment  values.  Each  is  to  be  produced  on  a  lavish  scale.  Prominent 
stars  and  worthwhile  casts  are  to  be  augmented  by  the  names  of  prominent 
authors  whose  specially  selected  stories  are  to  be  brought  to  the  screen. 

The  best  production  brains  in  the  history  plus  an  experienced  and  well 
seasoned  producing  organization,  together  with  alert  showmanship,  guar- 
antee the  exhibitor  attractions  of  dependable  quality. 

Columbia  will  continue  to  deserve  the  cooperation  and  support  of 
exhibitors  by  making  the  kind  of  pictures  the  public  wants  to  see  and  that 
the  theatre-owner  can  play  with  profit,  prestige  and  satisfaction. 

With  its  personally  owned  studios,  a  highly  efficient  producing  staff, 
ample  financial  resources  and  no  theatre  interests,  Columbia  pledges  itself 
to  continue  to  make  pictures  that  will  give  exhibitors  an  assured  profit.

INSURANCE 

IN    —    ALL    —   ITS   —  BRANCHES 


HP  HIS  company  offers  to  the  corpo- 
ration  or  individual  a  comprehen- 
sive program  of  protection,  backed  by 
years  of  practical  experience  and  re- 
search in  the  motion  picture  industry 
and  its  many  branches. 


FROM  plate  glass  to  theaters,  from 
automobiles  to  lives,  from  rain  to 
films,  no  risk  is  too  large  for  this  con- 
cern to  handle,  none  too  small  to  re- 
ceive its  undivided  attention.  Its  bus- 
iness relationship  is  nation  wide. 
Whether  you  live  in  South  Bend  or 
Hollywood,  Atlanta  or  New  York, 
your  problems  will  receive  sympa- 
thetic, intelligent,  efficient  handling. 


BEING  specialists  to  the  motion  pic- 
ture and  theatrical  business  for  the 
past  fifteen  years  means  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  the  problems  that  con- 
front the  theater  owner.  Simply  say- 
ing insurance  is  one  thing.  The  prac- 
tical application  of  years  of  experience 
to  your  own  individual  problems  is 
another.  Such  is  the  service  that  is  as 
close  to  you  as  your  telephone.

TITLES,  NAMES  OF  DISTRIBUTORS  and  "Film  Daily"  review,  or  release  date, 
of  over  8,500  feature  productions  released  between  January  1,  1915,  and  January  1, 
1927,  appear  in  this  compilation.  Releases  of  1927  will  be  found  on  page  35.  The 
review  date  gives  an  approximate  idea  of  the  actual  release  date.  Year  of  release  is 
mentioned  in  connection  with  those  pictures  which  have  not  been  reviewed.  It  is 
suggested  that  the  chart  of  "Original  Titles"  be  consulted  where  no  record  of  a  par- 
ticular production  appears  in  this  list,  as  ofttimes,  distributors  change  titles  of  books 
or  plays  when  releasing  the  film  version.

Features  of 


of  Interest  to  YOU 

TONE— The  quality  of  tone  is  the  near- 
est to  absolute  perfection  that  has  ever 
been  achieved. 

SYNCHRONIZATION  -  Pictures  and 
sound  are  perfectly  synchronized,  and 
protected  against  the  slightest  deviation 
from  perfect  harmony. 

SIMPLICITY-  Your  own  operator  can 
handle  Vocafilm  alone.  No  extra  help 
of  any  kind  is  required. 

COST—  So  low  that  every  theatre  can  af- 
ford it.  No  service  fees  or  seat  tax. 

TERMS— So  easy  as  to  be  within  the 
reach  of  all,  the  smallest  as  well  as  the 
largest. 


For  Every  Theatre 

OCAFILM 

Vocafilm  is  now  made  available  to  every  theatre 
through  the  Educational  Exchanges. 

The  introduction  of  Vocafilm  to  the  exhibitor  marks 
the  beginning  of  a  new  era  in  theatre  music  and  en- 
tertainment in  sound  generally.  This  simple  device  for 
the  synchronization  of  motion  pictures  and  sound 
achieves  a  beauty  of  tone  and  a  perfection  of  synchro- 
nization that  are  a  revelation.  Its  ease  and  simplicity 
of  operation  and  economy  in  original  cost  and  main- 
tenance make  it  practical  for  any  house,  anywhere. 
Thus  there  is  brought  to  the  smallest  town  the 
highest  type  of  "acts"  and  of  musical  entertainment 
synchronized  with  pictures  that  is  possible  to  the 
greatest  theatre  on  New  York's  Broadway.

VENTEEN  years  of 
achievement  have  given  Samuel 
Goldwyn  a  distinctive  position 
in  the  motion  picture  industry. 

"The  Magic  Flame,"  "The 
Devil  Dancer"  and  "Leather-

further  the  unbroken  record  for 
consecutive  successes  built  by 
"Stella Dallas,"  "The  Winning 
of  Barbara  Worth"  and  "The 
Night  of  Love." 

The  tremendous  popularity  of 
Ronald  Colman,  Vilma  Banky

timony to  the  genius  of  Samuel

Books,  Plays  Released  Under  New  Titles 


THIS  compilation  contains  550  original  titles  of  plays  and  books  from  which  motion 
picture  stories  have  been  adapted,  and  the  title  under  which  the  film  was  released, 
also  the  name  of  the  author.  It  does  not  include  titles  of  books  and  plays  where  the 
original  title  was  retained  upon  release.  This  data  is  presented  primarily  to  aid  those 
wishing  to  know  if  a  certain  book  or  play  has  been  produced,  where  its  title  has  been 
changed  when  put  into  scenario  form.  It  is  impossible  to  obtain  the  original  name  of 
every  title  change,  due  to  the  fact  that  distributors  do  not  always  mention  the  change 
when  a  film  is  released. 

Distributors  and  release  dates  on  any  of  the  following  released  up  to  January  1, 
1927,  will  be  found  in  the  list  of  "Titles  of  8,500  Features,"  on  page  67.  All  1927  releases

M-G-M  GETS  BEHIND 
ITS  GREAT  PRODUCT! 


Leo,  the  Flying  M-G-M  Lion 
brought  more  publicity  to  M-G- 
M's  trade -mark  than  years  of 
national  advertising  by  othei 
companies. 


Reaching  the  nationwide  fan  audience 
with  M-G-M  monthly  magazine  fan 
contest  is  the  greatest  direct  ■  to  -  public 
promotion  today.  Above  a  few  fan 
contest  winners. 


M-G'M  was  first  to  flash  adrby 
Giant  Searchlight  Projector  on 
Broadway.  A  big  nationwide 
publicity  smash  for  M-G-M. 


M-G-M's  "Telemovies"  of 
"Love"  reached  millions  when 
26  radio  stations  cooperated  in 
broadcast  direct  from  Embassy 
Theatre,  N.Y.  Another  pioneer 
M-G-M  achievement. 


Fresh  from  European 
triumphs  M-G-M  Trackless 
Train  now  in  South  America 
continues  amazing  world  tour. 


SHOWMEN  are 

NATURALLY  attracted 
TO  M-G-M,  because 
YOUNG  Blood  is 
ON   its  toes  always! 
PEP!  Enthusiasm! 
INNOVATIONS!  Daring! 
WE  keep  M-G-M  stars 
AND  activities 
BEFORE  the  public 
WITH  showmanship!

U.  S.  Gov't  in  Production 


rpHROUGH  its  numerous  departments,  the  Government  of  the  United  States  en- 
gages  in  production  and  distribution  on  a  rather  large  scale.  Scores  of  new 
subjects  are  made  available  each  year.  They  embrace  short  subjects  only,  most  of 
them  one  reel  in  length.  From  the  films  produced,  one  may  obtain  a  comprehensive 
idea  of  agriculture,  forestry,  rural  engineering,  of  safeguarding  life  methods,  health 
standards  and  elementary  school  subjects. 

A  description  of  production  activities  of  government  departments  follows: 


DEPARTMENT  OF  AGRICULTURE 

The  Department  of  Agriculture  maintains  a 
fully  equipped  motion  picture  office,  studio  and 
laboratory.  It  is  unique  and  distinctive  in  that  it 
is  the  only  institution  of  its  kind  devoted  entirely 
to  the  production  and  distribution  of  educational 
motion  pictures  for  instruction  in  agriculture,  for- 
estry, rural  engineering  and  home  economics.  From 
the  films  produced  one  may  learn  how  to  raise 
and  care  for  cattle,  horses,  sheep,  swine,  poultry 
and  birds :  how  to  produce  crops  of  all  sorts : 
combat  destructive  insects  and  diseases :  to 
meet  engineering  problem?  on  the  farm  and 
build  roads:  how  to  care  for  the  home  and  health 
of  the  family,  and  about  Federal  regulations  re- 
garding animals,  crops,  forests,  insects,  rural  or- 
ganizations and  marketing. 

The  Department  produces  these  films  for  the 
purpose  of  making  available  to  the  public  in  gen- 
eral and  to  the  rural  and  other  people  directly 
interested,  in  particular,  the  developments  and  dis- 
coveries resulting  from  the  scientific  investigations 
of  the  Department  and  its  cooperating  State  insti- 
tutions, which  will  assist  toward  the  establishment 
of  better  practices  in  the  forest,  on  the  farm  and 
in  the  home,  in  a  higher  and  better  standard  of 
living,  and  a  happier  home  life. 

There  are  now  in  circulation  by  the  Depart- 
ment about  2,500,000  ft.  of  film  in  addition  to  the 
films  purchased  from  the  Department  which  amount 
to  nearly  half  a  million  feet  annually.  Because 
of  the  demand  for  these  films,  which  is  greater 
than  the  Department  is  able  to  fill,  the  right  is 
reserved  to  limit  the  distribution  to  individuals 
and  institutions  interested  in  and  concerned  with 
the  subject  matter  in  the  pictures.  Films  are  fur- 
nished free  except  for  transportation  both  ways. 
Address:  Office  of  Motion  Pictures,  Extension  Ser- 
vice, U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture,  Washing- 
ton, D.  C. 

*  *  * 

DEPARTMENT  OF  THE  INTERIOR 

Motion  picture  films  illustrating  various  phases 
of  the  work  of  the  Department  of  the  Interior  are 
available  for  distribution  through  the  Bureau  of 
Reclamation,  the  Geological  Survey,  the  Office  of 
Indian  Affairs,  the  Bureau  of  Education,  and  the 
National  Park  Service,  all  branches  of  this  de- 
partment. Prints  are  loaned,  without  charge,  ex- 
cept for  the  payment  of  transportation  both  ways. 
Address:  E.  C.  Finney,  First  Assistant  Secretary, 
Department  of  the  Interior,  Washington,  D.  C. 

*  *  * 

DEPARTMENT  OF  LABOR 

The  Children's  Bureau  and  the  Women's  Bureau, 
both  branches  of  the  Department  of  Labor,  engage 
in  production.  The  former  produced  and  dis- 
tributes four  films,  "Our  Children,"  showing  com- 
munity responsibility  for  child  welfare;  "Well 
Born,"  illustrating  need  for  prenatal  care; 
"Posture,"  showing  the  relation  of  good  posture 
to  child  health;  and  "Sunbabies,"  depicting  the 
action  of  sunlight  in  the  preventing  and  cure  of 
rickets  in  children.  A  film  on  infant  feeding  will 
be  released  in  the  near  future.  These  may  be 
obtained  for  showing,  without  charge  except  for 
transportation  both  ways.  Address:  Children's  Bu- 
reau    U.   S.   Department   of  Labor,  Washington, 


DEPARTMENT   OF  COMMERCE 

The  largest  collection  of  educational  motion  pic- 
tures depicting  the  mining,  treatment,  distribution 
and  utilization  of  the  numerous  essential  minerals 
ever  compiled  is  in  the  possession  of  the  Bureau 
of  Mines,  Department  of  Commerce.  At  present, 
the  Bureau's  film  library  includes  pictures  on 
more  than  fifty  subjects  visualizing  the  opera- 
tions of  the  mineral  and  allied  industries  of  the 
nation.  There  are  more  than  2,000,000  feet  of  film 
now  owned  by  the  Bureau.  It  represents  an  ex- 
penditure of  close  to  $1,000,000.  The  expense  of 
making  films  by  this  department  is  borne  by  pri- 
vate industrial  enterprises.  There  are  features 
and  short  subjects  of  all  sorts,  dealing  with  oil, 
motors,  coal,  iron  and  ore  mining,  safety  methods, 
explosives,  copper  mining,  heavy  machinery,  rock 
drilling,  water  power,  transportation  methods,  bat- 
teries, lead  smelting  and  mining,  steel,  gas,  au- 
tomobile manufacture,  manufacture  of  cement  and 
numerous  other  industrial  subjects.  Films  are 
loaned  free.  Address:  Bureau  of  Mines,  Experi- 
ment Station,  Pittsburgh,  Pa. 

*  *  * 
NAVY  DEPARTMENT 

The  Navy  Department  produces  and  releases 
films  for  the  dissemination  of  naval  information  in 
general,  and  particularly  to  assist  repruiting. 
There  are  at  present  seventeen  films  on  the 
Navy's  release  schedule,  all  of  which  depict  naval 
activities,  or  travelogues  in  which  navy  personnel 
participate.  These  films  are  supplied  to  various 
recruiting  stations,  of  which  there  are  forty  main 
stations  throughout  the  country,  for  release  to 
picture  theaters  and  exchanges,  without  charge. 
Some  pictures  are  produced  by  the  Recruiting 
Bureau  with  its  own  personnel,  and  some  under 
outside  contract.  Six  single  reelers  were  mad» 
in  1926.  These  are  a  series  of  animated  travel- 
ogues, indicating  the  opportunities  for  travel  and 
sight  seeing  enjoyed  by  the  Navy.  Address:  Af. 
H.  Goss,  Commander.  U.  S.  Navy  Recruiting 
Bureau,  South  and  Whitehall  Sts.,  New  York 
City. 

*  *  * 
TREASURY  DEPARTMENT 

The  Public  Health  Service  of  the  Treasury  De- 
partment has  not  made  any  films  during  the  past 
year.  It  is,  however,  releasing  a  series  titled 
"Science  of  Life,"  made  in  1925.  These  pictures 
are  not  for  general  release,  but  are  loaned  to 
state  health  departments,  county  health  depart- 
ments and  others,  for  use  in  carrying  out  public 
health  programs  before  free  audiences.  Address: 
Office  of  the  Surgeon  General,  Public  Health 
Service,  Treasury  Dept.,  Washington,  D.  C. 

*  *  * 

WAR  DEPARTMENT 

The  Army  Pictorial  Service,  Signal  Corps,  of 
the  War  Department,  has  thousands  of  feet  of 
valuable  war  scenes  and  army  manoeuvers  in  its 
library.  This  film  is  not  for  general  distribution, 
but  producers  may  inspect  the  files  of  the  De- 
partment with  a  view  to  selecting  suitable  scenes. 
Negative  is  not  permitted  to  leave  the  vaults,  but 
positive  prints  may  be  made  right  at  the  depart- 
ment's own  laboratory  for  ten  cents  per  foot. 
Address:  Army  Pictorial  Service,  Signal  Corps, 
War  Dept.,  Washington,  D.  C.

FOX 
PICTURES 

today  are  where  the  intelligent 
planning  and  foresight  of 
their  makers  have  put  them — 
in  the  front  rank  of  demand 
with  exhibitors  of  vision. 

"FOX  IS  MAKING  THE  BEST  PICTURES  NOW 
says  the  Trade, 
and  the  Trade  is  right. 

For  the  season  of  1927-28  Fox  has 
released  a  number  of  attractions 
notable  by  reason  of  their  direct 
tors  and  their  casts,  and  unique  in 
that  every  title  and  story  has  been 
chosen  with  an  eye  to  profitable 
business  and  patronage.

Your  public  demands  on  the  screen  ever 
new  faces,  youth,  beauty  in  its  women,  in-; 
telligence  and  personality  in  all  its  players. 
Fox  pictures  meet  this  demand  with  an 
array  of  youthful  talent  to  be  found  in  no 
other  product.  At  the  head  of  each  cast 
stands  some  young  artists  to  whom  your 
patrons  have  already  given  their  approval. 


PHOTOPLAY  MAGAZINE  says: 


"Youth,  the  New  Battle  Cry  of  Filmdom  .  .  . 
Fox  outmarathons  them  all,  for  quietly  and  with- 
out bombast  it  has  created  two  genuine  girl  stars 
— Janet  Gaynor  and  Olive  Borden,  signed  Lois 
Moran  and  have  in  the  grooming  Charles  Farrell, 
Barry  Norton  and  Charles  Morton." — Yes,  Mr. 
Editor — and  a  host  of  others. 


ARTHUR  JAMES,  Editor 

of  Motion  Pictures  Today,  says: 

"The  public  is  responding  to  the  youth  that  now 
is  beginning  to  replace  the  more  aged  leads  and 
stars.  Looking  over  the  newer  list  we  see  .  .  . 
Janet  Gaynor,  Olive  Borden,  Madge  Bellamy, 
Dolores  Del  Rio,  Lois  Moran  ...  all  rapidly 
rising  box  office  attractions,  all  representing 
youth."

Directors  &  Their  Productions 


THIS  RECORD  covers  all  features  made  by  directors  during  the  past  three  years,  from 
January  1,  1925,  to  January  1,  1928.  In  each  edition  of  "The  Film  Daily  Year 
Book,"  the  current  year's  work  of  directors  is  added  and  one  year  is  discontinued.  In 
previous  issues,  this  compilation  has  covered  five  years,  but  because  a  five-year  history 
allows  of  too  many  obsolete  listings,  it  has  been  found  advisable  to  confine  activities  to 
three  years.  However,  if  information  is  desired  on  the  work  of  directors  prior  to  1925, 
it  may  readily  be  obtained  from  "The  Film  Daily"  Information  Service. 

Other  production  charts  in  this  volume  include  the  work  of  players,  cameramen  and 
scenarists;  a  list  of  books  and  plays  released  under  new  titles;  and  what  is  believed  to 
be  the  most  important  record  of  features  available — a  compilation  containing  titles  of  all 
features  released  since  1915. 

It  is  important  to  bear  in  mind  that  the  data  which  follows  was  supplied  by  dis- 
tributors at  the  time  of  reviewing.

Free-Lance  Players9  Standard  Contract 


LATE  in  December,  the  controversy  between  producers  and  free  lance  actors  was 
settled  by  adoption  of  a  standard  contract  by  the  actors'  branch  of  the  Academy  of 
M.  P.  Arts  and  Sciences  which  went  into  effect  on  Jan.  1,  1928.    The  text  follows: 


AGREEMENT,  made  this  day  of 

  192...,  between  

  (hereinafter  called  "producer") 

and   

(hereinafter  called  "artist"). 

I. 

The  producer  hereby  engages  the  artist  to  render 

services  as  such  in  the  character  of  

 in  the  motion  picture,  the  work- 
ing title  of  which  is  now  "  

 "  at  a  salary  of  

 Dollars   ($  )   per  week.  The 

artist  accepts  said  engagement  upon  the  terms 
herein  specified. 

II. 

The  employment  herein  shall  begin  on  or  about 

the  day  of   19  , 

and  shall  continue  thereafter  until  the  completion 
of  the  photographing  of  said  character.  If  after 
the  expiration  of  the  term  hereof  the  producer 
should  desire  the  services  of  the  artist  in  making 
retakes  or  in  taking  added  scenes,  or  in  making 
any  change  or  changes  in  said  photoplay,  the 
artist  agrees  to  render  such  services  in  connection 
therewith  as  and  when  the  producer  may  request, 
at  the  same  rate  of  compensation  and  upon  the 
same  terms  as  provided  for  herein,  said  compensa- 
tion to  be  paid  only  for  the  days  on  which  the 
artist  is  actually  so  employed.  The  phrase  "on 
or  about"  as  hereinabove  used  shall  allow  a  lati- 
tude of  forty-eight  (48)  hours  (exclusive  of  Sun- 
days and  holidays),  either  prior  to  or  after  the 
date  hereinabove  specified  as  the  commencement  of 
the  terms  hereof ;  it  being  agreed  that  the  exact 
date  for  the  commencement  of  the  therm  hereof 
is  to  be  specified  by  the  producer  and  is  to  be  not 
earlier  than  forty-eight  (48)  hours  before  the  date 
hereinabove  specified,  nor  later  than  forty-eight 
(48)  hours  after  the  date  hereinabove  specified  (ex- 
clusive of  Sundays  and  holidays).  The  term  "char- 
acter" as  used  in  this  agreement  shall  be  deemed 
to  refer  to  said  character  as  now  written  and/or 
as  it  may  from  time  to  time  hereafter  be  rewritten 
and/or  lengthened  and/or  shortened  by  the  pro- 
ducer in  the  exercise  of  its  sole  discretion  and 
judgment. 

III. 

The  artist  agrees  to  be  prompt  in  appearing  for 
work  as  required  by  the  producer,  to  perform  the 
required  services  hereunder  in  a  conscientious  and 
painstaking  manner,  and  to  abide  by  the  reasonable 
rules  and  regulations  of  the  producer.  The  artist 
agrees  that  the  producer  shall  have  the  right  to 
use  and  give  publicity  to  the  artist's  name  and 
likeness,  photographic  or  otherwise,  in  connection 
with  the  distribution  and  exploitation  of  the  pic- 
ture hereinbefore  mentioned,  and  to  authorize  dis- 
tributors and  exhibitors  so  to  do.  The  producer 
shall  have  the  exclusive  right  to  the  services  of  the 
artist  during  the  term  hereof,  and  the  artist  agrees 
that  during  the  term  hereof  the  artist  will  not  ren- 
der any  services  of  any  kind  to  or  for  any  person, 
firm,  or  corporation  other  than  the  producer  with- 
out first  obtaining  the  express  written  consent  of 
the  producer.  The  producer  shall  have  the  right 
to  photograph  and  reproduce  any  and  all  of  the 
artist's  acts,  poses,  plays,  and  appearances  of  any 
and  all  kinds  during  the  term  hereof,  and  to  dis- 
tribute and  exploit  the  same,  or  any  of  them,  in 
the  photoplay  hereinabove  referred  to  and/or  in 
any  other  photoplay  and/or  otherwise,  as  the  pro- 
ducer may  desire. 

IV. 

Where  the  services  of  the  artist  are  required  to 
be  performed  outside  of  the  city  of  Los  Angeles 
or  its  environs,  the  producer  shall  transport  the 


artist  and  the  reasonable  personal  baggage  of  the 
artist,  and  pay  all  necessary  traveling  expenses, 
including  reasonable  charges  for  board  and  lodg- 
ing. 

V. 

If  the  production  of  said  photoplay  be  neces- 
sarily prevented,  suspended,  or  postponed  during 
the  course  of  production,  by  reason  of  fire,  ac- 
cident, strike,  riot,  act  of  God,  or  of  the  public 
enemy,  executive,  or  judicial  order,  on  salary 
need  be  paid  the  artist  for  the  first  week's  pre- 
vention, suspension,  or  postponement,  or  if  pre- 
vented, suspended,  or  postponed  by  reason  of  the 
illness  of  any  other  member  of  the  cast  or  of 
the  director,  full  salary  shall  be  paid  the  artist 
for  the  first  week's  prevention,  suspension,  or 
postponement ;  but  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the 
producer  during  said  week  to  notify  the  artist 
in  writing  whether  the  producer  will  entirely  dis- 
continue the  production  or  further  suspend  or  post- 
pone it ;  in  the  latter  event  the  producer  shall  pay 
the  artist  half  salary  during  such  further  sus- 
pended or  postponed  period.  At  the  end  of  five 
(5)  weeks  from  the  date  on  which  the  producer 
has  stopped  production  the  artist  may  terminate 
this  employment  if  the  artist  so  elects,  unless  the 
producer  continues  thereafter  to  pay  the  artist  full 
weekly  compensation.  In  the  event  that  said 
production  is  interrupted,  suspended,  or  postponed, 
as  hereinabove  in  this  paragraph  provided,  then 
and  in  that  event  the  producer  may  terminate  this 
employment  at  any  time  after  the  commencement 
of  such  prevention,  suspension,  or  postponement. 
VI. 

The  (artist)  (producer)  agrees  to  funush  all 
modern  wardrobe  and  wearing  apparel  necessary  in 
the  judgment  of  the  producer  for  the  portrayal  of 
said  character;  it  bemg  agreed,  however,  that 
should  so-called  "character"  or  "period"  costumes 
be  required  the  producer  shall  supply  the  same. 
Any  loss  of  or  damage  to  costumes,  wardrobe,  and 
other  property  furnished  by  the  artist  necessarily 
arising  through  the  performance  of  the  artist's 
services,  or  through  lack  of  due  care  on  the  part  of 
the  producer,  shall  be  paid  for  by  the  producer 
to  the  artist.  All  costumes,  wardrobe,  and  other 
property  furnished  by  the  producer  shall  belong  to 
the  producer  and  be  returned  promptly  to  it, 
and  any  loss  or  damage  thereto  arising  through 
lack  of  due  care  on  the  part  of  the  artist,  or 
not  necessarily  arising  through  the  performance 
of  the  artist's  services,  shall  be  paid  for  by  the 
artist  to  the  producer.  Any  loss  of  or  damage  to 
wardrobe,  for  which  either  party  hereto  may  be 
liable,  shall  be  computed  on  the  basis  of  deprecia- 
tion schedules  to  be  furnished  from  time  to  time 
by  the  American  Appraisal  Company. 

VII. 

The  producer  may  terminate  the  artist's  em- 
ployment at  any  time,  either  prior  to  the  com- 
mencement of  production  of  said  photoplay  or  dur- 
ing the  course  of  production ;  provided,  however, 
that  if  the  producer  elect  to  terminate  the  artist's 
employment  hereunder  more  than  thirty  (30)  days 
prior  to  the  starting  date  hereinabove  in  para- 
graph II  specified,  then  and  in  that  event  the 
producer  shall  be  free  from  all  liability  of  every 
kind  whatsoever;  but  provided  further  that  if 
the  producer  elect  to  terminate  the  artist's  employ, 
ment  hereunder  at  any  time  within  thirty  (30) 
days  prior  to  said  starting  date,  or  at  any  time 
thereafter,  or  during  the  course  of  production  of 
said  photoplay,  the  producer  shall  be  obligated  to 
pay  the  artist  such  balance,  if  any,  as  is  then 
unpaid   for   services  theretofore  rendered   by  the

the  payment  of  which  the  producer  shall  be  dis- 
charged of  and  from  all  liability  whatsoever  here- 
under. It  is  understood,  of  course,  that  should 
the  producer  elect  to  terminate  the  artist's  em- 
ployment hereunder,  pursuant  to  the  provisions 
of  paragraph  V  hereof,  or  by  reason  of  illness 
on  the  part  of  the  artist,  then  and  in  either  of 
said  events  the  producer  shall  not  be  obligated

VIII. 

If  during  the  first  or  last  week  of  the  artist's

week  shall  be  prorated,  and  for  this  purpose  one 
day's  salary  shall  be  one-sixth  (1/6)  of  the  weekly

mencement of  the  term  hereof  are  to  be  rendered 
at  a  place  which  can  be  reached  from  the  pro- 
ducer's studio  within  twenty-four  (24)  hours  of 
travel  by  ordinary  means  of  transportation,  then 
and  in  that  event  compensation  shall  not  begin  to 
accrue  to  the  artist  until  the  artist's  first  appear- 
ance before  the  camera  at  such  place ;  provided, 
however,  that  in  any  event  compensation  must 
commence  to  accrue  to  the  artist  not  later  than

are  to  be  rendered  at  a  place  which  cannot  be 
reached  from  the  producer's  studio  within  twenty- 
four  (24)  hours  of  travel  by  ordinary  means  of 
transportation,  then  and  in  that  event  compensation 
shall  (not)  commence  to  accrue  to  the  artist  during

in  the  event  of  such  illness  or  incapacity  the  pro- 
ducer, at  its  option,  may  terminate  this-  employ- 
ment without  further  liability.     A  week  shall  be

tional compensation  for  the  services  rendered  by 
the  artist  on  Sunday,  and  for  this  purpose,  also, 
one  day's  salary  shall  be  one-sixth  (1/6)  of  the

The  Folly  of  Fools! 

(No.  561. — Straight  from  the  Shoulder  Talk  by  Carl  Laemmle, 
President  of  the  Universal  Pictures  Corporation.) 

ARE  SOME  EXHIBITORS  FOOLS? 

MY  ENTIRE  CAREER  HAS  BEEN  BUILT  ON  THE  BELIEF  THAT  EXHIBI- 
tors  are  intelligent  business  men,  desiring  sound  merchandise,  delivered  to  them  on  a 
legitimate  merchandising  basis 

I'VE  NEVER  HAD  MY  CONFIDENCE  SHAKEN.  UNTIL  NOW. 

EVERY  NOW  AND  THEN  ONE  OF  MY  ASSOCIATES  COMES  TO  ME 
with  a  clipping  showing  that  some  exhibitor  has  foisted  on  his  patrons  a  print  of  the 
old  junk  "Uncle  Tom's  Cabin." 

ALL  OF  WHICH  WOULD  INDICATE  THAT  AT  LEAST  SOME -"SOME" 
Isaid-SOME  EXHIBITORS  ARE  FOOLS! 

HOW  UNDER  THE  SUN  ANY  MAN  WITH  A  SINGLE  DIME  INVESTED 
in  the  brick  and  mortar  of  a  theater  or  even  a  store  room  could  tamper  with  that  in- 
vestment by  showing  one  of  these  prints  is  beyond  me! 

THIRTEEN  AND  FOURTEEN  YEARS  OLD  THEY  ARE!  THINK  OF  IT! 
And  think  of  the  agony  of  having  to  sit  through  one  of  these  pictures  yourself,  let  alone 
having  the  infernal  gall — or  idiocy— to  collect  money  from  the  public  for. the  crime! 

WHY  IT  IS  ONLY  TWO  MONTHS  AGO  THAT  ONE  EXHIBITOR  WRIT- 
ing  in  the  Reports  Department  of  Exhibitors  Herald  about  one  of  these  old  prints  said: 

"DON'T  SHOW  THIS  PIECE  OF  JUNK  IF  YOU  WANT  TO  KEEP  YOUR 
HOUSE  OPEN!" 

TOO  BAD  HE  LEARNED  IT  AFTER  THE  DAMAGE. 

TOO  BAD  SOME  OTHER  EXHIBITORS  ARE  ONLY  LEARNING  IT  AFTER 
they  slink  down  the  alley  to  dodge  their  wrathy  patrons. 

BUT  MAYBE  IT  ISN'T  TOO  BAD. 

"NOBODY  IS  TWICE  A  FOOL,"  SAYS  THE  OLD  PROVERB.  AT  LEAST 
these  fellows  have  learned  their  lesson  And  others,  too,  may  profit  by  the  warning. 

MEANWHILE  UNIVERSAL'S  NINETEEN-TWENTY-SEVEN  PRODUCTION, 
of  "Uncle  Tom's  Cabin"  —  staged  at  a  cost  of  close  to  two  million— hailed  by  the  critics 
—sensationally  successful  on  Broadway — such  a  masterpiece  will  not  be  hurt  by  junk 
prints  of  old  pictures,  but  the  exhibitors  who  run  such  junk  surely  must  suffer! 


MY  INVESTMENT  IS  IN  THE  AMERICAN  PUBLIC.  PRETTY  SOLID 
security.

Hays  Organization  in  1927 


(Personnel  of  the  Motion  Picture  Producers  &  Distributors  of  America,  xmth  Names 
of  All  Members,  Appears  on  Page  514.  A  List  of  Film  Boards  of  Trade  Will  Be 
Found  on  Page  525,  While  a  Detailed  Record  of  Arbitration  Board  Activities 
Appears  on  Page  759.) 

ONE  of  the  interesting  developments  of  1927,  insofar  as  the  Motion  Picture  Producers 
and  Distributors  of  America,  Inc.,  is  concerned,  was  an  agreement  entered  upon  in 
December  with  the  Authors'  League  of  America,  and  the  Authors'  Guild  and  Dramat- 
ists' Guild  of  the  Authors'  League,  which  makes  it  possible  for  a  rejected  play  or  book  to 
be  rewritten  so  that  in  its  new  and  ultimate  form  it  will  prove  acceptable  to  producing 
members  of  the  Hays  organization.  The  plan  is  still  too  new  to  ascertain  how  it  will 
work  out.  It  is  hoped  that,  by  this  formula,  hitherto  unsuitable  material  for  picturiza- 
tion  will  become  available  for  the  general  advantage  of  the  public,  the  industry  and  the 
producer. 

This  development  and  other  work  of  the  association  throughout  the  year  are  dis- 
cussed in  the  following  article: 


The  M.  P.  Prod,  and  Dist.  of  America,  Inc.,  with 
Will  H.  Hays  as  president,  concludes  its  sixth 
year  on  March  5th,  1928.  Starting  with  seven 
members,  the  organization  now  includes  27  of  the 
most  important  producing  and  distributing  organ- 
izations in  the  industry.  In  1927,  companies 
elected  to  membership  in  the  Association  were 
United  Artists  Corp.,  Pathe  Exchange,  Inc.,  Chad- 
wick  Prod.,  Inc.,  and  the  Caddo  Co.,  Inc.  Impor- 
tant progress  was  made  by  the  Association  toward 
bringing  about  further  confidence  and  cooperation 
between  the  public,  producers,  distributors  and 
exhibitors. 

A  cooperative  agreement  was  made  between  the 
M.P.P.D.A.  and  the  Authors'  League  of  America, 
the  Authors'  Guild  of  the  Authors'  League  and  the 
Dramatists'  Guild  of  the  Authors'  League,  which 
encourages  writers  of  books  and  plays  to  continue 
to  furnish  and  still  further  to  increase  the  supply 
of  proper  material  for  screen  use;  gives  authors 
adequate  protection  in  negotiating  for  the  sale  of 
their  material ;  further  emphasizes  the  recognition 
of  the  proper  property  rights  of  authors  and  dra- 
matists; and  insures  a  still  greater  quantity  of 
suitable  motion  pictures. 

This  agreed  plan  permits  the  author  of  a  book  or 
play  which  has  been  rejected  as  unsuitable  for  the 
screen,  to  submit  a  new  story  under  a  new  title 
which  in  no  way  suggests  the  old  title,  containing 
all  that  is  suitable  in  the  original  story  and  omit- 
ting all  that  is  unsuitable  for  the  screen.  If  the 
story  is  accepted  and  produced  it  will  be 
advertised  as  an  entirely  new  story  and  will 
not  be  presented  as  an  adaptation  or  a  revised  ver- 
sion of  the  rejected  story.  In  none  of  the  publicity 
or  advertising  will  mention  of  the  rejected  book 
or  play  be  made.  The  production  will  be  a  pic- 
ture made  from  the  new  story  and  it  will  stand 
on  its  own  feet  as  such.  Theaters  will  then 
be  prevented  by  contract  from  misleading  the 
public  by  suggesting  in  any  way  that  the  new 
story  is  related  to  the  book  or  play  which  may 
have  acquired  a  reputation  as  such  but  which 
has  been  considered  unsuitable  as  screen  material. 

This  agreement  was  signed  by  Owen  Davis, 
president,  Authors'  League  of  America ;  George 
Middleton,  president,  Dramatists'  Guild;  Inez 
Haynes  Irwin,  president,  Authors'  Guild,  and  Will 
H.  Hays,  and  was  the  first  step  in  a  plan  whereby 
authors  and  producers  will  work  together  for  the 
further  benefit  of  the  author,  the  industry  and  the 
public. 

Medical  Films  in  Production 

The  first  of  an  important  series  of  medical  films, 
first  proposed  to  the  American  College  of  Surgeons 
by  Will  Hays,  was  completed  by  the  Eastman 
Kodak  Co.,  a  member  of  the  M.P.P.D.A.,  in  co- 
operation with  a  committee  of  the  American  Col- 
lege of   Surgeons   of   which   Hays   was  honorary 


chairman.  The  committee  was  composed  of  Dr. 
J.  Bentley  Squier,  New  York,  Chairman;  Dr.  W. 
W.  Chipman,  President  of  the  American  College 
of  Surgeons,  Montreal ;  Dr.  Franklin  Martin,  Di- 
rector General,  American  College  of  Surgeons, 
Chicago ;  Dr.  Allen  Craig,  Dr.  Bowman  Crowell, 
and  Dr.  Malcolm  McEachern,  Chicago,  Asso- 
ciate Directors  of  the  American  College  of  Sur- 
geons ;  Dr.  C.  H.  Mayo,  Rochester,  Minn. ;  and 
Dr.  George  W.  Crile,  Cleveland.  Before  the  end 
of  1928  a  great  number  of  different  surgical  films 
will  be  in  distribution  and  students  and  doctors 
throughout  the  world  will  be  learning  new  methods 
of  surgery  through  pictures  taken  of  various  op- 
erations by  the  greatest  surgeons. 

Drive  Against  Fake  Stocks 

The  Association  continued  its  active  campaign 
against  fake  moving  picture  schools,  fake  scenario 
schools,  fake  studios,  illegitimate  stock  promotions 
and  untruthful  advertising.  In  this  campaign  it 
has  worked  closely  with  the  Associated  Advertis- 
ing Clubs  of  the  World  and  the  various  Better 
Business  Bureaus. 

Public  Relations  Work  for  "Extras" 

In  Hollywood,  a  department  of  public  relations 
works  closely  with  producers  in  carrying  out  the 
pledge  of  the  Association  "to  establish  and  main- 
tain the  highest  possible  moral  and  artistic  stand- 
ards in  motion  pictures."  A  definite  formula  was 
developed  with  reference  to  the  selection  and  re- 
jection of  certain  story  material  that  might  offend 
and  the  pledges  of  the  producers  are  strictly 
adhered  to.  Much  constructive  work  was  done  in 
the  studios  to  maintain  proper  working  conditions 
for  the  employees  who  are  given  advantages  en- 
joyed in  few,  if  any,  other  industries.  The  Free 
Casting  Bureau  in  Hollywood  continued  its  ef- 
ficient operation  in  the  hiring  of  extras.  In  the 
first  eleven  months  of  1927,  $2,511,361.80  was 
paid  for  306,900  placements — an  average  daily 
placement  of  916  (612  men,  273  women  and  31 
children)   extras  at  an  average  wage  of  $8.18. 

Pedagogue  Films 

Progress  was  made  in  the  development  of  teach- 
ing films  by  members  of  the  Association  and  1928 
will  see  the  use  in  school  of  films  prepared  by 
educational  authorities  that  will  properly  instruct 
the  youth. 

Relations  With  Foreign  Nations 

Through  the  Association's  Foreign  Department 
contacts  have  been  established  with  foreign  am- 
bassadors, legations  and  counsellors  in  this  country 
in  order  that  the  producing  companies  may  be 
well  informed  regarding  customs  and  ideals  of 
foreign  countries  and  that  the  producers'  policy  "to 
offend  no  foreign  nation,  race  or  creed"  may  be 
properly    carried  out. 


349 


Through  contacts  with  American  government 
agencies  abroad,  hundreds  of  reports  are  received 
annually  from  every  part  of  the  world  on  market 
conditions  affecting  American  pictures.  Such  in- 
formation is  promptly  relayed  to  the  foreign  offices 
of  the  member  companies.  This  year  a  special 
field  agent  of  the  Department  of  Commerce  operat- 
ing in  Europe  was  appointed,  whose  sole  object 
is  to  assist  in  maintaining  the  American  industry 
on  a  substantial  footing. 

Aside  from  the  activities  of  the  direct  representa- 
tive of  the  Association  in  Europe,  the  interests 
of  the  industry  have  been  ably  sponsored  at  three 
important  economic  conferences  abroad  this  year 
through  representatives  of  the  Departments  of 
State  and  Commerce.  Treaties  negotiated  be- 
tween the  United  States  and  Poland  and  Venezuela, 
relative  to  copyrights  and  trademarks,  have  been 
largely  instrumental  in  eliminating  damaging  trade 
practices  and  in  providing  adequate  protection  for 
motion  pictures. 

Fire  Prevention;  Conservation 

The  Conservation  Department  further  extended 
its  fire  prevention  activities.  Film  exchanges 
throughout  the  United  States  and  Canada  were 
inspected  regularly.  Conservation-safety  work 
through  the  combined  efforts  of  representatives  of 
the  home  offices  of  the  national  distributing  com- 
panies, branch  managers,  Film  Board  of  Trade 
Secretaries,  State  Fire  Marshals  and  Chiefs  of 
the  Fire  Departments  of  all  the  film  centers,  and 
directed  by  the  Conservation  Department  of  the 
M.P.P.D.A.,  the  year  of  1927  was  passed  with- 
out a  fire  occurring  in  the  film  distributing  end 
of  the  business. 

To  further  reduce  the  fire  hazard  connected  with 
the  handling  of  nitrate  films,  the  Association  as- 
sisted the  national  distributing  companies  to  ob- 
tain fireproof  quarters.  New  film  exchange  build- 
ings were  constructed  in  Detroit,  Seattle,  and 
Vancouver.  Plans  are  now  under  way  to  erect 
new  buildings  in  Chicago,  Pittsburgh  and  New 
York.  An  active  campaign  was  conducted  to  re- 
strict the  use  of  nitrate  film  in  toy  projection 
machines  through  the  cooperation  of  the  National 
Chamber  of  Commerce  Associations.  The  Asso- 
ciation conducted  a  campaign  to  educate  theater 
operators  in  the  careful  handling  of  motion  pic- 
ture film  by  distributing  several  thousand  booklets 
on  "Film  Mutilation,  and  How  To  Prevent  It." 

Mississippi  Flood  Relief 

At  the  suggestion  of  Hays,  the  industry 
gave  prompt  assistance  to  the  Red  Cross  in  con- 
nection with  the  Mississippi  flood  sufferers.  Bene- 
fits held  by  picture  theaters  of  the  country  re- 
sulted in  the  raising  of  $417,212,  which  sum  was 
turned  over  to  the  Red  Cross  officials  for  distribu- 
tion  in   the  devastated  territories. 

The  distributing  companies  contributed  films 
valued  at  more  than  $44,000  for  these  benefit 
shows. 

Contact  With  Foreign  Public 

"The  Motion  Picture,"  the  Association's  maga- 
zine, goes  to  sixteen  countries,  carrying  news  of 
the  progress   being   made   by   motion  pictures. 

Civic  and  Welfare  Groups 

Previews  were  held  frequently  during  the  year 
to  which  were  invited  groups  with  a  particular 
interest  in  the  picture  at  hand.  Such  groups  as 
the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution,  Inter- 
national Federation  of  Cathol.c  Alumnae,  the  staff 
of  "Children,"  a  magazine  for  parents,  "The 
Youth's  Companion,"  the  California  Federation 
of  Women's  Clubs,  the  Church  and  Drama  Assn., 
etc.  etc.,  reviewed  a  large  number  of  pictures 
that  had  special  importance  for  their  constituents. 
As  a  consequence,  such  pictures  as  "Old  Iron- 
sides," "The  Rough  Riders,"  "The  King  of 
Kings,"  "The  Garden  of  Allah,"  "The  Jazz 
Singer,"  "Seventh  Heaven,"  "Hodge  Podge 
Series,"  "Les  Miserables,"  "Chang,"  "Wings," 
"The  Magic  Garden,"  and  "Mother,"  have  gone 


into  distribution  with  the  advance  commendation 
of  national  organizations.  In  some  instances,  these 
same  groups  have  cooperated  in  advance  of  pro- 
duction by  advising  the  studios  on  the  treatment 
of  subject  matter  of  interest  to  them. 

Charity  Aids 

Through  the  cooperation  of  the  newsreels  the 
programs  of  philanthropic  and  welfare  organiza- 
tions have  been  presented  to  picture  audiences. 
Notable  examples  are  the  cooperation  with  the 
American  Red  Cross,  both  in  its  roll  call,  and  in 
its  disaster  relief  service  in  the  Mississippi  and 
New  England  floods. 


An  International  Amity 

Pictures  have  been  compiled  from  material 
available  in  the  libraries  of  member  companies 
and  in  newsreel  libraries  to  further  the  programs 
of  such  organizations  as  the  World  Federation  of 
Education  Associations,  the  National  Education 
Association,  the  Commission  on  World  Friendship 
Among  Children, — sponsored  by  the  Committee  on 
International  Friendship  and  Good-Will. 

Selective  Films  for  Children 

Through  the  recommendations  of  various  organ- 
izations have  been  prepared  lists  of  pictures  suit- 
able for  children's  showings,  religious  services, 
presentation  to  the  family  group,  et  cetera. 

Kiddie  Matinees 

The  Saturday  morning  movie,  in  its  original 
form,  has  been  largely  discontinued,  exhibitor 
groups  have  taken  up  the  program  and  find  ample 
pictures  for  children's  matinees  in  Current  dis- 
tribution. 

Cooperation  with  the  Church  and  Drama  Asso- 
ciation of  the  Federal  Council  of  Churches  has 
been  continued  and  as  a  consequence  the  weekly 
bulletin  commending  plays  and  motion  pictures 
is  reaching  an  increasing  number  of  churches  and 
its  endorsements  are  included  in  many  church 
calendars. 

Films  for  "Shut-Ins" 

Through  its  Department  of  Public  Relations, 
the  Association  has  worked  with  the  Film  Boards 
of  Trade  in  allowing  gratis  films  to  charitable 
institutions  and  hospitals  of  the  United  States. 
Even  the  leper  colonies  of  the  world  have  shared 
in  such  donations.  This,  the  philanthropy  of  the 
industry,  has  become  at  once  a  great  undertaking 
and  satisfaction. 

Developing  Manpower 

Projects  for  the  development  of  manpower  in 
the  industry  are  under  way  at  Columbia  Univer- 
sity, Harvard,  University  of  Southern  California, 
and  elsewhere.  The  subjects  of  study  include  not 
only  the  technique  of  production  but  business  ad- 
ministration and  theater  management  as  well. 

Cooperation  With  Racial  Groups 

Racial  groups  and  groups  solidified  by  similar 
interests  have  been  cooperated  with  in  the  hope 
that  in  their  interests  some  authoritative  contact 
may  be  available  for  obtaining  reaction  to  pictures 
treating  with  them  or  their  interests. 

Constructive  Cooperation  Sought 

The  variety  of  activity  looking  to  the  endorse- 
ment of  pictures  has  included  cooperation  with 
local,  national,  and  international  organizations. 
The  Department  of  Public  Relations  of  this 
Association  welcomes  the  constructive  cooperation 
of  any  person  or  group  having  a  legitimate  interest 
in  motion  picture  matters.

Trade  Commission's  Activities  in  1927 


PRACTICALLY  concluding  its  four  year  case  against  Paramount  Famous-Lasky 
Corp.,  et  al.,  the  Federal  Trade  Commission,  in  July,  1927,  ruled  that  block  booking 
was  illegal.  Three  other  film  cases  occupied  the  attention  of  this  Government  agency 
during  the  past  year.  Aside  from  the  Trade  Practice  Conference,  which  is  discussed 
elsewhere,  the  outstanding  features  were  the  decision  of  the  U.  S.  Supreme  Court  in  the 
Eastman  Kodak  case,  an  action  pending  against  West  Coast  Theaters,  et  al.,  and  an 
investigation  into  alleged  fake  film  stock  schemes.    Each  is  discussed  below: 


The  Paramount  Case 

ANOTHER  chapter  was  written  into  the  history 
of  the  Paramount  Famous-Lasky  case  when 
the  Commission,  on  July  9,  issued  an  order 
finding  Paramount,  and  Adoph  Zukor  and  Jesse 
L.  Lasky,  as  individuals,  guilty  of  conspiracy  to 
restrain  competition,  and  ordered  them  to  abandon 
such  conspiracy,  as  well  as  the  practice  of  block 
booking,  and  prohibited  them  from  acquiring  or 
threatening  to  acquire  theaters  as  a  means  of  in- 
timidating or  coercing  exhibitors  to  book  pictures 
distributed  by  Paramount. 

All  other  charges  in  the  original  complaint  were 
discussed,  and  all  were  dismissed  so  far  as  the 
other  respondents  were  concerned,  the  complaint 
having  named,  in  addition  to  Paramount,  Zukor  and 
Lasky,  the  Realart  Pictures  Corp.,  Stanley  Co.  of 
America,  Stanley  Booking  Corp.,  Black  New  Eng- 
land Theaters,  Inc.,  Southern  Enterprises,  Inc., 
Saenger  Amusement  Co.,  Jules  Mastbaum  (de- 
ceased), Alfred  S.  Black,  Stephen  A.  Lynch  and 
Ernest  V.  Richards,  Jr. 

The  complaint  in  the  case  was  originally  filed 
August  30,  1921,  was  amended  Feb.  14,  1923,  and 
hearings  and  arguments  were  heard,  at  intervals, 
over  the  following  four  years,  something  like  30,000 
pages  of  testimony  finally  being  included  in  the 
record.  Final  arguments  were  heard  in  January, 
1927,  but  it  was  not  until  July  that  the  order  was 
issued. 

The  respondents  were  given  the  usual  30  days 
in  which  to  file  a  report  showing  whether  the 
order  would  be  complied  with,  but  the  time  was 
extended  in  order  that  the  Trade-Practice  Confer- 
ence, held  in  New  York  in  October,  might  register 
its  sentiments  on  block  booking,  the  most  impor- 
tant point  in  the  order.  Following  that  confer- 
ence, Paramount  filed  a  report  with  the  commis- 
sion, expressing  its  willingness  to  comply  with  the 
action  of  the  meeting,  which  had  not  entirely  met 
the  wishes  of  some  members  of  the  Commission. 

Text  of  Paramount  Order 

THE  findings  of  Commissioners  C.  W.  Hunt, 
Chairman ;     Wm.     F.     Humphrey,  Abram 
Myers,  J.  F.  Nugent  and  Edgar  A.  McCul- 
loch,  are  represented  in  the  "cease  and  desist" 
order  filed  against  Paramount  when  the  Commis- 
sion's final  decision  was  made  in  July,  1927. 

The  full  text  of  this  "cease  and  desist"  order 
follows : 

This  proceeding  having  been  heard  by  the  Fed- 
eral Trade  Commission  upon  the  amended  com- 
plaint of  the  Commission,  the  amended  answers  of 
respondents,  the  testimony  and  documentary  evi- 
dence offered  and  received  and  the  arguments  of 
counsel  for  the  respective  parties  herein,  and  the 
Commission  having  made  its  findings  as  to  the  facts 
and  its  conclusion  that  the  respondents  have  vio- 
lated the  provisions  of  an  Act  of  Congress  approved 
Sept.  26.  1914,  entitled  "An  Act  To  Create  a  Fed- 
eral Trade  Commission,  to  define  its  powers  and 
duties,  and  for  other  purposes,"  therefore. 

It  is  now  ordered,  that  respondents,  Adolph 
Zukor,  Jesse  L.  Lasky  and  Famous  Players-Lasky 
Corp.  (Paramount)  and  each  and  all  of  said  re- 


spondents, their  officers,  directors,  agents,  represen- 
tatives and  employees,  cease  and  desist : 

1.  From  continuing  in  force,  recognizing,  com- 
plying with,  carrying  into  effect  or  enforcing,  or 
attempting  to  comply  with,  carry  into  effect  or 
enforce  the  conspiracy  heretofore  made  or  entered 
into  by  and  among  the  respondents  or  any  of  them, 
or  by  and  among  the  respondents  or  any  of  them 
and  any  other  person  or  persons,  for  the  purpose 
of  lessening  and  restraining  competition,  and  re- 
straining trade  or  commerce  among  the  several 
states,  or  with  foreign  nations,  in  the  business  of 
producing,  distributing  and  exhibiting  motion  pic- 
ture films  for  profit  or  the  business  of  producing 
and  distributing  such  films,  and  from  making  or  en- 
tering into  any  like  conspiracy  among  themselves 
or  any  of  them,  or  among  themselves  and  any  other 
person  or  persons,  for  any  of  the  purposes  above 
set  forth  and  enumerated  in  this  paragraph  of 
this  order. 

2.  From  leasing  or  offering  to  lease  for  exhibi- 
tion in  a  theater  or  theaters  motion  picture  films  in 
a  block  or  group  of  two  or  more  films  at  a  des- 
ignated lump  sum  price  for  the  entire  block  or 
group  only  and  requiring  the  exhibitor  to  lease  all 
such  films  or  be  permitted  to  lease  none ;  and  from 
leasing  or  offering  to  lease  for  exhibition  such  mo- 
tion picture  films  in  a  block  or  group  of  two  or 
more  at  a  designated  lump  sum  price  for  the  entire 
block  or  group  and  at  separate  and  several  prices 
for  separate  and  several  films,  or  for  a  number  or 
numbers  thereof  less  the  total  number,  which  total 
or  lump  sum  price  and  separate  and  several  prices 
shall  bear  to  each  other  such  relation  as  to  operate 
as  an  unreasonable  restraint  upon  the  freedom  of 
an  exhibitor  to  select  and  lease  for  use  and  exhibi- 
tion only  such  film  or  films  of  such  block  or  group 
as  he  may  desire  and  prefer  to  procure  for  exhibi- 
tion ;  or  shall  bear  such  relation  to  each  other  as  to 
tend  to  require  an  exhibitor  to  lease  such  entire 
block  or  group  or  forego  to  each  other  that  the 
effect  of  such  proposed  contract  for  the  lease  of  such 
films  may  be  substantially  to  lessen  competition  or 
tend  to  create  a  monoply  in  any  part  of  the  certain 
line  of  commerce  among  the  several  states,  or 
with  foreign  nations,  involved  in  said  proposed 
sale,  to  wit:  the  business  of  the  production,  distri- 
bution and  exhibition  of  motion  picture  films  to  the 
public,  or  the  business  of  production  and  distribu- 
tion, or  of  production  or  distribution  of  motion 
picture  films  for  public  exhibition. 

3.  From  building,  buying,  leasing  or  otherwise 
acquiring,  or  threatening  so  to  do,  any  theater 
building  or  buildings  or  theater  or  theaters,  for  the 
purpose  and  with  the  intent  or  with  the  effect  of 
intimidating  or  coercing  an  exhibitor  or  exhibitors 
of  motion  picture  films  to  lease  or  book  and  exhibit

It  is  further  ordered,  That  so  much  of  the 
charges  in  the  complaint  herein  as  against  the  re- 
spondents, Adolph  Zukor,  Jesse  L.  Lasky  and 
Famous  Players-Lasky  Corporation,  as  are  not  em- 
braced in  the  findings  of  fact  heretofore  made  by 
the  Commission  in  this  cause,  or  in  the  above  and 
foregoing  order  to  cease  and  desist,  be,  and  the 
same  are,  hereby  dismissed. 

By  the  Commission;  Commissioner  Nugent  con- 
curring as  to  paragraphs  1,  2,  3  and  4  hereof  and 
dissenting  as  to  paragraphs  5  and  6  hereof. 

The  Eastman  Kodak  Case 

IN  the  Eastman  case,  it  was  charged  that,  with 
the  purpose,  intention  and  effect  of  stopping  the 
importation  of  foreign-made  film  into  the  United 
States  and  eliminating  competition  offered  by  such 
foreign-made  film,  Eastman  company,  which  manu- 
factures and  sells  96%  of  the  film  sold  in  the 
United  States,  acquired  the  Paragon,  G.-M.  and 
San  Jacq  laboratories,  the  combined  capacity  of 
which  was  equal  to  that  of  all  existing  laboratories 
east  of  Chicago;  that  it  did  not  operate  the  labora- 
tories but  held  them,  fully  equipped,  as  a  threat 
and  means  of  coercing  its  customers,  the  labora- 
tories, into  buying  their  film  exclusively  from  East- 
man; that  as  a  result  Eastman  compelled  the  con- 
sumers of  film  to  enter  into  an  unlawful  agreement, 
combination  and  conspiracy  with  it  to  use  exclu- 
sively American-made  film  to  the  elimination  or 
exclusion  of  imported  foreign-made  film ;  and  in 
consideration  of  the  adherence  to  such  agreement 
by  the  film  consumers,  Eastman  refrained  from 
using  its  three  laboratories,  but  held  them  in  con- 
stant readiness  to  enter  the  business  of  printing 
film  in  competition  with  its  customers ;  and  that  the 
effect  of  the  alleged  unlawful  combination  was  to 
exclude  foreign-made  film  from  the  United  States, 
thus  leaving  Eastman  with  a  virtual  monopoly 
and  in  complete  control  of  the  positive  cinemato- 
graph industry  in  the  United  States. 

An  order  was  issued  April  8,  1924,  directing  the 
dissolution  of  the  combination,  and  requiring  East- 
man to  dispose  of  the  three  laboratories.  Review 
of  the  order  was  secured  by  Eastman  and  five  of 
the  other  17  respondents,  and  in  a  decision  rendered 
May  18,  1925,  the  U.  S.  Circuit  Court  of  Appeals 
for  the  Second  Circuit  affirmed  the  order,  so  far 
as  dissolution  was  concerned,  but  held  invalid  that 
part  directing  the  disposal  of  the  laboratories. 

The  Commission  carried  the  case  to  the  U.  S. 
Supreme  Court,  which,  on  May  31,  1927,  affirmed 
the  decision  of  the  lower  court,  declaring  that  the 
Commission  "had  no  authority  to  require  that  the 
company  divest  itself  of  the  ownership  of  the  lab- 
oratories which  it  had  acquired  prior  to  any  action 
by  the  Commission.  If  the  ownership  and  mainte- 
nance of  these  laboratories  has  produced  any  un- 
lawful status,  the  remedy  must  be  administered  by 
the  cqurts  in  appropriate  proceedings  therein 
instituted." 

The  decision  not  only  disposed  of  the  Eastman 
case,  but  had  a  direct  bearing  upon  other  cases 
pending  before  the  Commission,  including  the  Para- 
mount case,  in  which  the  ownership  of  theaters  was 
originally  one  of  the  questions  incorporated  in  the 
complaint,  since,  the  Commission  itself  admitted,  it 
held  that  the  Commission  is  without  authority 
under  any  circumstances  to  direct  a  divestiture  of 
physical  properties. 


The  West  Coast  Case 

THE  West  Coast  case  is  embodied  in  two  com- 
plaints issued  May  29,  1925,  which  are  being 
prosecuted  more  or  less  jointly.  In  one  case, 
West  Coast  Theaters,  Inc. ;  West  Coast  Theaters, 
Inc.  of  Northern  California;  The  T  &  D  Jr. 
Enterprises,  Inc. ;  Herbert  L.  Rothchild  Entertain- 
ment, Inc.,  and  H.  M.  Turner,  Fred  Dahnken,  C. 
L.  Langley  and  F.  W.  Livingston,  partners  doing 
business  as  Turner,  Dahnken  &  Langley,  are 
named,  and  are  charged  with  having  conspired  to- 
gether for  the  purpose  of  hindering,  restraining 
and  preventing  producers  and  distributors  in  other 
states  from  selling  their  films  to  competitors  of  the 
respondents  and  with  having  made  agreements  as 
to  competition  between  themselves  in  exhibition. 

The  other  complaint  names  West  Coast  Thea- 
ters, Inc.  of  Northern  California ;  Venice  Invest- 
ment Co.,  Hollywood  Theaters,  Inc.;  All  Star 
Feature  Distributors,  Inc. ;  Educational  Film  Ex- 
change, Principal  Pictures  Corp. ;  H.  M.  Turner, 
Fred  Dahnken,  C.  L.  Langley  and  F.  W.  Living- 
ston, partners  doing  business  as  Turner,  Dahnken 
&  Langley ;  and  A.  L.  Gore,  Michael  Gore,  Sol 
Lesser,  Adolph  Ramish  and  Dave  Bershon,  who 
are  charged  with  having  conspired  to  hinder,  re- 
strain and  prevent  outside  producers  or  distribu- 
tors from  leasing  their  films  to  competitors. 

After  a  one-day  hearing,  the  taking  of  testi- 
mony was  abandoned  in  favor  of  preparing  a  stipu- 
lation of  agreed  facts  on  which  the  examiner's  re- 
port would  be  based.  When  the  stipulation  and 
report  came  before  the  commission,  they  were 
bitterly  criticized  and  rejected,  and  the  taking 
of   testimony   was   ordered  resumed. 

In  compliance  with  that  requirement,  testimony 
was  taken  in  Los  Angeles  beginning  May  13,  1927, 
and  running  to  the  end  of  June,  when  the  hearing 
was  moved  to  San  Francisco  for  a  few  days.  A 
one-day  hearing  was  also  held  in  New  York  August 
23.  The  cases  are  now  being  studied  by  the  ex- 
aminer, preparatory  to  the  making  of  a  report  to 
the  Commission  in  1928. 

The  Fake  Stmck  Inquiry 

AROUSED  by  the  steady  increase  in  the  num- 
ber of  fake  promotions  and  the  tremendous 
losses  which  they  annually  cause  the  country, 
the  Federal  Trade  Commission,  early  in  August, 
1927,  ordered  its  experts  to  make  a  thorough  in- 
vestigation of  the  situation,  with  a  view  to  mar- 
shalling arguments  for  State  and  Federal  regulation 
of  stock  promotions. 

While  the  action  of  the  commission  was  predi- 
cated upon  the  large  number  of  fake  oil-company 
promotions  which  had  been  reported  to  it,  repu- 
table companies  in  the  film,  automotive,  aircraft  and 
other  industries  in  which  radical  advancement  were 
being  made  and  which  have  made  fortunes  for 
some  of  their  leaders,  were  finding  it  difficult  to 
raise  funds  for  legitimate  enterprise  in  competition 
with  the  fabulous  rewards  offered  by  the  unscru- 
pulous promotors  of  "blue  sky''  securities.

ONE  of  the  most  interesting  phases  of  the  third  di- 
mension pictures  controlled  by  Tiffany-Stahl  Pro- 
ductions is  the  fact  that  there  will  be  no  installation 
costs  or  expenditures. 

The  patents  and  processes  employed  to  bring  the 
effect  of  depth  upon  the  screen  are  done  with  the  cam- 
era, the  development  of  the  negative  and  the  printing 
of  the  positive.

Work  of  Scenarists  &  Adaptors 


A RECORD  of  the  work  of  scenario  writers  and  adaptors  is  herewith  presented.  The 
compilation  covers  the  three  years  from  January  1,  1925,  to  January  1,  1928.  It 
will  be  noted  that  in  some  instances  dual  credit  is  given  for  one  production.  This,  it 
should  be  understood,  indicates  pictures  upon  which  both  adaptor  and  scenarist  have 
worked.  Every  effort  has  been  made  to  make  the  record  complete;  in  sporadic  cases, 
however,  difficulties  have  been  encountered  because  distributors  failed  to  supply 
complete  data.

Studio  Economy  Pact 


At  a  meeting  held  at  the  Academy  of  Motion  Picture  Arts  &  Sciences  in  Los 
Angeles  on  July  30,  1927,  producers  and  studio  workers  made  an  agreement  to  effect 
needed  economy  in  production.    The  text  of  this  pact  follows: 


Studio  Workers 

ACTORS  pledge  members  to  the  following: 

1.  To  refrain  from  any  display  of  that  unrea- 
sonable or  unnecessary  type  of  temperament  that 
makes  only  for  delay,  expense  and  discomfort 
of  all  concerned. 

2.  To  cooperate  with  producers  and  directors  at 
all  times  by  prompt  and  willing  response  to  all 
calls. 

3.  To  realize  to  the  fullest  extent  the  responsi- 
bility of  their  position,  both  in  the  industry  and 
before  the  public. 

DIRECTORS  pledge  members  to  the  following: 

1.  To  cooperate  to  the  fullest  possible  extent 
with  producers  and  writers  in  preparation  of  stories 
scheduled  for  production  and  to  refrain  from  tak- 
ing an  arbitrary  stand  on  matters  pertaining  to 
stories. 

2.  To  cooperate  to  the  fullest  extent  with  pro- 
ducers, writers  and  technicians  on  the  careful 
planning  of  each  production  to  the  end  that  the 
highest  possible  type  of  entertainment  may  be  pro- 
vided at  a  cost  commensurate  with  box  office 
returns. 

3.  To  refrain  to  as  great  an  extent  as  is  con- 
sistent with  the  best  quality  from  photographing 
scenes  for  which  there  can  be  no  practical  use  or 
need. 

4.  To  refrain  from  photographing  the  same  scene 
an  unnecessary  number  of  times,  and  from  an 
unnecessary  number  of  angles  and  distances. 

5.  That  the  directors  recognize  the  producers' 
problem  as  their  own  problem  and  approach  that 
problem  in  a  sympathetic  manner. 

TECHNICIANS  pledge  members  to  the  follow- 
ing : 

1.  To  bend  every  effort  to  create  the  finest  pos- 
sible production  commensurate  with  pre-determined 

cost. 

2.  To  cooperate  to  the  fullest  extent  with  the 
other  branches  of  the  industry  to  effect  a  maxi- 
mum of  production  economy  without  endangering 
the  entertainment  value  of  the  product. 

3.  To  build,  devise  or  create  nothing  that  does 
not  have  direct  production  value. 

4.  That  we  will  in  every  measure  do  all  within 
our  power  to  foster  and  advance  the  Institute  of 
Research  and  do  all  in  our  power  to  unify  pro- 
duction. 

WRITERS   pledge   members  to  the  following: 

1.  To  complete  treatments  and  scripts  within  a 
reasonable  length  of  time,  and  with  due  regard  to 
schedules. 

2.  To  develop  treatments  and  write  scripts  within 
the  limits  of  length  determined  by  the  require- 
ments of  the  producers. 


Producers 

PRODUCERS  pledge  members  to  the  following: 
1.  To  promote  and  support  an  Institute  of  Re- 
search for  the  following  expressed  purposes : 

A — To  experiment  with  and  perfect  every  con- 
ceivable appliance,  device  or  method  tending  toward 
artistic  or  scientific  improvement  in  the  produc- 
tion and  manufacture  of  motion  pictures. 

B — To  maintain  a  large  research  library  for  the 
benefit  of  all  members  of  the  Academy,  thereby 
facilitating  artistic  and  scientific  inquiry  of  every 
sort  and  thereby  permitting  the  elimination  of  cost- 
ly individual  research  libraries  formerly  maintained 
by  the  various  studios. 

C — In  every  other  way  possible  to  have  available 
at  all  times  scientific  and  technical  information 
fir  members  of  the  Academy  which  will  permit 
them  to  operate  with  efficiency  and  economy. 

2.  To  promote  and  support  a  Central  Clearing 
House  for  the  following  expressed  purposes : 

A — To  receive  and  file  for  the  use  of  any  mem- 
ber of  the  Academy  the  synopsis  of  all  stories, 
novels,  plays  and  other  works  read  by  various  mem- 
bers; thereby  eliminating  the  present  costly  prac- 
tice of  reading  virtually  every  published  work 
independently  in  each  studio.  Members  of  the 
Academy  pledge  themselves  to  file  a  copy  of  the 
synopsis  of  each  literary  work  read  by  them  with 
the  Central  Clearing  House. 

B — To  maintain  and  have  available  at  all  times 
an  up-to-date  list  of  all  the  stories  owned  by  pro- 
ducer members  of  the  Academy  which  they  are 
willing  to  resell,  wtih  a  view  to  lessening  the  ex- 
cessive amount  of  capital  presently  tied  up  in 
literary  material. 

C-^-To  obtain  and  maintain  a  list  of  sets,  me- 
chanical devices  and  other  facilities  in  general  use 
by  all  studios  with  a  view  to  reducing  the  costs. 

And  to  study  further  the  transcript  of  the  con- 
ferences between  representatives  of  the  producers 
and  other  branches  of  the  Academy  and  hold 
future  conferences  in  order  to  obtain  continually 
those  most  constructive  suggestions  which  promise 
to  lower  production  cost  without  lowering  produc- 
tion quality,  and  have  developed  an  awakening  of 
consr-  ence,  a  unity  and  an  esprit  de  corps  that 
should  prove  priceless  to  the  industry. 

In  closing  our  report  let  us  add  that  to  accom- 
plish our  major  purpose,  which  after  all  is  the 
development  of  the  immeasurable  possibilities  of 
the  industry,  we  must  each  one  of  us  pledge  our- 
selves to  a  closer  collaboration,  a  closer  comrade- 
ship. We  must  recognize  that  the  welfare  and 
happiness  of  us  all  will  be  increased  by  such 
collaboration  and  comradeship,  and  we  must  recog- 
nize that  the  Academy  of  M.  P.  Arts  and  Sciences 
provides  the  possibility  of  such  collaboration  and 
comradeship,  etc.,  etc.

If  your  office  is  in  New  York  your  films  stored  in  our  vaults 
gives  you  the  assurance  of  having  your  valuable  motion  picture 
negatives  and  positives  in  the  very  safest  place  in  the  world. 
Storing  with  us  also  relieves  you  of  all  the  petty  details  of  the 
physical  handling  of  hazardous  materials  and  the  consequent  an- 
noyance of  stringent  fire  department  requirements  so  odious  to 
the  busy  executive. 

If  you  are  located  abroad  or  out  of  town  the  storage  of  your 
motion  picture  films  in  our  approved  fire-proof  vaults  at  a  nom- 
inal monthly  storage  charge  gives  you  a  service  for  which  a 
New  York  representative  would  probably  charge  you  an  amount 
equal  in  just  one  week  to  what  you  would  pay  us  in  a  whole  year. 

A  customer's  interests  are  ours  and  the  use  of  our  facilities  ef- 
fects for  him  a  great  annual  saving.  We  handle  for  a  customer 
all  of  the  details  of  a  transaction  and  the  nominal  charge  which 
we  make  is  infinitesimal  as  compared  to  the  cost  of  similar  serv- 
ices thru  other  mediums. 

Our  slogan — "Nothing  too  big  for  us  to  undertake.  Nothing 
too  small  for  us  to  do  in  a  big  way" — Applies  particularly  to 
the  very  great  variety  of  services  which  we  are  constantly  render- 
ing to  our  satisfied  customers  in  all  parts  of  the  world. 

Send  your  film  to  our  warehouse.  Write  us  a  letter  telling 
us  to  whom  to  show  them  or  just  what  to  do  with  them.  Your 
patronage  will  be  greatly  appreciated  and  your  instructins  will 
be  carried  out  in  a  manner  that  will  be  absolutely  to  your  satis- 
faction. We  will  show  your  pictures  to  any  one  or  all  of  the 
buyers  of  American  and  foreign  rights,  and  for  a  nominal  charge 
will  execute  any  kind  of  an  agreement  you  may  require.  To  all 
of  these  services  you  are  entitled  as  a  customer  of

Leaders  See  Prosperity  for  1928 


"DOINTING  out  the  general  forecasts  of  economists  and  Government  officials 
that  prosperity  will  prevail  in  the  United  States  in  1928,  leaders  in  major 
branches  of  the  industry  agree  that  this  year  will  be  a  healthy  one  for  the  motion 
picture  industry.  However,  many  of  them  point  out  that  the  adjustments  which 
must  be  made  are  several  and  important.  Economies  in  production  and  exhibi- 
tion— and  in  the  latter  instance,  the  current  policy  of  presentations  is  referred 
to — must  be  effected,  they  assert.  By  the  very  omission  of  any  discussion  con- 
cerning distribution,  the  inference  is  clear  that  in  this  direction,  wastage  has 
been  largely  eliminated. 

These  views  will  be  found  extremely  interesting.  They  concern  the  domes- 
tic market.  The  situation  abroad  is  discussed  in  the  Foreign  Section,  page  936. 


ADOLPH  ZUKOR 
President,  Paramount  Famous  Lasky  Corp. 

The  moving  picture  industry  has  the  best  of 
reasons  for  optimism  and  confidence  in  approaching 
1928.  I  believe  personally  that  it  will  be  one  of 
our  best  years.  This  prediction  is  made  with  the 
knowledge  of  a  few  dull  spots  in  the  nation-wide 
survey.  An  examination  of  such  data,  however, 
reveals  that  they  are  due  to  purely  local  conditions 
and  may  be  regarded  quite  reasonably  as  breathing 
spells,  after  which  the  tide  of  prosperity  will  re- 
sume with  a  full  sweep.  Reports  from  theater  box- 
offices  throughout  the  country  generally  indicate  a 
sound  and  substantial  condition. 

Two  important  elements  are  the  basis  for  my 
confidence.  One  is  the  prosperity  of  the  country 
and  the  excellent  prospects  for  its  continuance  on 
a  large  and  far-reaching  scale.  The  other  element 
is-  the  condition  and  attitude  of  the  industry  itself, 
which  in  many  ways  seems  to  me  the  best  in  its 
history.  We  are  emerging  from  a  period  of  expan- 
sion. The  last  two  years  have  seen  the  building  of 
many  big  theaters  and  ambitious  production  ven- 
tures have  been  carried  out.  Now  we  are  in  the 
midst  of  the  task  of  gearing  up  the  giant  machin- 
ery to  work  at  its  full  efficiency,  eliminating  waste, 
solidifying  its  internal  structure.  Already  there 
has  been  encouraging  progress  and  this  undoubt- 
edly will  be  carried  out  much  more  fully  during  the 
new  year.  This  new  spirit  and  attitude  should 
produce  a  better  product,  a  smoother  functioning  of 
the  business  organization  and  a  more  economical 
operation.  So,  because  of  the  nation's  prosperity 
and  a  better  temper  within  the  industry,  I  look  for 
a  big  year  to  come. 

*         *  * 

JOSEPH  M.  SCHENCK 
President,  United  Artists  Corp. 
The  new  year  should  mean  greater  prosperity 
for  the  motion  picture  industry  because  economists 
and  public  men  of  authority  have  prophesied  greater 
prosperity  for  the  entire  country.  My  only  ap- 
prehension as  far  as  pictures  are  concerned,  is  due 
to  the  short-sighted  policy  of  our  exhibitors  in 
building  theaters  of  5,000  and  6,000  seating  capac 
ity.  To  keep  those  theaters  full  the  owners  deem 
it  necessary  to  put  in  a  big,  diversified  entertain- 
ment, consisting  of  vaudeville  with  a  background 
of  splashy  sets  and  crowds  of  supers,  or  chorus 
girls. 

In  carefully  analyzing  the  effect  of  this  policy 
on  picture  producing,  you  can  readily  see  that  in 
a  theater  of  5,000  seating  capacity,  where  they  take 
in  as  much  as  $75,000  and  $80,000  a  week,  playing 
to  about  150,000  people,  they  spend  about  $65,000 
for  overhead  and  vaudeville  entertainment,  leaving 
but  $10,000  for  a  picture,  and  if  they  do  pay  the 
$10,000  they  don't  make  any  profit  that  week.  At 
the  same  time,  they  exhaust  150,000  people,  most 
of  whom  would  go  to  see  the  same  picture  if  it 


played  in  a  2,000  capacity  theater  without  any 
vaudeville  embellishment,  and  the  picture,  under 
those  circumstances,  in  three  or  four  weeks,  would 
receive  a  flat  rental  of  about  $25,000. 

It  is  absolutely  essential  for  the  producer  to 
receive  the  highest  possible  returns  in  rentals  from 
theaters  for  his  picture,  to  enable  him  to  remain  in 
business,  and  if,  through  an  ill-advised  policy,  the 
exhibitor  squanders  a  lot  of  money  in  the  manage- 
ment of  his  theater,  the  producer  suffers  more  than 
anyone  else  suffers. 

The  feature  picture  is  responsible  for  the  pro- 
vision of  necessary  money  to  build  these  palatial 
theaters.  The  public  who  owns,  through  stock 
subscriptions,  most — in  fact,  all  of  those  theaters — 
bought  the  stock  on  the  strength  of  the  theater 
being  a  picture  theater  and,  in  my  opinion,  faith 
has  not  been  kept  with  the  public,  as  they  turn 
these  theaters  into  vaudeville  houses. 

*  *  * 

WILLIAM  FOX 
President,  Fox  Film  Corp. 
There  is  a  clear  indication  that  the  patrontage  of 
the  motion  picture  theater  is  increasing  each  year. 
I  look  forward  to  an  even  greater  increase  for  the 
year  1928,  for  the  following  three  reasons: 

1.  The  added  accommodations  by  way  of  new 
and  magnificent  theaters  that  have  been  com- 
pleted during  the  year  1927,  which  will  have 
a  tendency  to  attract  those  who  have  not 
been  up  to  the  present  time  regular  patrons 
of  the  motion  picture  theaters. 

2.  The  progressive  strides  made  by  the  majority 
of  the  producers  in  making  better  and  finer 
motion  pictures. 

3.  A  large,  new  patronage  will  be  attracted  by 
Movietone,  which,  in  our  opinion,  will  greatly 
enhance  the  value  of  motion  picture  theater 
entertainment.

It  is  only  human  nature  for  any  man's  forecast 
of  a  coming  year  to  be  colored  by  his  own  desires 
in  respect  to  that  year.  So  supposing  I  frankly 
discard  the  thought  of  attempting  to  pose  as  a 
prophet,  and  instead  state  a  few  developments  that 
I  would  like  to  see  come  true  during  1928. 

1.  A  stronger  effort  on  the  part  of  all  producers  to 
keep  pictures,  with  the  exception  of  productions  of 
road  show  caliber,  closer  to  the  6,000  ft.  length,  or 
less.  Most  pictures  are  too  long.  It  is  obvious 
that  something  radical  must  be  done  about  the 
short  product.  The  market  is  cluttered  now.  Qual- 
ity productions  are  in  very  keen  competition  with 
short  product  which  is  merely  made  to  sell  at  a 
price.  The  right  type  and  quality  of  short  product 
is  absolutely  necessary  to  give  exhibitors  the  vari- 
ety of  appeal  on  which  success  of  their  show 
depends.

2.  I  would  like  to  see  moves  on  the  part  of  all 
companies  to  cut  down  the  number  of  productions. 
With  fewer  pictures  demanding  our  attention  we 
will  make  better  pictures.  The  present  high  speed 
momentum  certainly  tends  to  hamper  efficiency  and 
affect  quality.  Greater  revenue  per  dollar  invested 
will  return  to  both  producer  and  exhibitor  from 
fewer  pictures — better  made. 

3.  There  should  be  a  stop  to  the  tendency 
toward  vulgarity  in  picture  incident.  We  are  head- 
ing for  trouble.  Censorship  is  already  costing  the 
industry  heavily  in  money,  and  even  more  heavily 
in  the  curb  it  puts  on  creative  talent.  We  can 
hope  for  eventual  relief  from  censorship  only  by 
sincere  cooperation  with  the  forces  of  public  opin- 
ion that  have  been  responsible  for  its  creation.

Pictures-  will  mean  more  than  personalities  on 
the  screen  of  1928.  The  personality  of  itself  will 
not  draw.  The  good  picture  even  lacking  con- 
spicuous personality  will  be  an  absolute  success, 
whilst  the  picture  not  so  good,  even  if  it  has 
a  great  name  or  names  to  further  it,  will  not  do 
half  so  well.  Nineteen  hundred  twenty-eight  will 
offer  an  especially  great  chance  for  the  new  pic- 
ture personality  and  for  the  writer  and  director.

CLIFFORD  B.  HAW  LEY 

President,    First   Nat'l   Pictures,  Inc. 

I  believe  that  the  recent  Trade  Conference  was 
one  of  the  most  important  events  in  the  history 
of  the  motion  picture  business,  not  so  much, 
perhaps,  in  what  was  actually  accomplished  as  in 
its  indication  of  what  will  be  accomplished.  This 
conference  pointed  the  way  to  a  closer  union  of 
all  branches  of  this  great  industry.  It  showed 
the  value  of  getting  together  for  a  frank  discus- 
sion of  the  problems  which  we  must  solve. 

During  the  coming  year  I  look  for  substantial 
progress  in  the  solution  of  trade  difficulties  which 
after  all.  should  not  be  unduly  magnified.  As  a 
better  understanding  is  realized  among  producers, 
distributors  and  exhibitors  in  the  domestic  field, 
we  may  look  for  the  spread  of  cordial  relations 
with  our  friends  in  foreign  countries.  I  think 
we  are  all  getting  more  of  what  we  may  term  the 
"international"  viewpoint  in  the  making  of  pic- 
tures and  in  their  marketing.  As  we  become  more 
"international"  audiences  will  receive  fresh  inspira- 
tion from  the  art  of  foreign  countries.  We  will 
steer  clear  of  the  rut  of  provincialism  and  realize 
new  and  momentous  accomplishments.  I  believe 
that  the  year  1928  will  go  far  towards  establishing 
this  "international"  era  to  which  I  refer.

NICHOLAS  M.  SCHENCK 

President,  Loew's,  Inc.,  &  M-G-M  Corp. 
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer  enters  the  new  year  with 
a  feeling  of  confidence,  not  only  in  its  own  prod- 
uct, but  in  the  general  conditions  affecting  all 
members  of  the  industry.  To  prophesy  progress  in 
the  motion  picture  art  and  business  for  the  new 
year  is  to  forecast  something  which  is  as1  inevitable 
as  the  change  of  the  seasons.  Of  course,  improve- 
ment in  product  and  method  are  not  always  sure 
indications  of  commercial  prosperity.  But  there  are 
other  signs  which  forecast  a  year  of  great  mone- 
tary success  for  everyone  concerned  in  the  pic- 
ture business.  Not  only  do  all  the  leading  bank- 
eers  and  financial  experts  of  America  herald  the 
year  1928  as  a  year  of  plenty,  but  all  reports  from 
exhibitors  and  from  other  film  merchandising 
sources  also  point  to  a  new  year  of  unparalleled 
prosperity. 

Speaking  as  a  showman,  I  can  safely  say  that 
never  before  have  I  seen  motion  pictures  so  con- 
sistently designed  to  serve  as  universal  entertain- 
ment. Few  theaters  will  be  able  to  report  in  the 
coming  year  that  such-and-such  a  picture  did  not 
please  its  patrons.  For  popular  appeal  and  simple 
and  human  themes,  handled  in  a  big  way,  will  be 
the  general  characteristics  of  the  photoplay  of  1928. 

Look  forward  to  excellent  business.  Never  be- 
fore have  theater  men  and  producers  been  in  such 
close  and  profitable  alliance  as  they  will  be  during 
the  coming  year. 


EARLE  W.  HAMMONS 
President ,  Educational  Pictures 
Believing  firmly  in  the  truth  of  the  adage  that, 
"It  is  darkest  just  before  the  dawn,"  I  believe  the 
outlook  for  the  motion  picture  industry  in  1928  is 
good.  There  is,  as  I  see  it,  only  one  important 
issue  that  is  holding  up  the  progress  of  the  screen, 
and  that  is  the  '"presentation"  craze.  And  I  feel 
sure  that  the  year  1928  will  see  a  pronounced  re- 
action against  this  and  a  return  to  the  serious 
treatment  which  films  deserve  from  exhibitors.  It 
is  possible  that  there  may  be  a  still  further  growth 
of  the  use  of  vaudeville  as  "presentations"  for  a 
while.  But  the  darker  it  gets  the  surer  is  the  dawn 
to  break.  And  with  the  financial  showings  being 
made  now  through  the  too  expensive  use  of  "pres- 
entations" as  opposed  to  pictures,  the  continued 
spreading  of  this  craze  would  only  seem  to  make 
the  reaction  surer  and  more  pronounced  when  it 
comes. 

Herein  lies  the  brightest  side  of  the  outlook  for 
the  future.  When  exhibitors  stop  relegating  films 
to  a  position  of  decided  inferiority  on  their  pro- 
grams, and  devote  to  the  cost  of  films  a  fair  portion 
of  the  large  sums  of  money  they  are  putting  into 
vaudeville,  picture  production  will  immediately  take 
a  great  leap  forward.  This  is  true  of  pictures  of 
all  kinds,  long  features  as  well  as  short  features. 
And  the  increased  prosperity  will  be  felt  at  once 
all  through  the  business,  from  studio  to  theater.

JESSE  L.  LASKY 

1st  Vice  President.  Paramount  Famous  Lasky  Corp. 

In  considering  the  future  of  the  motion  picture 
business  I  am  always  an  optimist,  and  I  am  par- 
ticularly optimistic  over  the  prospects  of  the  in- 
dustry during  the  coming  year.  I  think,  however, 
that  our  greatest  progress  in  the  next  12  months 
will  come  from  consol.dation  of  our  positions.  By 
that  I  mean  that  during  the  last  two  years  we  all 
have  been  expanding  at  an  enormous  rate,  both  in 
production  and  exhibition.  Now  we  must  devote 
our  attention  to  settling  down,  to  strengthening  the 
place  we  have,  to  the  elimination  of  waste  and  in- 
efficiency. Therefore,  I  feel  that  during  1928  we 
shall  make  great  strides  forward,  but  that  progress 
will  be  made  by  keener  thinking,  by  tightening  up 
of  organizations  and  by  the  most  bitter  unremitting 
warfare  against  waste,  incompetence  and  unpro- 
ductiveness. 

Great  progress  along  this  line  has  already  been 
made  in  production.  While  raising  the  standards 
of  pictures',  we  have  nevertheless  reduced  waste  to 
a  minimum.  A  greater  percentage  of  every  dollar 
spent  in  the  studios  is  finding  its  way  to  the  screen 
in  entertainment  value  than  ever  before  in  the  his- 
tory of  this  business.  And  we  are  getting  better 
pictures.  But  we  must  not  stop  there.  Not  only 
have  the  studios  been  guilty  of  extravagance,  but 
incompetency  and  the  frittering  away  of  resources 
Other  branches  of  our  industry  must  get  down  to 
a  hard-shell,  common-sense  basis  of  operating,  be- 
cause it  profits  nobody  to  save  a  dollar  in  produc- 
tion and  then  throw  it  away  in  some  other  branch 
of  the  industry. 

I  have  confidence,  however,  that  in  coming  year 
all  branches  of  the  industry — production,  distribu- 
tion, exhibition — by  giving  each  other's  problems 
careful  study  will  march  forward  to  a  greater  pros- 
perity than  this  business  has  ever  seen.

ELMER  R.  PEARSON 

1st  Vice  President,  Pathe  Exchange,  Inc. 

I  cannot  remember  any  New  Year  which  has 
dawned  with  brighter  prospects  for  the  industry 
than  does  1928.  I  have  no  wish  to  seem  unduly 
optimistic,  but  I  firmly  believe  that,  notwithstand- 
ing the  great  strides  that  the  industry  has  made 
in  the  past  few  years,  they  will  be  dwarfed  by 
those  to  come  in  the  near  future.  I  do  not  base 
my  opinons  on  any  one  factor,  but  rather  on  a 
series  of  developments  which  have  come  under  my 
observation  within  the  past  few  months,  and  which 
are  not  confined  to  any  one  organization,  but 
seem  to  be  general  throughout  the  entire  business. 

Recently  I  have  made  two  trips  to  Hollywood. 
The  change  in  the  production  centre  which  most

impressed  me,  and  which  cannot  fail  to  make  for 
the  betterment  of  the  entire  industry,  is  the  spirit 
of  economy  and  efficiency  which  is  evident  on 
every  hand.  The  business  is  acquiring  common 
sense.  Efficient  and  economie  methods  are  being 
installed  in  every  studio,  and  the  quality  of  the 
personnel  is  receiving  the  same  careful  attention 
as  the  quality  of  the  product.  New  and  keen 
minds,  and  new  and  novel  ideas,  are  being  ac- 
quired. All  this  creates  a  remarkably  hopeful 
condition. 

In  other  branches  of  the  industry — distribution 
and  exhibition — a  wonderfully  encouraging  sign  is 
the  crystallization  of  the  view  that  picture  theaters 
should  be  for  the  showing  of  motion  pictures. 
This  is  of  the  utmost  importance,  because  it  means 
that  if  the  exhibitors  will  do  away  with  the  ex- 
pensive presentations,  which  are  now  the  vogue, 
they  will  be  able  to  pay  better  rentals  for  film. 
This,  in  turn,  will  make  it  possible  for  producers 
to  make  better  pictures. 

I  firmly  believe  that  before  the  end  of  1928 
the  motion  picture  industry  will  see  many  of  its 
present  problems  solved  and  will  be  in  a  far  better 
position,  both  artistically  and  economically,  than 
it  ever  has  been.

LOUIS  B.  MAYER 
Vice  President  in  Charge  of  Production, 
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer  Corp. 

Nineteen  twenty-eight's  demands  on  the  indus- 
try are  going  to  be  even  more  exacting  than  the 
demands  of  the  past  year  for  the  reason  that  the 
art  of  picture  making  is  going  through  a  process 
of  evolution  which  is  educating  its  audiences  to 
expect  more  and  more  each  year  from  the  screen. 
The  business  has  reached  a  place  today  where  it 
stands  on  a  solid  foundation. 

To  put  motion  pictures  into  what  are  generally 
regarded  as  the  fine  arts,  we  are  fostering  a  sp  rit 
of  originality  which  should  bear  its  finest  fruits 
during  the  1928  season.  It  has  only  been  within 
the  last  few  years  that  producers,  no  matter  how 
much  they  wanted  new  screen  faces,  dared  entrust 
the  well  being  of  a  costly  production  to  artists  and 
directors  hitherto  unknown  and  untried. 

Because  the  veterans  of  the  industry  both  in  the 
acting  and  directorial  departments  were  too  few 
to  longer  carry  the  burden,  M-G-M  during  the 
past  year  has  offered  such  a  continual  procession 
of  new  talent  to  the  screen  and  has  learned  that 
one  or  two  roles  exceeding  well  portrayed  are  now 
sufficient  to  establish  a  player  in  the  hearts  of  the 
public  where  formerly  it  took  years  of  exploitation. 
This  willingness  and  desire  of  the  public  to  accept 
and  praise  the  new  originality  in  motion  pictures 
is,  in  my  mind,  the  best  criterion  we  could  possibly 
expect  for  the  successful  future  of  the  industry.

RICHARD   A.  ROWLAND 
Vice  President,  General  and  Production  Manager, 
First  National  Pictures,  Inc. 

The  stabilizing  influences  which  have  been  work- 
ing toward  the  betterment  of  the  business  during 
the  past  year  will  result  in  a  still  healthier  con- 
dition during  the  coming  season.  I  say  this  after 
a  thorough  study  of  producing  conditions  in  Holly- 
wood. The  unit  system  of  production,  which  I 
have  advocated  for  a  long  time,  is  working  out 
admirably.  It  permits  both  producer  and  director 
to  give  their  undivided  attention  to  one  picture 
at  a  time.  It  also  allows  a  personal  touch  so  neces- 
sary to  a  picture  and  simplifies  studio  production 
problems.    I  look  for  the  spread  of  the  system. 

I  foresee  the  return  to  normalcy  in  the  exhibiting 
field  with  exhibitors  gradually  cutting  down  their 
expensive  stage  programs  and  once  more  concentrat- 
ing on  pictures  of  genuine  feature  proportions.  With 
more  of  the  right  sort  of  pictures.  I  feel  that  exhib- 
itors will  come  to  realize  that  they  do  not  need 
to  depend  upon  extraneous  entertainment  in  order 
to  hold  public  patronage. 

In  the  exhibition  field  I  think  a  word  of  caution 
is  necessary  on  the  rapid  acquisition  of  theater  cir- 
cuits by  the  various  picture  companies.  During 
the  past  four  years  we  have  been  going  along  pell- 
mell  with  large  earnings.  Prosperity  has  been 
well  above  the  average,  but  these  times  cannot 


last  forever  and,  with  the  inevitable  drop,  the  earn- 
ings of  these  theaters  are  apt  to  be  affected.  Ex- 
perience has  shown  that  when  times  are  bad  thea- 
ter circuits  have  quite  a  struggle  and  a  healthy 
surplus  would  come  in  handy.

SIDNEY  R.  KENT 
General  Manager,  Paramount  Famous  Lasky  Corp. 

The  year  1928  will  bring  a  new  order  of  coopera- 
tion based  on  the  necessity  of  solving  the  prob- 
lems which  face  the  various  phases  of  the  industry. 
Properly  to  approach  the  solution  of  these  ques- 
tions, which  are  manifold  and  pressing,  we  must 
school  ourselves  to  look  upon  the  industry  as  a 
whole.  No  longer  can  the  producer  think  that  the 
problems  of  the  studio  are  the  only  ones  crying  for 
solution.  No  longer  can  the  distributor  wrap  him- 
self up  in  sales  to  the  exclusion  of  all  else.  And 
no  longer  can  the  exhibitor,  engrossed  in  his  own 
affairs,  ignore  the  problems  of  the  others.  The 
Trade  Practices  Conference  held  by  the  Federal 
Trade  Commission  was  a  revelation  in  this  respect. 
It  showed  all  branches  of  the  industry  that  only 
by  getting  together  and  offering  each  other  help 
in  a  spirit  of  good  faith  could  the  economic  prob- 
lems facing  the  picture  industry  reach  a  solution. 

Moreover,  it  revealed  to  everybody  the  tremen- 
dous factor  which  the  public  has  become  in  gov- 
erning the  growth  of  the  picture  business.  From 
a  triangle,  made  up  by  producer,  distributor,  ex- 
hibitor, the  picture  business  has  suddenly  been  re- 
vealed as  a  square,  with  the  public  occupying  a 
fourth  and  equal  side.  And  in  the  development  of 
our  business  the  public  must  be  taken  into  consid- 
eration. I  have  every  confidence  that  this  coopera- 
tion from  all  four  sides  will  develop  during  the 
coming  year.  Economic  necessity,  for  one  thing, 
will  force  it.  And  through  that  cooperation, 
through  closer  and  more  intelligent  study  of  our 
problems,  will  come  a  healthier,  better  industry.

WINF1ELD  R.  SHEEHAN 
Vice  President  and  Gen'l  M'g'r,  Fox  Film  Corp. 

I  predict  that  the  Movietone  will  revolutionize 
the  operation  of  the  smaller  theaters,  which  are  the 
backbone  of  the  exhibiting  field.  The  talking  news- 
reel  we  are  releasing  weekly.  We  will  soon  be 
able  to  install  Movietone  equipment  at  a  price  so 
small  that  every  theater  not  only  can  afford  it,  but 
they  cannot  afford  to  be  without  it.  In  big  cities 
we  are  building  theaters  of  the  type  of  the  Roxy 
in  New  York,  and  our  principal  aim  and  ambition 
during  1928  will  be  to  produce  pictures  of  a  char- 
acter demanded  by  these  great  theaters. 

We  have  set  aside  $12,000,000  for  our  produc- 
tion budget  for  the  next  12  months.  Production 
plans  for  the  next  five  years  are  in  the  making. 
We  view  the  new  year  with  enthusiastic  expec- 
tation.

HAROLD  B.  FRANKLIN 
President,   West  Coast   Theaters,  Inc. 

The  outlook  of  the  industry  for  the  year  1928  is 
promisingly  important.  The  progress  during  the 
past  year  has  brought  about  a  further  stabilization 
of  the  industry.  Business  methods  in  theater  op- 
eration have  made  a  great  advance  during  the  past 
year,  and  the  theater  that  is  to  retain  its  place  in 
the  front  ranks  must  modernize  its  methods  and 
keep  pace  with  the  trend  of  events.  The  satura- 
tion point  in  new  theater  building  has  been  reached 
in  many  points  throughout  the  country.  It  there- 
fore behooves  all  intending  investors  to  consider 
well  the  risk  of  being  caught  in  the  maelstrom  of 
overbuilding  activities  which,  if  allowed  to  go  on 
unchecked,  would  result  disastrously. 

There  is  today  a  closer  co-operation  between  the 
various  interests  of  the  industry,  which  in  itself  is 
a  sign  of  constructive  progress.  This  spirit  of  co- 
operation will  result  in  unified  industry  and  will 
make  possible  the  elimination  of  waste.  The  new 
year  will  in  all  likelihood  show  great  progress  in 
the  synchronization  of  motion  pictures  and  sound, 
and  every  important  company  will  probably  be 
engaged  in  the  making  of  pictures  with  sound  pro-

SAMUEL  SPRING 

Vice  Pres.  in  Charge  of  Finances  and  Treas., 
First   National   Pictures,  Inc. 

Each  year  in  the  picture  industry  the  coming 
year,  like  those  in  the  past,  brings  with  it  the 
promise  of  an  advanced  position  and  greater  pros- 
perity in  our  industry;  it  also  brings  into  higher 
light  the  problems  that  we  have  all  been  familiar 
with  in  the  past,  the  solution  of  which  is  essential 
to  security  and  stability. 

The  problems  before  us  can  be  solved  only  by 
cooperative  effort  on  the  part  of  all  the  companies 
and  those  related  to  the  industry.  The  coopera- 
tion of  the  trade  press,  accessory  manufacturers  and 
others  in  collateral  lines,  is  well  nigh  as  important 
as  that  between  producers,  distributors  and  exhibit- 
ors. Slowly  but  steadily  the  picture  business  is 
eliminating  waste,  harmful  competition  and  destruc- 
tive distrust  arising  from  unfair  methods  of  busi- 
ness. With  the  establishment  of  greater  confidence 
between  all  engaged  in  the  industry  and  a  more 
intelligent  understanding  of  the  problems  confront- 
ing us  all,  1  am  confident  that  we  shall  advance 
closer  toward  the  common  need — greater  profits. 
In  the  last  analysis,  the  stability  and  the  future  of 
any  industry  depends  upon  profits  which  not  only 
give  a  greater  return  to  those  engaged  in  it,  includ- 
ing stockholders,  but  also  supply  the  fresh  capital 
needed  for  expansion.  Unfortunately,  the  picture 
business  has  not  given  as  great  a  return  on  the 
capital  invested  in  the  past  years,  despite  its  wide 
public  support  and  interest,  as  have  other  indus- 
tries. By  the  elimination  of  waste  and  more  in- 
telligent competition,  I  am  sure  we  will  draw 
closer  to  the  financial  stability  of  other  industries 
by  establishing  greater  profits,  and  it  is  not  merely 
size,  but  stability  and  financial  security  that  make 
an  industry  great. 

Our  industry  always  will  need,  before  all  else, 
more  entertaining,  novel  and  interest-arousing  pic- 
tures. But  we  must  not  overlook  cooperation, 
better  mutual  understanding  and  trust,  and  the  in- 
telligent elimination  of  waste.  Those  two  combined 
will  result  in  greater  profits,  which  in  turn  spells 
stability,  strength  and  success.

President,  Bowery  and  East  River  Nat'l  Bank 
Economists  and  important  Government  officials 
see  no  diminution  in  general  prosperity  in  the 
United  States  for  1928.  In  the  conduct  of  general 
business,  signs  are  not  lacking  that  a  saneness 
in  management  and  an  economy  in  operation  are 
asserting  themselves  to  the  end  that  a  greater 
profit  may  be  returned  from  investment.  In  the 
motion  picture  industry,  it  will  be  agreed  generally, 
no  doubt,  that  the  sphere  for  improvement  along 
these  lines  is  considerable. 

Nineteen  twenty-eight  in  the  picture  business, 
will  be  a  period  of  further  adjustment  in  all  three 
major  branches.  From  the  steps  which  are  sure 
to  be  taken,  the  industry  at  large  may  look  for 
a  more  firmly  knit  entity.  As  an  investment 
field,  the  opportunities  will  continue  to  be  fruit- 
ful, provided — and  this  is  important — new  financ- 
ing is  wrung  dry  of  watered  stock.  If  this  is 
not  done,  the  faith  of  the  investing  public  is  fore- 
doomed to  a  sad  upheaval  and  such  a  condition 
would  present  serious  complications  for  any  in- 
dustry.

SAM  KATZ 
President,  Publix  Theaters  Corp. 
With  the  whole  motion  picture  industry  on  a 
firmer  basis  than  a  year  ago,  due  to  economies  and 
readjustments  where  they  had  been  most  needed,  I 
look  forward  to  1928  with  the  utmost  confidence. 
As  an  exhibitor.  I  base  my  hopes  for  the  imme- 
diate future,  and  for  many  months  to  come,  upon 
the  truly  remarkable  line-up  of  pictures  promised 
to  us  by  the  studios.  A  score  or  more  of  these 
productions  have  already  been  finished — in  some 


cases  they  have  been  actually  tested  before  audi- 
ences-— and  there  is  no  doubt  of  their  certain  box- 
office  value.  On  my  recent  visit  to  the  studios  on 
the  West  Coast  I  was  deeply  impressed  by  the 
thorough-going  efficiency  of  the  producing  organiza- 
tions since  the  drastic  readjustments  made  during 
the  past  year.  The  results  of  these  readjustments 
have  already  been  felt  all  along  the  line  and  have 
been  reflected  at  the  theater  box-offices.  The  as- 
cendancy of  the  motion  picture,  which  for  some 
time  past  has  been  seriously  threatened,  seems  to 
have  been  definitely  safeguarded  through  corrective 
measures  taken  at  the  very  source — a  condition 
which  is  bound  to  stimulate  the  confidence  of  the 
exhibitor,  whether  he  be  operating  a  theater  of  the 
so-called  de  luxe  type,  with  all  the  usual  musical 
and  stage  embellishments,  or  one  which  offers  film 
entertainment  exclusively.

HARRY  M.  WARNER 
President,  Warner  Bros.  Pictures 
The  year  1928  will  see  such  an  improvement  in 
motion  pictures,  due  to  the  strides  being  made  by 
Vitaphone  and  Movietone,  that  theater  owners  and 
the  public  throughout  the  world  will  reap  inesti- 
mable benefit.

AL  LICHTMAN 
Vice  Pres.  and  Gen'l  M'g'r.,  United  Artists  Corp. 

Pictures  in  picture  houses  is  my  forecast  for  1928. 
It  was  the  nickels  and  dimes  paid  by  millions  of 
people  to  see  motion  pictures  which  made  this 
industry  the  fourth  largest  one  in  America, — not 
vaudeville  and  costly  prologues.  The  best  answer 
to  those  who  outdo  each  other  in  subordinating  the 
picture  to  dancers,  jazz  bands  and  acrobats  is  to 
be  found  in  the  business  done  by  the  Rialto  and 
the  Rivoli,  United  Artists-Publix  theaters  on 
Broadway.  People  can  kid  themselves  if  they  like, 
but  the  movies  wouldn't  be  where  they  are  today 
if  this  country, — and  all  the  civilized  countries 
where  a  shack  can  be  turned  into  an  exchange. — 
were  not  full  of  men  and  women  who  believe  the 
picture's  the  thing. 

Looking  that  fact  and  a  lot  of  others  in  the  face 
is  going  to  work  for  greater  understanding  between 
supposedly  opposite  factors  in  pictures.  The  Fed- 
eral Trade  Commission  hearings  made  exhibitors 
understand  for  the  first  time  that  producers  and 
distributors  have  problems ;  and  it  certainly  must 
have  opened  the  eyes  of  many  producers  to  prob- 
lems of  exhibitors.  It's  trade  suicide  for  these  fac- 
tors not  to  recognize  each  other's  problems,  be- 
cause each  is  dependent  on  the  other.  And  because 
of  this  knowledge,  now  quite  general,  and  the 
Trade  Commission  hearings,  I  think  1928  will  see 
greater  harmony.  After  all,  when  you  know  the 
other  guy's  troubles  and  he  knows  yours,  you  get 
along  like  any  two  people  with  a  common  objec- 
tive; more  people  in  picture  houses,  more  often.

JOHN  C.  FLINN 

Vice  President,  Pathe  Exchange,  Inc. 
Give  the  showman  pictures  he  can  advertise, 
and  he  will  give  his  patrons  something  they  will 
fall  over  themselves  to  buy.  The  past  season  has 
seen  a  dozen  or  more  outstanding  and  unique  en- 
tertainments which  have  been  big  box-office  attrac- 
tions, yet  produced  economically  and  not  carrying 
the  load  of  over-expensive  players  nor  fictitiously 
valued  stories.  Give  a  showman  something  about 
which  he  can  write  an  advertisement,  or  exploit 
with  a  street  parade,  or  to  which  he  can  attract 
attention  by  a  lobby  display,  and  nine  times  out  of 
ten  you  will  have  an  entertainment  which  will  draw 
the  pub'ic.  Box-office  values  consist  of  the  proper 
proportion  of  thrills  and  laughs,  and  there  never 
has  been  a  combination  of  these  two  elements 
that  a  smart  theater  man  cannot  translate  into 
terms  of  electric  lights,  billboards,  newspaper  copy 
or  ballyhoo.  When  a  picture  is  so  fine  that  there 
is  nothing  in  it  to  advertise,  compelling  the  the- 
ater manager  to  keep  his  attraction  a  secret  from 
his  patrons,  then  there  is  bound  to  be  bad  business. 
The  picture  business  has  had  plenty  of  such  at- 
tractions.   Another  year  will  see  fewer  of  them.

SAMUEL  GOLDli'YN 

The  irritation  of  the  picture  going  public  aga  nst 
"presentations"  will  reach  a  head  in  1928.  We 
shall  see  a  definite  return  to  showings  of  pictures 
by  themselves,  alone  and  unimpeded  by  cheap 
vaudeville.  Pictures  reached  their  greatest  popu- 
larity when  picture  shows  consisted  only  of  pic- 
tures. After  disastrous  experiments  we  are  now 
returning  to  this  fundamental  principle. 

Good  pictures  have  stood  and  can  always  stand 
by  themselves.  But  good  pictures  cost  money  to 
make  and,  with  revenue  diverted  to  unworthy 
"presentations,"  the  producer  has  but  one  alterna- 
tive, to  cheapen  his  product.  This  vicious  situation 
has  now  become  the  greatest  menace  pictures  have 
known.  We  must  rid  our  industry  of  this  "old 
man  of  the  sea"  if  we  are  not  to  sink  into  com- 
plete mediocrity.  I  have  no  quarrel  with  those 
exhibitor  friends  of  mine  who  have  b»'ieved  in 
the  presentation  principle.  I  am  convinced  that 
they  are  wrong — but  it  needs  no  elaborate  argu- 
ment from  me  to  change  their  course — for  that 
course  is  now  being  changed  for  them  by  aroused 
public  opinion.  The  public  has  spoken.  The 
public  wants  pictures  when  it  goes  to  see  pic- 
tures ;  vaudeville  when  it  goes  to  see  vaudeville. 
It  does  not  want  the  two  things  mixed. 

*  *  * 

M.  H.  HOFFMAN 
Vice  Pres.   and   Gen'l  M'g'r,    Tiffany-Stahl  Prod. 

The  motion  picture  business  is  still  good  and  it 
will  be  better.  The  fact  that  last  year  was  not 
of  the  best  for  box-office  receipts  and  dividends 
is  not  by  any  means  a  barometer  of  the  trend 
of  the  business.  It  is  simply  an  adjustment  pe- 
riod, and  served  a  warning  to  producers  that  they 
must  progress  with  the  business  in  improving 
entertainment  and  eliminating  waste,  and  to  the 
exhibitors  that  their  business  cannot  be  run  by 
itself,  that  it  needs  study  and  attention.  There 
has  been  a  great  deal  of  discussion  of,  and  attempts 
at,  economy,  but  from  my  point  of  view  they 
began  to  economize  on  the  wrong  end. 

Writers,  directors  and  artists  should  be  en- 
couraged to  give  their  best,  to  create  new  and 
better  entertainment,  and  if  they  are  successful  in 
their  respective  endeavors,  they  should  be  paid  all 
they  are  worth.  They  should  be  given  praise  and 
remuneration  in  proportion  to  what  they  produce. 
The  greatest  waste  is  in  unjustifiable  overhead, 
in  expensive  generals  and  underpaid  or  incompetent 
soldiers.  Too  many  executives — too  few  workers. 
The  ever  existing  bugaboo  of  monopoly  may  be 
threatening  to  those  who  are  afraid  to  stand  on 
their  own  feet,  but  fortunately  brains,  enterprise 
and  finance  cannot  very  well  be  monopolized,  nor 
can  there  be  a  monopoly  on  public  taste,  especially 
in  the  kind  of  entertainment  that  it  wants.  Give 
the  public  what  it  wants,  whether  it  be  in  amuse- 
ment or  in  anything  else,  and  it  will  find  its  way 
to   your  door.

CHARLES  C.  PETTI  JOHN 
General   Counsel,   Film   Boards  of  Trade 
"An  optimist's  hope  is  his  prophecy." 
A — 1928  will  see  a  material  improvement  in  pro- 
duction. 

B — Continued  efficient  distribution. 

C — A  resumption  of  the  use  of  motion  pictures  by 

theater  owners  in  their  sale  of  entertainment, 

resulting  in 
D — A  better  satisfied  public. 

E — We  will  stop  referring  to  the  motion  picture 
business  as  the  "motion  picture  game." 

F — The  public  will  better  understand  the  industry. 

G — 'So  will  all  "inquisitorial  bodies"  with  power 
to  investigate,  because  they  will  have  inves- 
tigated and  procured  facts. 

H — So  will  the  clergy  of  all  creeds  and  denomi- 
nations— we  do  not  care  so  much  about  the 
atheists  and  bolsheviks  who  are  kicking. 

I —  So  will  foreign  countries  who  have  never 
found  this  industry  guilty  of  anything  but 
love  of  country  and  respect  for  this  land  of 
opportunity. 


J  There    will    be    a    better    understanding  and 

more  satisfactory  business  relations  than  ever 
before  between  the  buyers  and  sellers  of  mo- 
tion picture  products. 
K — The  passing  of  the  wolves,  calamity  howlers 
and  scavengers,  who  play  around  the  edges 
of  the  business  and  are  not  really  in  it. 

*  *  * 
JOE  BRANDT 

President,  Columbia  Pictures  Corp. 
The  forthcoming  year  is  sure  to  witness  many 
new  mergers,  and  a  gradual  tightening  up  of  the 
industry.  This  will  be  just  as  true  of  theaters  as 
of  production.  Invested  capital  will  seek  a  more 
definite  and  more  profitable  return,  and  to  assure 
this  the  exorbitant  costs  now  characteristic  of  pro- 
uction  in  certain  quarters  will  be  eliminated.  In  the 
making  of  pictures,  more  emphasis  will  be  p'aced 
where  it  belongs — on  stories  rather  than  stars. 
Pictures  are  gradually  getting  better,  in  spite  of 
what  the  critics  say,  and  it  would  not  be  at  all 
astounding  to  find  that  the  public  prefers  its  pic- 
tures served  up  to  the  accompaniment  of  appropri- 
ate music  and  divested  of  its  vaudeville  tinsel  and 
trappings.  To  meet  the  regulations  imposed  by 
foreign  legislation,  many  American  producers  will 
have  to  send  units  abroad.  The  industry  is  greater 
than  any  individual  or  group  of  individuals  now 
engaged  in  it,  and  the  sifting  down  process  that  is 
inevitable  will  find  a  greater  motion  picture  indus- 
try at  the  end  of  the  new  year.  There  is  no  basis 
in  fact  for  any  apprehension  regarding  its  future 
stability  or  onward  growth.

S.  L.  ROTHAFEL 
Roxy  Theater,  New  York  City 

I  am,  first  of  all,  an  optimist  and,  of  course, 
cannot  see  anything  but  prosperity  ahead  for 
1928.  I  would,  however,  like  to  see  the  producers 
realize  the  fact  that  it  would  pay  more  to  strengthen 
the  consistency  of  the  program  by  eliminating  the 
so-called  Broadway  runs  and  placing  these  pictures 
immediately  into  the  first-run  houses,  thereby  stimu- 
lating the  entire  program.  Of  course  there  will  be 
every  now  and  then  some  big  effort  that  will  be 
a  success  as  a  so-called  two  dollar  picture,  but  that 
will  be  rare  and,  should  I  say,  an  exception  which 
will  only  prove  the  rule? 

In  this  day  of  almost  instantaneous  communica- 
tion whereby  the  exhibitor  in  the  smallest  town 
and  hamlet  knows  what  is  going  on  via  the  radio, 
newspaper  and  fan  magazines,  he  is  as  well  ac- 
quainted with  what  is  going  on  as  are  the  fans  in 
the  metropolitan  centers.  It  is  a  well-known  fact 
that  most  producers  have  lost  great  sums  of  money 
in  trying  to  put  over  the  so-called  Broadway  run 
pictures.  If  this  same  money  were  put  into  the 
propaganda  of  the  regular  programs  in  various  parts 
of  the  country  results  would  be  infinitely  better. 
Therefore,  if  this  is  brought  about,  it  won't  be 
necessary  for  huge  houses  to  spend  the  enormous 
amounts  to  bolster  up  the  programs,  so  that  a 
certain  consistency  in  entertainment  is  forthcom- 
ing, and  that  brings  me  to  our  own  case,  the 
Roxy. 

We  have  not  deviated,  nor  will  we,  one  iota  from 
the  original  plan.  This  is  in  every  sense  a  picture 
theater,  and  all  our  efforts  are  pointed  toward  the 
fact  that  everything  must  be  pictorial.  At  no  time 
will  vaudeville  or  variety  have  a  place  in  our  pro- 
gram. Everything  must  be  a  picture,  but  not 
necessarily  always  on  celluloid. 

*  *  * 

SAM  SAX 
President,  Gotham  Prod. 

Each  succeeding  year  brings  forth  less  effort  on 
the  part  of  the  producer  to  play  down  to  his 
patronage  and  a  greater  tendency  of  the  photo- 
playgoer  to  patronize  pictures  of  a  higher  calibre. 
While  there  may  not  be  a  greater  amount  of 
money  expended  in  production  for  1928,  it  does 
not  require  any  great  gift  of  prophecy  to  state  that 


509 


whatever  is  spent  will  be  utilized  to  greater  advan- 
tage and  more  intelligently.  It  is  more  than  pos- 
sible that  the  sum  total  of  pictures  produced  will 
not  aggregate  as  many  as  in  1927,  as  each  organ- 
ization is  making  a  sincere  effort  toward"  quality 
rather  than  quantity. 

The  year  1928  will  also  sea  more  new  stars  come 
into  prominence  than  in  several  seasons  past  and 
several  new  types  of  stars,  players  w.th  more  per- 
sonality than  pulchritude  perhaps,  are  steadily  reach- 
ing the  top  rung  of  the  ladder  to  stardom.  Very 
few  stage  plays  will  reach  the  screen  in  1928  but 
many  more  books  will  be  filmed  and  many  of  them 
based  on  famous  works  of  literature,  the  surface  of 
which  has  hardly  been  scratched  because  of  the 
extreme  cost  of  production  and  the  reluctant  of 
the  public  in  the  past  to  patronize  them — a  state  of 
affairs  which  is  rapidly  passing.  The  "western" 
will  still  be  with  us,  but  in  a  very  small  minority 
and  those  with  established  Western  stars.  1928  is 
going  to  be  one  year  in  which  brains  will  count 
more  than  bankroll  in  the  Motion  Picture  Industry.

WATTERSON  R.  ROTH  ACKER 
Vice  President,  First  National  Prod.  Corp. 
The  leaves  in  our  teacup  show  that  First  Na- 
tional outlook  is  far  more  encouraging  than  our 
look-back.  I  feel  that  annually  one  may  safely 
predict  that,  with  the  approach  of  a  new  year, 
the  motion  picture  industry  approaches  a 
better  new  year.  On  the  eve  of  1928  I  have  more 
confidence  in,  and  enthusiasm  for,  the  motion  pic- 
ture industry  than  ever  before — and  I  have  always 
been  enthusiastically  confident.  First  National  stu- 
dios comfortably  and  confidently  desire  to  have  their

our  friendly  competitors  more  luck  and  less1  need

HENRY  GINSBERG 
President,  Sterling  Pictures  Corp. 
Independent  producers  have  demonstrated  their 
ability  to  produce  box-office  pictures  of  real  pro- 
portions. The  number  and  the  quality  which 
they  are  to  make  this  year,  and  years  to  come, 
are  dependent  entirely  upon  theater  outlets.  This 
is  the  situation  which  the  independent  producer 
had  to  face.  It  is  no  longer  a  question  of  stories, 
players,  directors  or  pictures.  Past  performances 
have  easily  demonstrated  that  the  independent?  can 
hold  their  own  in  the  industry.  With  producer- 
distributor  alliances  in  the  theater  field,  outlets 
which  mean  real  money  in  the  form  of  rentals 
are  difficult  to  secure.  If  this  avenue  were  thrown 
open — not  wide  open,  necessarily,  but  partly  so, — 
in  the  opinion  of  the  writer,  the  principal  problems 
of  the  independent  producer  will  have  been  solved.

CHARLES  H.  CHRISTIE 
Vice   President,    Clwistie   Film  Corp. 

Like  all  other  pictures  in  the  industry,  the  past 
season  has  shown  better  results  in  comedy  product 
than  ever  before.  We  hear  lots  of  talk  about 
pictures  not  being  as  good  as  they  used  to  be, 
but  if  you  study  carefully  the  field  you  will  find 
that  1927's  best  pictures  from  each  of  the  leading 
companies  were  better  than  their  best  of  the  year 
before  and,  likewise,  you  will  find  that  the  poor 
pictures  are  not  as  poor  as  they  used  to  be.  But 
audiences  are  getting  harder  and  harder  to  please. 
You  have  to  keep  giving  them  more  and  more 
because  the  standard  has  been  raised  every  year. 

Last  season  the  terrific  struggle  in  the  two- 
reel  comedy  field  was  not  a  matter  of  product  but 
a  matter  of  bookings,  and  the  leaving  out  of  com- 
edies in  the  bigger  theaters.  But  we  firmly  be- 
lieve that  1928  will  see  the  greatest  improvement 
in  this  situation  ever  made  over  the  last  three 
years.  With  big  organizations  like  Paramount 
and  Metro  going  into  the  field  of  two  reel  comedies, 
more  and  more  attention  is  being  given  to  them 
by  showmen.  The  product  is  there.  All  that  re- 
mains is  getting  comedies  back  on  the  screen  in 
the  houses  where  they  have  been  left  out  for 
several  seasons.    And  that  is  most  certainly  being 


done.  By  the  end  of  1928  we  can  confidently 
expect  to  see  comedies  getting  their  just  deserts 
in  hundreds  of  houses  where  they  were  shut  out 
last  year.  For  theater  men  are  finding  out  that, 
regardless  of  huge  sums  of  money  spent  on  the 
bill,  there  is  still  some  element  lacking  which 
pleases  an  enormous  amount  of  fans.  And  that 
missing  link  is  the  standard  two-reel  comedy ; 
the  guaranteed  laugh  producer,  and  one  of  the 
snappiest   fifteen   minutes   on   the  bill. 

We  ourselves  are  very  thankful  for  this  move 
in  the  right  direction.  And  much  credit  should  be 
given  to  THE  FILM  DAILY  for  constantly 
calling  this  to  the  attention  of  exhibitors.

Eastman  Kodak  Company 

While  there  was  some  recession  in  business  con- 
ditions generally  in  1927,  the  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury  recently  has  given  assurance  that  the 
outlook  for  1928  is  good.  There  is  reason  to  be- 
lieve that  this  prediction  will  be  realized  ;  and  such 
being  the  case  the  motion  picture  industry  may 
expect  to  participate  proportionately  with  all  big 
business.  Motion  pictures  have  become  so  much 
an  integral  part  of  the  life  of  our  citizens  that  the 
tendency  is  more  than  ever  for  the  picture  houses 
to  become  a  focal  point  of  community  interest. 

The  all-important  thing  is  to  maintain  and  am- 
plify this  condition,  and  that  can  only  be  done  by 
perseverance  toward  highest  motion  picture  ideals. 
This,  we  feel,  is  the  purpose  of  the  leaders  in  pro- 
duction, and  its  fulfillment  will  tend  to  raise  the 
level  of  all  production  and  safeguard  the  ever-in- 
creasing expectations  of  the  picture-going  public. 
Therefore,  everything  seems  to  indicate  that  motion 
picture  theater  patronage  will  be  better  than  ever, 
and  this  means  greater  prosperity  to  the  industry 
during  1928.

W.  RAY  JOHNSTON 
President,  Rayart  Pictures  Corp. 
"A  bigger  and  better  1928."  That's  our  motto. 
Nineteen  twenty-seven  brought  about  a  lesson  that 
will  lead  to  the  stabilization  of  selling  for  the  new 
year.  The  mad  panic  to  get  out  yearly  announce- 
ments in  March  and  April,  instead  of  working 
toward  increased  sales,  proved  a  boomerang  for 
decreased  sales,  as  these  announcements  convinced 
the  exhibitor  that  there  was  an  oversupply  of  pic- 
tures and  there  was  no  rush  to  buy,  hence  the  late 
selling  season  which  will  run  into  next  spring  to 
clean  up  the  current  season's  product.  The  les- 
son from  this  is  fewer  and  better  pictures  and  1928 
will  find  this  condition  corrected ;  already  producers 
and  distributors  are  laying  plans  for  a  less  number 
of  pictures  but  far  better  ones.  This  will  react  for 
the  good  of  the  entire  industry.  Of  that,  there  is 
no  doubt.

NEWTON  I.  STEERS 
President,  Du  Pont  Patlie  Film  Mfg.  Corp. 

In  the  years  that  have  passed  since  the  World 
War,  many  problems  essential  to  world  peace  and 
prosperity  have  presented  themselves  for  solution. 

In  the  United  States  and  some  foreign  lands 
these  problems  have  been  met  by  government  in  a 
spirit  of  good-will  toward  and  cooperation  with 
all  peoples,  and  even  in  the  most  difficult  cases, 
at  least  considerable  progress  has  been  made  to- 
ward their  solution.  This  same  spirit  of  good- 
will and  cooperation  has  been  developing  among 
those  engaged  in  the  business  life  of  America  dur- 
ing these  years,  contributing  to  its  amazing 
growth.  The  motion  picture  industry  seems  to 
be  no  exception  in  this  respect.  Thus  at  the 
beginning  of  1928,  after  a  record  year  of  world 
prosperity  in  which  America  shared  generously 
in  proportion  to  her  contribution,  our  country 
seems,  so  far  as  underlying  conditions  may  be 
considered  a  barometer,  to  be  facing  blue  skies 
and  clear  weather  with  enough  business  to  keep 
American  industry  fully  occupied.

»  Foreign  Films  in  the  United  States 


EXHIBITION  of  foreign  pictures  in  the  United  States  is  growing,  as  witnessed  by 
the  following  list.  The  "little  theater"  movement,  especially,  has  gone  in  for  show- 
ings of  foreign  films,  many  of  them  held  to  be  generally  unsuitable  for  wide  theater 
distribution. 

This  compilation  includes  productions  shown  during  1927  and,  in  some  instances, 
pictures  exhibited  late  in  1926.  Several  of  them  had  their  original  showings  several  years 
ago,  but  have  since  been  revived.

A  Sensational  Success! 


|  The  Film  Spectator,  established  in  March,  1926,  by  Welford 

j  Beaton,  is  a  sensational  success.   Readers  have  found  it  a  coura- 

|  geous  and  powerful  magazine.    Not  always  right,  perhaps, 

j  but  always  honest  and  sincere.    Subscriptions  and  heartening 

j  letters  of  endorsement  roll  in  from  all  the  states  and  foreign 

j  countries. 

Here  are  a  few  of  the  comments:— 

\  "No  one  appreciates  your  work  more  than  I  do." 

}  Elinor  Glyn 

"In  one  year  without  fear  or  favor  you  have  placed  The 
I  Film  Spectator  on  a  pinnacle  second  to  none." 

j  H.  B.  Warner 

"I  think  one  of  the  great  things  about  The  Spectator  is  its 
sincerity.    Right  or  wrong  sincerity  is  golden." 

Sidney  Olcott 


"Once  I  made  up  my  mind  that  I  would  never  read  an- 
other film  paper.  That  was  before  you  started.  I  find 
each  number  of  The  Spectator  better  than  the  last.  How 
do  you  keep  it  up?"  Lon  Chaney 

"I  believe  you  honest,  I  have  no  memory  of  your  writing 
tainted  by  the  policy  of  profit.  While  we  may  not  always 
agree  with  you,  you  are  a  counter  irritant  that  makes  us 
think  and  you  are  immensely  valuable  to  our  industry." 

Theodore  Roberts 

"I  read  The  Film  Spectator  with  constant  interest.  You 
are  doing  some  vigorous  and  excellent  writing  in  it." 

H.  L.  Mencken,  editor  of  The  American  Mercury

Standard  Exhibition  Contract 


An  agreement  designed  to  end  contractual  disputes  in  the  industry  between  ex- 
hibitor and  distributor,  was  adopted  at  a  meeting  on  February  6,  1926.  The  exhib- 
itors of  the  United  States  were  represented  by  R.  F.  Woodhull,  Joseph  M.  Seider,  A. 
Julian  Brylawski,  Charles  L.  O'Reilly,  W.  A.  Steffes,  H.  M.  Richey,  R.  R.  Biechele, 
Frank  Rembusch,  Jules  Michaels  and  H.  A.  Cole.  Will  H.  Hays  represented  the  dis- 
tributors. The  agreement  was  in  the  form  of  a  Standard  Exhibition  Contract,  which 
became  effective  March  1,  1926.  It  took  the  place  of  the  old  Uniform  Contract  between 
exhibitor  and  distributor,  a  number  of  entirely  new  clauses  being  inserted,  and  also 
new  phrases  added.  In  the  text  of  the  contract,  presented  below,  all  new  phrases  and 
clauses  are  distinguished  by  black-faced  type. 

Some  delegates,  representing  theater  owners  at  the  Trade  Practice  Confer- 
ence, held  in  New  York  in  October,  1927,  upon  suggestion  of  the  Federal  Trade 
Commission,  fought  to  have,  the  Uniform  Contract  junked.  An  unsuccessful  attempt 
was  made  by  distributors  and  exhibitors  to  straighten  out  all  differences  so  that  the 
contract  would  be  acceptable  to  both.  As  a  result,  a  committee  ivas  appointed  to  revise 
the  Contract  in  time  for  use  at  the  beginning  of  the  1928-29  sales  season.  This  com- 
mittee comprised  the  following  exhibitors  and  distributors: 

Independent  Theater  Owners:  R.  Biechele,  Missouri;  Ben  Bernstein,  Califor- 
nia; Nathan  Yamins,  Massachusetts.  Alternates:  J.  Louis  Rome,  Maryland;  H.  A. 
Cole,  Texas;  Joseph  Walsh,  Connecticut. 

Affiliated  Exhibitors :  E.  A.  Schiller,  Loew's,  Inc.,  New  York;  Harold  Franklin, 
Wesco  Theaters,  Los  Angeles;  Fred  Desberg,  Loew's  Ohio  Theaters,  Inc.,  Cleveland. 
Alternates:  E.  V.  Richards,  Jr.,  Saenger  Enterprises,  Inc.,  New  Orleans;  Dayi  Micha- 
love,  formerly  of  Universal  Chain  Theaters,  New  York,  now  with  Pathe;  Harry  Cran- 
dall,  Stanley-Crandall  Corp.,  Washington,  D.  C. 

Distributors:  Felix  Feist,  Metro-Goldwyn  Mayer ;  James  R.  Grainger,  Fox;  Phil 
Reisman,  Pathe  Exchange,  Inc.    No  alternates. 

Payment  of  Fixed  Sums 

FOURTH  :  The  Exhibitor  agrees  to  pay  for 
such  license  as  to  each  of  such  photoplays  the  fixed

tributor's exchange  or  from  the  last  previous  Ex- 
hibitor of  the  positive  print  thereof. 

Percentage  Bookings 

FIFTH:  If  this  contract  calls  for  payment  or 
any  part  thereof  computed  upon  the  Exhibitor's 
gross  receipts  the  Exhibitor  shall  furnish  to  the

the  gross  receipts  of  said  theater  for  admission 
thereto  upon  the  exhibition  date  or  dates  of  each 
photoplay  for  which  payment  is  so  required  to  be 
made.  Should  the  Distributor  so  require,  such 
itemized  statements  shall  be  made  upon  forms  fur- 
nished by  the  Distributor. 

The  Distributor  shall  have  access  during  the 
period  of  exhibition  of  each  such  photoplay  and 
for  a  period  of  sixty  (60)  days  after  the  receipt 
by  the  Distributor  of  the  final  box  office  state- 
ment, for  the  purpose  of  inspection,  to  the  box 
office  and  to  all  books  and  records  relating  to  the 
Exhibitor's  box  office  receipts  during  the  period 
of  exhibition  of  each  such  photoplay. 

Payments  or  any  part  thereof  computed  upon 
the  Exhibitor's  box  office  receipts  shall  be  made 
daily  during  the  exhibition  of  the  print  of  each 
photoplay  for  which  payment  is  so  required  to  be 
made. 

Payment  on  Account 

SIXTH:  Payment,  if  any,  made  upon  the  exe- 
cution hereof  by  the  Exhibitor  shall  be  deemed

(e)  The  exhibition  date  or  dates  of  any  of  the 
photoplays  selected  by  the  Exhibitor  (if  available) 


or  designated  as  above  provided  or  otherwise  agreed

Return  of  Prints 

TENTH  :  The  Exhibitor  agrees  to  return  each 
positive  print  received  by  the  Exhibitor  hereunder, 
with  the  reels  and  containers  furnished  therewith, 
to  the  exchange  of  the  Distributor  from  which 
the  Exhibitor  is  served  or  as  otherwise  directed  by 
the  Distributor  immediately  after  the  last  exhibi- 
tion of  such  positive  print  licensed  hereunder,  in 
the  same  condition  as  when  received  by  the  Ex- 
hibitor, reasonable  wear  and  tear  due  to  the  proper 
use  thereof  excepted.  The  Exhibitor  agrees  to 
pay  all  costs  of  transportation  of  such  positive 
prints,  reels  and  containers  from  the  Distributor's 
exchange  or  the  last  previous  exhibitor  having 
possession  of  any  such  positive  print  (as  the  case 
may  be)  and  return  to  the  Distributor's  exchange ; 
or  if  directed  by  the  Distributor,  to  ship  such 
positive  prints  elsewhere  than  to  the  Distributor's 
exchange  transportation  charges  collect.  It  is 
agreed  that  the  delivery  of  a  positive  print  properly 
directed  and  packed  in  the  container  furnished  by 
the  Distributor  therefor,  to  a  carrier  designated  or 
used  by  the  Distributor  and  proper  receipt  there- 
for obtained  by  the  Exhibitor,  shall  constitute  the 
return  of  such  positive  print  by  the  Exhibitor. 

If  the  Exhibitor  fails  to  or  delays  the  return 
of  any  positive  print  to  the  Distributor  or  fails  to 
forward  or  delays  forwarding  (as  directed  by  the 
Distributor)  any  such  print  to  any  other  Exhibitor 
the  Exhibitor  agrees  in  addition  to  paying  the  Dis- 
tributor the  damage,  if  any,  so  caused  the  Dis- 
tributor to  pay  to  such  other  Exhibitor  the  damage, 
if  any  so  caused  such  other  Exhibitor  as  shall  be 
determined  by  Arbitration  as  provided  for  in  Ar- 
ticle Twentieth  hereof.  In  case  the  Exhibitor 
shall  be  damaged  by  reason  of  the  failure  or  de- 
lay of  any  other  Exhibitor  in  returning  any  print 
to  the  Distributor  or  in  forwarding  (as  directed  by 
the  Distributor)  any  such  print  to  the  Exhibitor 
the  Exhibitor  agrees  to  assert  such  claim  for  dam- 
ages only  against  such  other  Exhibitor  and  that 
such  claim  and  the  damage,  if  any,  shall  be  de- 
termined by  Arbitration  provided  for  as  aforesaid. 

Loss  and  Damage  to  Prints 

ELEVENTH:  The  Exhibitor  shall  pay  to  the 
Distributor  the  sum  of  four  (4)  cents  for  each 
linear  foot  of  any  positive  print  lost,  stolen  or 
destroyed  or  injured  in  any  way  in  the  interval 
between  the  delivery  thereof  by  the  Distributor 
and  the  return  thereof  by  the  Exhibitor  in  full 
settlement  of  all  claims  for  such  loss,  theft,  de- 
struction or  injury.  If  any  such  positive  print  or 
any  part  thereof  is  colored,  then  for  any  such 
print  or  part  thereof  the  Exhibitor  shall  pay  to 
the  Distributor  the  laboratory  cost  thereof  instead 
of  four  (4)  cents  per  linear  foot.  (Laboratory 
invoice  for  such  colored  print  or  part  thereof  shall 
be  conclusive  of  such  laboratory  cost  upon  the 
parties  hereto).  Such  payment,  however,  shall  not 
transfer  title  to  or  any  interest  in  such  positive 
prints  to  the  Exhibitor  or  any  other  party,  nor 
release  the  Exhibitor  from  liability  arising  out  of 
any  breach  of  this  agreement.  The  Distributor 
shall  repay  or  credit  to  the  Exhibitor  any  sums 
paid  by  the  latter  for  lost  or  stolen  prints,  ex- 
cepting new  reels,  upon  their  return  to  the  Dis- 
tributor within  sixty  (60)  days  after  the  date  when 
the  same  should  have  been  returned  hereunder. 
The  Exhibitor  shall  immediately  notify  the  Dis- 
tributor's exchange  by  telegram  of  the  loss,  theft 
or  destruction  of  or  damage  or  injury  to  any  posi- 
tive print.  If  any  print  shall  be  received  from  the 
Exhibitor  by  the  Distributor  or  any  subsequent 
Exhibitor  in  a  damaged  or  partially  destroyed  con- 
dition it  shall  be  deemed  to  have  been  so  dam- 
aged or  destroyed  by  the  Exhibitor  unless  the  lat- 
ter, on  the  day  of  receipt  of  such  print  and  prior 
to  the  second  public  showing  thereof,  shall  have 
telegraphed   the   Distributor's   exchange   that  such 


541 


print  was  received  by  him  in  a  damaged  or  par- 
tially destroyed  condition,  and  setting  forth  fully 
the  nature  of  such  damage  and  the  amount  of 
footage  so  damaged  or  destroyed.

TWELFTH  :  The  Distributor  reserves  the 
right  to  change  the  title  of  any  of  the  photoplays

consent  of  the  Exhibitor:  and  warrants  that  none 
of  such  photoplays  are  reissues  from  old  negatives

citically  set  forth  as  such  in  the  said  schedule.

sells  or  disposes  of  his  interest  in  the  theater  above 
specified,  he  may  assign  this  contract  to  the  pur- 
chaser of  such  interest  without  the  written  con- 
sent of  the  Distributor  and  such  assignment  shall 
become  effective  upon  the  written  acceptance  there- 
of by  the  assignee,  such  assignment,  however,  not 
to  relieve  the  Exhibitor  of  his  liability  hereunder 
unless  the  Distributor  consents  in  writing  to  re- 
lease the  Exhibitor  from  such  liability.

FOURTEENTH:  The  Exhibitor  agrees  to  run 
photoplays  as  delivered  without  alteration,  except 
with  the  written  or  telegraphic  approval  of  the

must  be  leased  from  or  through  the  Distributor 
and  must  not  be  sold,  leased  or  given  away  by  the 
Exhibitor. 

Unless  this  contract  expressly  provides  for  the 
"first  run"  in  the  City  or  Town  wherein  the  thea- 
ter hereinabove  specified  is  located,  the  Exhibitor 
agrees  not  to  advertise  any  of  the  photoplays 
herein  provided  for  by  means  of  lithographs,  slides, 
trailers,  lobby  displays,  newspaper  announcements, 
advertising  or  otherwise  prior  to,  and  until  after 
the  completion  of,  the  exhibition  of  such  photo- 
play by  any  other  Exhibitor  having  the  right  to 
the  "first  run"  thereof  in  said  City  or  Town. 

The  Distributor  shall  not  in  any  wise  be  liable 
for  any  breach  of  the  provision  of  the  immediately 
preceding  paragraph  contained  in  any  other  Stand- 
ard Exhibition  Contract  with  any  other  Exhibitor. 

Warranty  As  to  Advertising

is  or  shall  be  payable  or  paid  by  the  Distributor 
and  the  exact  amount  payable  hereunder  by  the 
Exhibitor  is  not  therein  definitely  fixed  or  cannot 
be  exactly  determined  then  the  Exhibitor  agrees 
to  pay  such  part  of  any  such  tax,  fee  or  other 
like  charge,  paid  or  payable  by  the  Distributor 
as  shall  be  fixed  in  the  manner  determined  by  the 
then  President  of  the  Arbitration  Society  of 
America.

SEVENTEENTH  :  The  exhibitor  warrants  and 
agrees  that  during  the  period  of  each  of  the  photo- 
plays herein  provided  for  shall  be  exhibited  in  said 
theater  the  Exhibitor  will  charge  for  admission  to 
said  theater  in  actual  admission  fee  which  shall  not

Delays  In  or  Prevention  of  Performances 

EIGHTEENTH  :  In  case  the  Exhibitor  shall  be 
delayed  in  or  prevented  from  the  performance  of

spect to  such  photoplay  shall  be  excused  and  all 
claims  or  causes  of  action  for  damages  therefor,  or 
arising  therefrom,  are  hereby  expressly  waived  by 
the  Distributor.  In  any  such  event,  the  time  of  the 
Exhibitor  to  perform  this  Contract  with  respect 
to  any  such  photoplay  shall  be  extended  for  a 
period  equal  to  the  time  of  such  delay,  unless 
performance  thereof  because  of  the  happening  of 
any  such  cause  or  contingency  is  rendered  im- 
possible, in  which  case  performance  by  the  Ex- 
hibitor with  respect  to  any  such  photoplay  shall 
be  waived.  The  resumption  of  performance  by  the 
Exhibitor  shall  begin  promptly  after  the  removal 
or  abatement  of  the  contingencies  or  causes  of 
such  disability  or  prevention  of  performance,  pro- 
vided, that  if  such  delay  and/or  prevention  of  per- 
formance, caused  as  aforesaid,  shall  continue  for 
a  period  of  three  (3)  months  either  party  hereto 
may  cancel  this  contract,  but  only  with  respect  to

fied by  reason  of  the  elements,  accidents,  strikes, 
fire,  insurrection  acts  of  God,  the  public  enemy, 
public  calamity,  Court  orders,  censor  rulings,  de- 
lays of  any  common  carrier,  delays  in  production 
or  failure  of  the  producers  of  any  of  such  photo- 
plays to  make  or  deliver  them  to  the  Distributor 
or  of  any  star  or  other  performer  to  appear  there-

failure  or  delay  of  any  prior  Exhibitor  in  return- 
ing any  positive  print  to  the  Distributor  or  in 
forwarding  any  positive  print  to  a  subsequent  Ex- 
hibitor, then  such  delay  in  or  prevention  of  per- 
formance shall  be  excused  and  all  claims  or  causes 
of  action  for  damages  therefor  or  arising  therefrom 
are  hereby  expressly  waived  by  the  Exhibitor.  In 
any  such  event,  the  time  of  the  Distributor  to  per- 
form this  contract  with  respect  to  any  such  photo- 
play shall  be  extended  for  a  period  equal  to  the 
time  of  such  delay,  unless  performance  because  of 
the  happening  of  any  such  cause  or  contingency  is 
rendered  impossible,  in  which  case  performance  by 
the  Distributor  with  respect  to  any  such  photo- 
play shall  be  waived.  The  resumption  of  per- 
formance by  the  Distributor  shall  begin  promptly 
after  the  removal  of  abatement  of  the  contingencies 
or  causes  of  such  disability  or  prevention  of  per- 
formance and  the  Distributor  shall  deliver  to 
the  Exhibitor  any  such  photoplay  at  the  earliest 
available  date  thereafter,  and  such  delivery  in 
any  such  case  shall  be  the  same  force  and  effect 
as  though  delivery  took  place  within  the  period 
herein  above  limited  and  the  Exhibitor  agrees  to 
accept,  pay  for  and  exhibit  any  such  photoplay 
at  any  such  later  period  pursuant  to  the  terms 
hereof,  provided,  that  if  such  delay  and/or  preven- 
tion of  performance,  caused  as  aforesaid,  shall 
continue  for  a  period  of  three  (3)  months  either 
party  hereto  may  cancel  this  contract,  but  only 
with  respect  to  any  such  photoplay  the  delivery 
hereunder  of  which  has  been  so  delayed  or  pre- 
vented, by  sending  within  ten  (10)  days  after  the 
expiration  of  such  three  (3)  months'  period  to 
the  other  party  notice  in  writing  to  such  effect.

upon  request)  in  the  city  wherein  is  situated  the 
branch  office  of  the  Distributor  from  which  the 
Exhibitor  is  served  or  if  there  be  no  such  Hoard 
of  Arbitration  in  such  city  then  to  the  Board  of 
Arbitration  in  the  city  nearest  thereto  (unless  the 
parties  hereto  agree  in  writing  that  such  submis- 
sion shall  be  made  to  a  Board  of  Arbitration  lo- 
cated in  another  specified  city),  all  claims  and 
controversies  arising  hereunder  for  determination 
pursuant  to  the  rules  of  procedure  and  practice 
adopted  by  such  Board  of  Arbitration. 

The  parties  hereto  further  agree  to  abide  by  and 
forthwith  comply  with  any  decision  and  award  of 
such  Board  of  Arbitration  in  any  such  arbitration 
preceeding,  and  agree  and  consent  that  any  such 
decision  or  award  shall  be  enforceable  in  or  by  any

laws  of  such  jurisdiction  now  or  hereafter  in  force; 
and  each  party  hereto  hereby  waives  the  right  of 
trial  by  jury  upon  any  issue  arising  under  this 
contract,  and  agrees  to  accept  as  conclusive  the 
findings  of  fact  made  by  any  such  Board  of  Ar- 
bitration, and  consents  to  the  introduction  of  such 
findings  in  evidence  in  any  judicial  proceeding. 

In  the  event  that  the  Exhibitor  shall  fail  or 
refuse  to  consent  to  submit  to  arbitration  any 
claim  or  controversy  arising  under  this  or  any 
other  film  service  contract  providing  for  arbitra- 
tion which  the  Exhibitor  may  have  with  this  or 
any  other  Distributor  or  to  abide  by  and  forth- 
with comply  with  any  decision  or  award  of  such 
Board  of  Arbitration  upon  any  such  claim  or  con- 
troversy so  submitted,  or  if  the  Exhibitor  shall 
be  found  by  such  Board  of  Arbitration  in  any 
such  arbitration  proceeding  to  have  been  guilty 
of  such  a  breach  of  contract  as  shall  in  the  opinion 
of  such  Board  of  Arbitration  justify  this  or  any 
other  Distributor  in  requiring  security  in  dealings 
with  the  Exhibitor,  the  Distributor  may,  at  its 
option,  demand,  for  its  protection  and  as  security 
for  the  performance  by  the  Exhibitor  of  this  and 
all  other  existing  contracts  between  the  parties 
hereto,  payment  by  the  Exhibitor  of  an  additional 
sum  not  exceeding  $500  under  each  existing  con- 
tract, such  sum  to  be  retained  by  the  Distributor 
until  the  complete  performance  of  all  such  con- 
tracts and  then  applied,  at  the  option  of  the  Dis- 
tributor, against  any  sums  finally  due  or  against 
any  damages  determined  by  said  Board  of  Arbi- 
tration to  be  due  to  the  Distributor,  the  balance 
if  any,  to  be  returned  to  the  Exhibitor;  and  in  the 
event  of  the  Exhibitor's  failure  to  pay  such  addi- 
tional sum  within  seven  days  after  demand,  the 
Distributor  may  by  written  notice  to  the  Exhibitor 
suspend  service  hereunder  until  said  sum  shall  be 
paid  and/or  terminate  this  contract. 

In  the  event  that  the  Distributor  shall  fail 
or  refuse  to  consent  to  the  submission  to  arbitra- 
tion of  any  claim  or  controversy  arising  under 
this  or  any  other  film  service  contract  providing 
for  arbitration  which  the  Distributor  may  have 
with  the  Exhibitor,  or  to  abide  by  and  forthwith 
comply  with  any  decision  or  award  of  such  Board 
of  Arbitration  upon  ony  such  claim  or  controversy 
so  submitted,  or  if  the  Distributor  shall  be  found 
by  such  Board  of  Arbitration  in  any  such  arbitra- 
tion  proceeding  to  have  been  guilty  of  such  a 
breach  of  contract  as  shall  in  the  opinion  of  such 
Board  of  Arbitration  justify  the  Exhibitor  in  re- 
fusing to  deal  with  the  Distributor,  the  Exhibitor- 
may  terminate  this  and  any  other  existing  contract 
between  the  Exhibitor  and  the  Distributor  by 
mailing  notice  by  registered  mail  within  two  (2) 
weeks  after  such  failure,  refusal  or  finding  and  in 
addition  the  Distributor  shall  not  be  entitled  to 
redress  from  such  Board  of  Arbitration  upon  any 
claim  or  claims  against  any  Exhibitor  until  the 
Distributor  shall  have  complied  with  such  decision, 
and  in  the  meanwhile  the  provisions  of  the  first 
paragraph  of  this  Article  Twentieth  shall  not  apply 
to  any  such  claim  or  claims. 

Any  such  termination  by  either  party,  however, 


shall  be  without  prejudice  to  any  other  right  or 
remedy  which  the  party  so  terminating  may  have 
by  reason  of  any  such  breach  of  contract  by  the 
other  party. 

The  provisions  of  this  contract  relating  to  arbi- 
tration  shall  be  construed  according  to  the  law 
of  the  State  of  New  York.

THEATERS 


MOTION  PICTURE  THE- 
ATERS throughout  the  United 
States  are  presented  for  a  third 
time  by  THE  FILM  YEAR  BOOK. 
They  are  arranged  in  alphabetical 
order,  by  states,  cities  and  towns.  In 
connection  with  each  listing  appears 
names  of  theaters,  their  seating  ca- 
pacities and  population  of  the  town. 

Mention  is  also  made  of  many  im- 
portant neighborhood  or  first  run  the- 
aters which  are  in  course  of  con- 
struction, thereby  giving  the  com- 
pilation added  value  in  that  it  con- 
tains data  on  numerous  openings 
scheduled  for  the  year  1928. 

It  is  important  to  note  that  in  a 
considerable  number  of  towns,  mo- 
tion picture  entertainment  is  given  in 
schools,  clubs  or  churches.  In  dis- 
tribution these  are  construed  as  reg- 
ular accounts.  All  such  classifica- 
tions are  embraced. 

Cooperation  extended  the  editors 
of  THE  FILM  YEAR  BOOK  by 
the  thirty-nine  Film  Boards  of  Trade 
is  gratefully  acknowledged,  since 
without  their  aid,  this  list  of  20,000 
theaters  would  not  have  been  pos- 
sible. 


A  Complete  List  of  Over 
20,000  Motion  Picture  Theaters

EXPLOITATION 


STUNTS  AND  IDEAS  adaptable 
to  practically  every  conceivable 
type  of  production  are  embraced 
in  this  department,  which  represents 
the  largest  selection  of  all-year-round 
exploitation  ever  placed  at  the  dis- 
posal of  a  theater  owner. 

These  ideas  and  stunts  have  been 
arranged  in  groups  for  ready  refer- 
ence, as  follows:  Newspaper  Stunts, 
Lobbies,  Theater  Fronts,  Ballyhoos. 
Tie-Ups,  Window  Displays,  Printed 
Matter,  Special  Showings  and  Special 
Stunts,  the  latter,  in  particular,  con- 
taining a  gold  mine  of  information 
on  all  sorts  of  stunts  that  cannot 
readily  be  classified  under  headings 
mentioned. 

The  true  value  of  this  theater  pub- 
licity lies  in  the  fact  that  each  stunt 
is  adaptable  to  a  score  of  features, 
rather  than  one  particular  production. 
They  were  submitted  by  exhibitors 
for  THE  FILM  DAILY  "Exploit- 
O-Grams"  department,  in  the  main, 
and  constitute  a  manual  of  exploita- 
tion, the  practicability  of  which  is 
assured  since  each  stunt  constitutes 
a  campaign  actually  put  over  by  a 
showman. 


Here  is  the  Exhibitors'  Exploitation 
Guide — a  Complete  and  Permanent 
Manual  of  Tested  Box-Office  Pullers.

Practical  Showmanship  Ideas 


IN  COMPILING  the  Exploitation  Guide  this  year,  the  stunts  have  been  grouped  under 
important  divisions  so  that  the  exhibitor  will  find  a  greater  convenience  in  placing  his 
hand  instantly  on  the  particular  material  required.  The  groups  are:  College,  Comedies, 
Juvenile,  Mystery,  Romance,  Sea,  Society,  Sports,  War  and  Westerns.  They  are 
listed  in  this  alphabetical  order.  Then  follows  a  big  group  under  the  heading  "Gen- 
eral," containing  exploitation  ideas  that  are  adaptable  to  any  variety  of  picture.  Special 
stunts  for  holidays  will  be  found  in  the  latter  group. 


It  is  important  to  bear  in  mind  that  even  though  these  stunts  apply  particu- 
larly to  one  type  of  picture,  the  great  majority  of  them  are  equally  adaptable  to 
a  variety  of  features.  For  instance,  a  stunt  listed  under  "Comedies"  may  be  just 
the  publicity  you  want  to  use  on  a  society  picture,  a  mystery  or  a  sport  feature. 
No  matter  what  type  of  feature  you  run,  you  will  find  here  a  choice  of  campaigns 
to  exploit  it. 


The  main  divisions  in  turn  are  subdivided  into  the  exploitation  classifications  of  stunts 
for  Newspapers,  Lobbies,  Theater  Fronts,  Ballyhoos,  Tie-Ups,  Window  Displays,  Printed 
Matter,  Special  Stunts  and  Special  Showings.  This  simple  arrangement  spreads  before 
the  exhibitor  instantly  a  choice  of  ideas  for  any  type  of  picture. 

Here  is  a  practical  reference  chart  of  stunts  that  have  proved  money-makers  at  the 
box-office.  Most  of  them  appeared  originally  as  Exploit-O-Grams  in  THE  FILM  DAILY'. 

Caution 

Because  of  state  and  local  laws  and  ordinances  in  some  sections  restrict- 
ing or  prohibiting  certain  forms  of  contests  and  prize  awards,  the  theater 
manager  is  warned  to  make  certain  that  the  stunts  he  selects  do  not  conflict 
with  such  regulations  in  his  town. 

STUDENTS'  TICKETS 
For  building  up  student  patronage  in  a  college 
town,  or  among  high  school  pupils.  Place  a  sign 
on  the  box-office  headed  "Special  Students'  Tick- 
ets." The  sign  explains  that  possession  of  a 
student's  ticket  admits  bearer  for  half  price. 
Special  notices  are  printed  on  theater  size  tickets 
and  distributed  through  the  college  or  high  school. 


College 


LOBBIES 

COLLEGE  ATMOSPHERE 
String  pennants  across  the  lobby,  but  be  sure 
to  include  all  the  local  high  schools  and  colleges. 
Intermingle  the  pennants  with  cut-out  football 
likenesses  painted  on  ordinary  cardboard,  with  the 
name  of  the  picture,  star  and  play  dates. 

TIE-UPS 

STREET  PARTY 
For  exploiting  college  or  football  picture.  Tie 
up  with  local  college  to  secure  enough  men  from 
football  squad  to  form  two  teams.  They  will  be 
used  to  stage  a  number  of  showy  plays  at  an  eve- 
ning party.  Secure  permission  of  police  depart- 
ment to  rope  off  block  in  front  of  theater.  Adver- 
tise that  on  opening  night  the  football  stunt  will 
be  given  at  7:15,  followed  by  band  concert.  Use 
college  band  or  local  boys'  band.  Secure  powerful 
photographers'  lights.  Hook  them  up  inside  of 
theater  with  enough  cable  to  bring  to  end  of 
marquee.  With  the  college  supplying  linesmen, 
referee,  etc.,  this  is  a  real  novelty. 

SPECIAL  STUNTS 

UKULELE  CONTEST 

Stage  contest  between  two  rival  high  schools, 
public  schools  or  colleges.  Assign  each  school  a 
special  evening  for  'uke"  honors.  Have  deciding 
contest  on  a  third  night,  when  the  "runners-up" 
of  both  schools  compete.  Of  course  the  judges 
must  play  safe  by  giving  both  schools  an  even 
break.  Have  school  pennants  and  banners  dec- 
orate stage  and  lobby.  Allow  "time  out"  for 
school  cheers  during  program.  Wind  up  with  a 
luncheon  for  all  contestants. 

COLLEGE  STICKERS 

On  a  picture  with  college  atmosphere,  tie  in  with 
college  or  high  school  students  by  printing  special 
stickers  which  are  pasted  by  the  students  on  their 
note  books. 


SPECIAL  SHOWINGS 

COLLEGE  NIGHT 

If  there  is,  no  college  in  town,  this  special  night 
can  be  worked  with  the  high  school  just  as  effec- 
tively. Outside  the  screening  of  the  picture,  turn 
your  program  over  to  a  committee  of  the  students. 
Under  your  supervision  they  can  build  a  fine 
evening's  entertainment  with  their  glee  club,  danc- 
ing numbers,  and  school  orchestra  or  band.  Deco- 
rate theater  front  and  lobby  with  banners  and 
pennants. 

Comedies 

NEWSPAPERS 

"WISE-CRACKS" 

Arrange  with  newspaper  for  a  "Wise-crack" 
contest  named  after  the  title  of  the  picture.  Each 
contribution  must  use  the  name  of  the  attraction. 
All  those  good  enough  for  publication  receive  a 
free  ticket  to  the  show.  The  paper  features  daily 
write-ups  during  the  run. 

LOBBIES 

COMEDY  PROPS 
For  use  on  big  comedy  feature.  Secure  a  laugh 
mirror  that  caricatures  the  observer.  Hidden  wind 
blowers  will  have  them  laughing  before  they  see 
the  show.  Dress  a  dummy  like  the  comedy  star. 
Hang  "Laugh"  cards  on  walls  and  from  ceiling. 


706 


FIRST  AID 

Use  on  feature  comedy.  Place  a  stretcher  at 
front  of  lobby,  bearing  a  sign:  "This  stretcher  at 
service  of  our  patrons  who  laugh  themselves 
sick."  This  can  be  varied  with  a  dummy  figure 
on  stretcher  bearing  sign:  "This  man  split 
his  sides  laughing  at   (name  of  picture)." 

THEATER  FRONTS 

WINKING  CUTOUT 

Use  a  cutout  head  of  the  star  from  a  24-sheet. 
Place  a  twinkle  light  in  back  of  one  eye,  which 
gives  the  effect  of  winking.  Placed  on  top  of 
marquee,  this  can  be  seen  a  long  distance.  It 
makes  a  good  night  flash,  and  is  inexpensive. 
BROADCAST  LAUGHS 

On  big  comedy  feature,  use  radio  amplifying 
apparatus  for  broadcasting  the  laughter  from  the 
house  into  the  street  in  front  of  the  theater.  Use 
a  special  loud  speaker  for  this  purpose.  The 
laughter  can  be  picked  up  by  means  of  a  regular 
radio  microphone. 

"LAUGH-O-METER" 

For  use  on  comedy  feature.  In  place  of  a 
regular  clock  face,  the  round  cardboard  disk  has 
written  on  it  the  words  "Laughs,"  "Guffaws," 
"Screams,"  "Howls,"  etc.,  taking  the  place  of  the 
hours.  This  "Laugh-O-Meter"  is  supposed  to  in- 
dicate the  volume  of  laughs  in  the  feature.  A 
hand  revolves  continually.  This  is  accomplished 
by  means  of  a  small  electric  motor  placed  in  the 
"clock."  Special  gears  are  necessary  to  reduce  the 
speed  of  the  motor  so  that  the  clock  hand  will 
not  revolve  too  fast. 

BALLYHOOS 

•CROSS-COUNTRY  AUTO 

Use  old,  battered  flivver  covered  with  painted 
signs  of  a  humorous  nature,  playing  up  any  in- 
teresting local  news.  Have  one  sign  read :  "Direct 
from  Alaska  to  see  (name  of  picture  and  theater)." 
Use  whitewash  to  print  the  names  of  cities  and 
states  through  which  it  is  supposed  to  have 
traveled  to  see  the  show. 

AMBULANCE  STUNT 

This  never  fails  when  used  on  a  big  comedy 
feature.  On  opening  night,  an  ambulance  with 
clanging  bell  dashes  up  to  thetheater.  Two  men 
come  out  of  the  theater  carrying  a  stretcher.  Upon 
it  is  a  laughing,  raving  maniac,  waving  his  arms 
wildly  and  emitting  yells.  Just  as  the  stretcher  is 
raised  to  be  placed  in  the  ambulance,  banners 
roll  down  from  each  side  with  the  announcement : 
"He's  gone  crazy  from  laughing  at  (name  of 
picture,    or  star)." 

BALKY  DONKEY 

A  good  street  stunt  is  the  employment  of  a 
balky  donkey  led  by  a  man  in  comedy  rig.  When 
the  donkey  balks,  he  remonstrates  with  it  loudly 
for   the   benefit   of   onlookers,    telling    the  animal 

he  will  be  late  for  the  picture  at  the  ■   theater. 

Signs  on  the  donkey's  back  tell  of  the  attraction. 
PAINTED  BARRELS 

Advertising     comedy     feature.       Place  barrels, 
painted   white   with   red   lettering :    "A    Barrel  of 
Fun,"   on  prominent  street   corners.     Inside  bar- 
rels place  comedy  cutouts  from  the  picture. 
ANTIQUE  AUTO  PARADE 

Arrange  with  all  auto  dealers  to  aid  in  lining 
up  antiquated  cars,  the  idea  being  to  make  this 
a  freak  parade  emphasizing  the  comedy  angle. 
In  contrast  to  the  "before-the-war"  specimens, 
dealers  show  their  new  models  with  suitable  ad- 
vertising. One  car  can  be  used  as  a  ballyhoo  for 
the  picture  at  theater. 

PRINTED  MATTER 

LAUGH  POWDERS 

Use  this  on  comedy  feature.  Envelopes  are 
printed  bearing  the  following:  "Save  these.  You'll 
need  'cm.    Laugh  powders  to  ease  your  aching  sides 


when  you  have  seen  (picture)."  Inside  the  envel- 
opes place  two  capsules  containing  flour. 

LAUGHTER  CARD 
For    comedies    a    Laughter    Card    can    be  cir- 
culated.    It  purports  to  be  a  membership  in  the 
Brotherhood    of    Laughtermotive    Engineers,  and 
is  gotten  up  to  resemble  a  union  card. 

SPECIAL  STUNTS 

FLIVVER  PRIZE 

Secure  an  old  flivver,  decorate  it  with  a  lot  of 
"wise  cracks,"  such  as,  "Lincoln's  Poor  Relation," 
"Why  Girls  Walk  Home,"  etc.,  and  offer  it  as  a 
prize  to  the  person  who  submits  the  cleverest  name 
for  it.  This  is  a  good  stunt  in  a  college  town.  To 
the  runners-up  prizes  of  collegiate  pipes  or  tarns 
can  be  presented. 

COUNTING  THE  LAUGHS 

When  presenting  real  comedy  picture,  place  large 
announcement  board  in  front  of  box-office  with 
picture  of  man  with  large  beaming  smile,  accom- 
panied by  copy  reading:  "The  person  who  sends 
in  to  theater  manager,  the  number  of  real  laughs 
in  the  picture,  will  receive  a  pass,  good  for  one 
month,  to  see  the  shows  at  this  theater."  Natur- 
ally, people  will  be  obligated  to  see  the  picture 
in  order  to  count  the  laughs.  Laughs  to  be 
guided  by  funny  situations  in  the  picture,  and  the 
number  of  laughs  checked  up  against  the  contest- 
ants. 

HAROLD    LLOYD  STUNT 
Rig  up  a  novel  lobby  shadow  box,  on  the  front 
of  which  is  the  head  of  Harold  Lloyd.  Through 
his   famous  eyeglasses  the  public   can  view  stills 
from  the  picture. 

SPECIAL  SHOWINGS 

KID  IMPERSONATORS 

On  comedies  featuring  children,  hold  a  special 
performance  at  which  the  youngsters  give  imper- 
sonations of  the  juvenile  characters  in  the  him. 
Appoint  a  committee  of  three  as  judges,  consisting 
of  school  board  officials  or  prominent  people.  The 
mothers  and  school  teachers  will  readily  cooperate 
in  helping  the  kids  with  their  costumes.  Here 
is  a   real   neighborhood  event. 

"LAUGH  MONTH" 

The  National  Laugh  Month  Committee  suggest 
the  following  ideas :  Dress  ushers  in  clown  cos- 
tumes. Have  your  sign  painter  make  "HA"  and 
"HO"  compo  board  cutout  signs  in  various  sizes, 
from  a  foot  high  to  six  feet  high,  in  assorted  colors. 
Hang  these  about  the  theater,  or  stand  them  in 
lobby  or  out  front.  Run  Laugh  Month  trailer. 
Use  "Laughing"  records  placed  in  a  phonograph 
with  repeat  attachment  set  up  behind  a  cut-out 
poster  of  a  laughing  face.  Stage  a  Laughing  Con- 
test with  an  award  to  those  who  can  sit  through 
your  show  without  laughing.  Conduct  a  Laugh- 
ing Contest  on  the  stage  to  discover  the  person 
having  the  most  natural  laugh.  Another  stunt 
is  to  "plant"  one  of  those  high-pitched,  shrieking 
laughers  in  your  audience.  Try  a  Clown  Carnival, 
with  the  neighborhood  kids  dressed  in  funny  cos- 
tumes parading  to  the  theater.  The  comedy 
"Amateur  Night"  is  a  good  bet.  Allow  anyone 
three  minutes  on  the  stage  in  an  effort  to  make 
the  audience  laugh.  If  you  get  a  good  announcer 
to  put  this  over,  it  is  sure-fire  audience  stuff. 

Juvenile  (or  Juvenile  Stunts) 

NEWSPAPERS 

TREASURE  HUNT 

The  latest  development  in  treasure  hunts  is 
newspaper  co-operation  in  which  the  newspaper  pro- 
vides daily  clues  in  cross-word  puzzle  form.  An- 
other version  of  this  buries  the  clues  among  the 
individual  ads  in  a  double  truck  co-operative  ad 
page.  This  latter  idea  has  the  advantage  of  get- 
ting revenue  for  the  newspaper  through  the  sale 
of  the  co-operative  page. 


Exploitation  Hints  Every  Day  in  The  Film  Daily 


707 


BIRTHDAY  PARTY 

Here  is  a  seasonal  stunt  that  will  build  children's 
patronage  anywhere.  Arrange  with  newspaper  for 
a  mammoth  birthday  party,  to  be  held  Saturday 
morning  for  a  certain  month.  All  children  with  a 
birthday  during  that  month  are  entitled  to  send 
their  names  with  date  of  birth  to  the  paper.  They 
receive  a  pass  to  the  birthday  party.  Merchants' 
cooperation  can  be  secured  for  distribution  of 
suitable  toys  and  novelties. 

COLORING  ILLUSTRATION 

On  a  merchant's  cooperative  ad  run  in  the 
newspaper,  insert  in  each  ad  a  cut  boosting  the 
picture.  Offer  tickets  to  the  boys  and  girls  for 
the   best   coloring  of   the  illustrations. 

MODEL  MAKING 

Any  film  subject  that  offers  a  chance  for  model 
building  by  boys  is  set  for  a  good  piece  of  ex- 
ploitation involving  a  contest  sponsored  by  the 
theater  or  a  newspaper.  The  contest  should  start 
several  weeks  before  the  film  is  shown,  in  order 
that  a  big  display  of  the  finished  models  will  reap 
the  climax  of  publicity  accorded  the  contest. 
DRAWING  CONTEST 

This  is  an  exceptionally  strong  promotion  idea 
in  building  up  kiddie  interest  so  important  in  the 
theater.  This  idea  is  put  over  more  effectively  on 
Western,  animal  and  historical  stories,  using  the 
Indian's  head,  tiger's  head  and  old  battleship  de 
sign  as  drawing  guides. 

KID  ACTORS 

Before  start  of  a  serial,  tie  up  with  newspaper 
for  publicity  on  unique  photos  of  neighborhood 
kids.  The  latter  are  posed  in  costume,  duplicating 
scenes  from  the  serial,  appearing  as  Indians,  cow- 
boys, etc.  Equipment  can  be  borrowed  from  local 
stores.  These  can  be  played  up  by  the  paper 
with  humorous  captions,  featuring  names  of  the 
young  actors.  All  this  winds  up  with  a  free  show 
for  the  opening  chapter,  the  kids  using  coupons 
printed  in  paper  as  passes. 

LOBBIES 

CIRCUS  ATMOSPHERE 

Have  a  quantity  of  cheap  white  muslin  painted 
up  with  red  vertical  stripes  as  far  apart  as  the 
width  of  the  stripe,  so  as  to  give  the  effect  of  red 
and  white  striped  material.  Take  a  strip  about 
three  feet  wide  and  hang  it  around  the  walls 
of  the  lobby,  with  the  upper  end  against  the  ceiling 
at  the  point  where  it  meets  the  wall.  Have  the 
bottom  of  this  strip  scalloped,  each  scallop  to 
take  in  one  of  the  colors,  so  that  the  scallops  will 
alternate  red  and  white.  If  the  lobby  isn't  too 
large,  the  entire  ceiling  can  be  covered  with  the 
same  material,  with  the  stripes  matching  those 
on  the  walls.  If  ceiling  is  too  large,  stretch  red, 
green  and  yellow  streamers  across  the  lobby. 
The  more  streamers  used,  the  more  "circusy"  the 
atmosphere. 

TREASURE  HUNT 
Locate  a  treasure  chest  in  lobby.  Advertise 
that  during  the  showing  keys  will  be  distributed 
throughout  city,  and  that  one  lucky  key  will  open 
the  lock  of  treasure  chest.  When  opened,  advise 
that  the  chest  will  be  found  to  contain  a  set  of 
silverware (  donated  by  dealer).  The  latter's  name 
appears  in  all  advertising.  The  announcement 
further  states :  "Any  keys — your  key  from  your 
personal  key  ring  may  open  the  lock  of  the 
Treasure  Chest.  Come  and  find  out  if  you  are 
carrying  the  lucky  key."  Here  is  a  good  stunt 
for  getting  new  people  in  your  lobby. 

THEATER  FRONTS 

CIRCUS  FRONT 

An  effective  circus  front  can  be  arranged  with 
two  entrances.  Label  one  "Main  Entrance"  and 
the  other  "Ticket  Wagon."  Paste  clowns  heads 
between  the  spaces.  Over  the  front  run  a  banner 
reading:  "The  Big  Show  Now  Going  On." 
"CIRCUS  WEEK' 

A  ballyhoo  front,  consisting  of  five  big  canvas 
strips  strung  from  the  roof  to  top  of  marquee. 
The  three  center  strips  have  painted  on  them 
faces  or  figures  of  laughing  clowns  in  flashing 
colors.  The  two  end  strips  carry  the  words  in 
enormous  letters:     "CIRCUS  WEEK." 


BALLYHOOS 

BAND  WAGON 

For  a  feature  with  circus  atmosphere.  In  ad- 
vance of  run  send  a  band  wagon  around  town.  The 
ballyhoo  should  carry  a  medicine  man,  a  minstrel 
banjoist  blacked  up,  an  Indian  and  a  hula-girl. 
Plaster  the  wagon  with  banners  in  typical  circus 
style.  The  wagon  stops  at  principal  centers  in  all 
neighborhoods.  A  miniature  performance  is  given 
at  each  stop.  The  "show"  closes  with  an  invita- 
tion to  see  the  main  show  at  the  theater. 

TIE-UPS 

FREE  TICKETS  (For  Serial) 
Distribute  among  merchants  15  tickets  each,  one 
of  these  being  good  for  live  episodes.  The  other 
fourteen  are  good  for  the  first  chapter.  Supply 
the  merchants  with  window  cards,  and  have  the 
tickets  placed  in  individual  attractive  envelopes. 
The  idea  is  that  the  tickets  are  to  be  distributed 
to  customers  by  the  stores  the  day  before  the 
serial  opens.  The  first  15  customers  coming  into 
the  different  stores  are  given  an  envelope  contain- 
ing a  ticket.  The  prize  in  each  case  ot  course  is 
the  five  weeks'  ticket.  Tie  these  merchants  up  in 
a  cooperative  ad,  across  the  top  of  which  is  an

district  compete  in  the  finals.  After  the  winner

to  make  the  affair  a  success.  The  theater  party 
can  be  followed  by  a  banquet  at  the  hotel,  or  a

LOBBIES 
MINIATURE  STAGE 

Build  a  miniature  stage,  with  characters  from 
the  picture  impersonated  by  hand  painted  cut-outs. 
They  are  selected  to  portray  the  big  scene  in  the 
picture.  Stage  decorations  reproduce  the  scene 
as  it  appears  in  the  photoplay. 

BOX    OFFICE  ANGLE 

During  the  engagement  of  a  special  feature, 
open  the  box  office  an  hour  or  two  earlier  than 
usual.  This  will  have  a  psychological  effect.  Inci- 
dentally, the  additional  patronage  will  increase 
the  gross  receipts  of  the  showing.  Also  build 
a  temporary  box  office  of  compo-board  with  signs 
on  it  announcing :  "This  is  to  be  used  to  take 
care  of  the  great  crowds  that  will  see  the  picture."

grenades,  and  all  the  other  paraphernalia  which 
can  be  secured  through  cooperation  of  the  Amer- 
ican Legion  post.  Have  fully  equipped  doughboy

THEATER  FRONTS 

SIDEWALK  TRENCH 

On  a  war  picture,  a  simple  and  effective  front 
can  be  arranged  by  placing  stuffed  sugar  bags 
in  imitation  of  a  trench.  This  can  be  tied  up  with 
the  U.  S.  Army  recruiting  station,  and  lobby 
display  of  war  relics. 

SPECIAL  DISPLAY 

A  giant  shadow  box  made  out  of  beaverboard. 
cloth,  etc.,  size  9  feet  high,  IS  feet  wide  and  4 
feet  deep  placed  on  top  of  marquee.  The  two 
side  wings  and  top  connect  the  front  piece  to 
back  drop  which  is-  painted  to  represent  a  battle 
front.  Some  of  the  "bursting  shells"  are  cut 
out  and  red  gelatine  with  lights  is  placed  at  back, 
being  worked  on  a  flasher.  On  either  side,  con- 
cealed behind  columns,  is  placed  a  bunch  light, 
one  red  and  one  white.    These  are  also  on  flasher 


connected  to  marquee  chaser.  When  the  current 
is  turned  on,  the  display  gives  a  realistic  effect 
of  shells  bursting  and  the  white  bunch  following 
the  red  gives  an  effect  of  a  reflection  from  the 
shells.  Between  the  two  front  columns  in  front 
of  back  drop  place  a  cut-out  of  soldier  in  a  "charg- 
ing" position  with  a  blue  baby  spot  playing  upon 

TIE-UPS 

AMERICAN  LEGION 

War  picture.  Tie  in  with  American  Legion 
Start  campaign  with  an  advance  screening  for  the 
local  branch.  Have  soldiers  march  to  theater  from 
Legion  headquarters,  headed  by  their  band.  The 
band  later  plays  on  the  stage.  Further  tie  up 
with  the  Legion's   Membership  Drive. 

PLACING  STILLS 

An  effective  method  for  placing  stills  at  a  mini- 
mum of  time  and  leg  work.  Send  merchants 
return  postcards  reading:  "Please  send  me  one 
of  the  mounted  photographs  of  (name  of  star) 
in  (picture)  which  I  promise  to  display  in  my 
window  during  the  run  of  the  picture  at  the 
(theater)." 

PRINTED  MATTER 

THEATER  PROGRAMS 

Effective  system  for  securing  100  per  cent  dis- 
tribution of  theater  programs.  Arrange  with  Boy 
Scouts  for  assignment  to  regular  routes  for  house 
to  house  distribution.  Each  of  the  boys  is  re- 
warded with  a  season  pass  for  his  work.  In  this 
way  you  can  reach  a  lot  of  people  who  never  see 
your  ads  in  the  paper,  or  pass  your  theater. 
Local  merchant  advertising  in  the  program  will 
find  it  effective  and  the  ads  will  pay  for  the 
printing. 

EDITORIAL  REPLICA 

Capital  can  be  made  of  a  favorable  editorial 
relating  to  a  current  motion  picture.  The  theatre 
reprints  a  fac-simile  of  the  text  along  with  the 
page  heading  and  uses  it  for  a  throwaway  during 
the   picture's  engagement. 

SPECIAL  STUNTS 

ORGANIZATION  AID 

It's  an  old  stunt,  but  one  that  never  fails  to  get 
the  business.  Line  up  some  local  organization  to 
cooperate  in  selling  tickets,  allowing  the  organiza- 
tion 25  per  cent  of  the  receipts  at  a  special  per- 
formance. In  return  for  this  they  will  sell  tickets 
to  all  their  friends,  and  even  in  house-to-house 
canvass.  Fire  department,  police  department, 
women's  church  auxiliaries,  social  clubs,  etc — all 
are  eager  to  assist  on  this  proposition.  Here  is  one 
of  the  best  goodwill  builders  any  theater  can  use. 
LOCAL  SCOUTS 

Excellent  cooperation  can  be  secured  from  the 
local  scout  organization.  In  lobby,  place  a  large 
still  board  with  lettering:  "Some  of  Our  Own 
Scouts."  The  pictures  shown  should  represent 
scenes  of  local  scout  activities,  camps,  etc.  Use 
Scouts  as  ushers.  Station  Scouts  in  lobby  for 
atmosphere.  Have  a  Scout  make  a  three-minute 
speech  giving  Scout  laws  and  oaths.  Have  the 
organization  members  sell  tickets  on  percentage 
basis,  the  proceeds  to  be  used  for  the  local  Scout 
fund. 

WORD  PRIZE 

To  be  used  on  exceptional  feature.  Offer  a 
prize  for  a  word  to  describe  "something  better 
than  Best."  Make  the  offer  on  the  screen  with  a 
special  trailer  for  a  week  in  advance  of  showing. 
The  word  is  to  be  used  in  connection  with  adver- 
tising of  the  feature.  The  prize  can  be  a  month's 
pass.     Also  use  in  newspaper  advertising. 

TRAFFIC  COP  JUDGES 

With  aid  of  traffic  cops,  this  idea  is  sure-fire. 
They  are  provided  with  passes,  which  they  serve 
on  drivers  who  show  ability  in  handling  their  cars, 
or  who  strictly  observe  the  traffic  regulations.  The 
kick  in  this  stunt  is  that  the  traffic  cop  orders  the 
driver  to  pull  up  to  the  curb.  Then  while  he  is 
wondering  what  he  is  going  to  get  a  ticket  for. 
the  cop  hands  him  the  pass  with  a  smiling  ex- 
planation that  he  has  earned  it  for  good  driving. 
This  stunt  occasionally  worked  i?  a  goodwill 
builder.

HOUSE  CANVASS 

Work  with  the  leaders  of  the  Boy  and  Girl  Scout 
organization,  offering  a  brand  new  scout  outfit  to 
the  member  who  secures  the  largest  list  of  signa- 
tures of  friends  who  signify  their  intention  of  at- 
tending th«  showing  of  the  picture.  Naturally,  the 
great  majority  of  these  people  will  not  attend  the 
showing  but  the  scout  canvass  is  sure  to  build 
up  interest  in  the  attraction. 

TRAFFIC  WARNING 

Use  on  big  feature.  Handbills  are  printed  in 
red,  headed  "Traffic  Warning!"  The  copy  an- 
nounces a  coming  traffic  jam  around  the  theater, 
and  advises  patrons  to  be  guided  accordingly. 
This  serves  warning  of  the  proposed  attraction 
which    is  mentioned.

the  contest  for  boys.  A  list  of  western  words  is 
printed  such  as  "rangers,"  "hog-tied,"  "cache," 
"pinto,"  etc.  These  words  of  the  cowboys'  lingo 
are  to  be  properly  identified  with  definitions.  Here 
is  a  good  feature  for  a  newspaper,  for  the  boys 
who  follow  the  Western's  closely  pride  themselves 
on  their  knowledge  of  range  language.  Passes  to 
the  show  are  issued  for  correct  answers. 

LOBBIES 
COVERED  WAGON 

To  be  used  on  a  western  of  pioneer  days.  A 
large  cutout  can  be  designed  to  cover  the  front 
of  your  box-office.  With  the  aid  of  compo  board, 
heavy  wire  and  muslin,  make  a  flat  that  suggests 
the  front  or  rear  end  of  a  prairie  schooner.  Only 
the  ticket  window  is  visible  through  the  opening 
that  would  normally  be  the  entrance  to  the  wagon. 
The  muslin,  drawn  over  a  wire  frame,  imparts  a 
realistic  effect  to  the  idea.  Have  your  artist  paint 
the  lower  portion  of  the  wagon  on  compo  board 
which  will  include  the  details  of  wheels,  chassis, 
etc.  The  atmosphere  can  be  heightened  with  cut- 
outs mounted  on  compo  of  an  Indian  and  a  pioneer 
placed  on  either  side  of  covered  wagon. 

WESTERN  ATMOSPHERE

mounted  on  compo  board  and  cut  out.  On  the 
opposite  wall,  have  a  large  cut-out,  full  size  of  the 
villain  of  the  picture  or  a  horse  (if  that  adapts 
itself  to  the  picture).  Place  a  lasso  of  heavy 
ply  rope  or  lash-line,  around  the  horse's  neck, 
or  the  villain,  as  the  case  may  be,  and  the  other 
end  in  the  hand  of  the  hero  at  the  opposite  side 
of  the  lobby.  Some  slack  should  be  left  on  the 
end  of  the  rope  in  the  hero's  hand.  On  the  rope 
thus  stretching  across  the  lobby,  can  be  hung 
cards  carrying  copy  pertaining  to  the  picture.  At- 
mospheric displays  should  be  used  in  advance  for 
the  lobby  and  transferred  to  the  marquee  on  the 
play  date  of  the  picture. 

BALLYHOOS 

COWBOY  RIDER 

The  old  standby  of  a  street  flash  with  a  cow-

can  always  be  obtained  by  contrasting  old  weapons 
with  the  latest  rifle  model.  Tie  up  some  particular 
weapon  as  identical  with  the  type  used  by  the  star 
in  feature.

LOBBIES 

BOX-OFFICE  DECORATIONS 

Converting  the  box-office  to  carry  over  the  theme 
ot  the  picture  is  always  an  eye-arrester,  and  can  be 
accomplished  at  a  small  expense.  It  gets  over  the 
siory  of  the  feature  with  a  punch,  in  most  cases 
it  requires  nothing  more  than  a  few  boards  properly 
constructed  and  painted,  and  a  few  props  to  carry 
out  the  atmosphere.  Among  the  many  effective 
box-omce  disguises  are  a  log  cabin,  sheriff's  office, 
trading  post,  mining  hut,  hunting  lodge,  pilot 
house,  railroad  or  steamship  ticket  office,  Russian 
kiosk,  South  Sea  Island  hut,  circus  side-show, 
country  store.  The  ticket  seller  should  be  dressed 
to  carry  out  the  idea  of  the  particular  setting.  A 
man  stationed  alongside  the  box-office,  also  in 
appropriate  costume,  can  ballyhoo  the  attraction. 
SOUTH    SEA   ISLE  ATMOSPHERE 

This  caption  covers  pictures  laid  on  an  island 
or  those  in  which  there  is  a  sequence  of  a  ship- 
wrecked person  or  persons  landing  on  an  island. 
Get  a  quantity  of  inexpensive  palm  leaves  and 
place  four  or  five  behind  or  above  each  of  your 
wall  frames.  If  you  have  no  wall  frames,  make 
up  two  long  strings  of  green  twine,  winding  the 
strings  around  the  stems  of  the  palm  leaves,  and 
stretch  the  strings  from  one  corner  of  the  lobby 
to  the  diagonally  opposite  one,  thus  having  both 
strings  cross  in  the  centre  of  the  lobby.  The 
leaves  can  be  intermingled  with  cut-out  leaves 
on  cardboard  painted  green,  with  copy  in  white 
letters,  pertaining  to  the  picture,  star  and  play 
dates.  • 

HANDKERCHIEF  STUNT 

Theaters  presenting  features  with  plenty  of 
pathos  can  get  a  big  kick  out  of  the  following 
idea :  Place  large  clothes  basket  in  front  of  box 
office  with  sign  telling  patrons  that  after  seeing 
picture,  if  they  will  deposit  their  handkerchiefs  in 
basket  with  slip  containing  their  names  attached, 
manager  will  have  them  laundered  and  delivered 
to  their  homes. 

ELECTRIC  ANVIL 

Use  on  film  with  industrial  setting.  Put  a 
blacksmith  to  work  in  the  lobby.  The  smithy, 
attired  in  work  clothes,  pounds  an  electrically 
charged  anvil  which  gives  off  huge  sparks.  A 
posterboard  with  stills  showing  the  industrial  angle 
of  feature  stands  alongside. 

SPECIAL  BOBS 

Arrange  with  beauty  parlor  for  loan  of  a  barber's 
chair  and  services  of  an  attendant.  She  is  present 
for  an  hour  in  afternoon  and  evening,  giving  a 
free  bob  to  patrons,  the  bob  being  specially  named 
for  the  star  of  picture.  Card  in  lobby  and  an- 
nouncement from  stage  gives  the  beauty  parlor 
proper  publicity  for  cooperation. 

ORIENTAL  ATMOSPHERE 

For  a  picture  with  Oriental  setting.  Decorate 
lobby  and  marquee  with  Japanese  lanterns  hung 
from  all  light  fixtures.  Also  hang  Japanese  art 
panels  and  parasols.  Place  an  incense  burner 
in  the  foyer,  which  will  do  more  than  anything 
else  to  create  the  desired  effect. 

SHADOW  BOX 

Use  a  shadow  box  illuminated  from  within. 
In  the  box  place  a  small  figure  or  attractive 
illustration  of  a  beautiful  girl.  A  still  from  the 
picture  can  also  be  used,  showing  the  star  in  some 
interesting  pose.  The  public  views  this  through 
a  circular  plate  glass  peephole. 

SILK  CHEMISE 

Use  on  feature  showing  a  boudoir  scene.  A 
week  in  advance  of  showing  display  a  silk  chemise 
in  lobby  without  any  mention  of  what  it  is  all 
about.  Patrons  surmise  that  someone  has  lost 
it  while  shopping,  and  that  the  management  hung 
it  up  to  be  identified  and  claimed.  A  few  days 
before  the  opening  a  card  is  hung  alongside,  an- 
nouncing that  it  is  similar  to  the  one  worn  by  the 
star  in  the  coming  attraction.  A  suitable  still  ties 
this  up. 

JAZZ  WEEK 
Jazz  Week  or  Charleston  Week  has  boosted 
the  box-office  profits  of  theaters  all  over  the 
country.  The  lobby  has  assisted  greatly  in  pre- 
senting this  promotion  feature.  Color  scheme  of 
decorations  are  orange  and  black,  using  bunting, 
streamers    in    criss-cross    formation — zigzag  illu- 


717 


strations  on  lobby  card  displays,  also  painted 
orange  and  black  with  numerous  other  colors. 
Entire  lobby  theater  front  should  resemble  a  zig- 
zag appearance  in  keeping  with  appearance  inside. 
MODEL  AIRPLANE 
Rig  up  an  airplane  of  beaver  board  about  five 
feet  long  and  three  feet  wide.  A  large  electric 
fan  in  the  rear  turns  the  propellers.  The  latter 
strike  a  piece  of  stiff  cardboard  attached  close  by, 
and  this  gives  the  droning  sound  of  a  flying 
'plane. 

JUNGLE  SCENE 

For  picture  with  tropical  atmosphere.  To  give 
necessary  tropical  atmosphere,  install  greenery 
loaned  by  neighborhood  florist.  By  artistic  ar- 
rangement of  potted  plants  and  vines,  the  lobby 
can  be  changed  into  a  veritable  jungle.  One  or 
two  small  stuffed  monkeys  peering  through  the 
shrubbery  will  heighten  the  effect.  Makes  a  «"ool 
lobby  for  summer  showing. 

CEILING  CARDS 

For  decorating  lobby,  small  lettered  signs  with 
short  and  snappy  catchlines  on  the  attraction, 
strung  from  the  ceiling,  afford  a  cheap  and  at- 
tractive display. 

STREAMERS 

Here  is  a  simple  but  very  striking  stunt  that 
can  be  applied  to  any  variety  of  feature.  Place 
cutout  of  star  on  wall  of  lobby  opposite  box- 
office.  Place  a  large  compo  board  sign  above 
box-office.  On  this  sign  is  a  single  word  in  heavy 
black  lettering  on  the  white  board  reading  "Sensa- 
tion." "Gorgeous."  "Thrills." — or^any  other  one 
word  that  typifies  the  picture.  Connect  this  sign 
with  red  streamers  running  to  the  cutout  of  star. 
Here  is  an  effective  eye-smash  that  is  bound  to 
attract. 

GIANT  TELEGRAM 

When  the  theater  manager  decides  to  extend 
run  of  picture  have  wire  sent  from  the  territorial 
branch  manager  of  the  producing  company  request- 
ing copy  about  the  sacrifice  made  in  order  to 
allow  the  local  theater  owner  to  retain  print  for 
an  additional  run.  This  telegram  to  be  enlarged 
by  local  sign  shop  to  measurements  of  ten  to 
fourteen  feet.  Display  to  be  placed  over  theater 
front   or  over  marquee. 

NOVEL  SHADOW  BOX 

A  striking  six  sheet  enclosed  in  a  shadow  box. 
Drape  box  in  black,  and  equip  with  a  scrim  screen 
in  front.  Use  blue  and  green  lights,  and  keep 
them  alternating  by  means  of  a  special  plug.  Turn 
off  lobby  lights,  and  the  flashing  lights  from  the 
shadow  box  will  make  an  attractive  display. 
WINDMILL 

A  good  lobby  flash.  In  center  of  lobby  place 
a  revolving  windmill  operated  by  small  motor. 
At  night  the  wings  are  illuminated  with  red  sign 
lights.  A  large  sign  alongside  carries  announce- 
ment that  any  patron  who  happens  to  be  at  the 
box-office  window  when  the  windmill  stops,  will  be 
admitted  free.  An  electric  attachment  can  be 
made  that  will  control  the  device  so  that  the  cash- 
ier can  stop  and  start  the  windmill  at  her  discre- 
tion. This  is  a  hummer  if  properly  worked,  giving 
some  patron  an  occasional  "break." 

ANIMATED  SHADOW  BOX 

A  very  effective  display  with  action  can  be  se- 
cured at  nominal  cost  with  the  following  idea : 
Secure  compoboard  box  closed  in  on  front  side 
with  glass.  Top  and  bottom  are  made  of  wire 
screen.  Box  is  about  4  feet  high,  3  feet  wide  and 
1  foot  deep.  Mount  box  on  legs  about  18  inches 
long.  Underneath  box  place  a  12-inch  oscillating 
fan.  lOn  the  inside  against  the  back  place  small 
cutouts  on  the  feature.  Place  in  box  two  small 
packs  of  confetti  and  finally  chopped  cigarette 
paper.  Air  from  the  fan  comes  up  through  the 
screen  at  bottom  of  box,  blowing  the  confetti 
violently  through  the  open  space  in  the  box.  The 
air  exhausts  itself  through  the  screen  at  the  top 
of  the  box  and  carries  with  it  a  part  of  the  con- 


fetti which  lodges  against  the  screen.  As  the  fan 
oscillates,  the  wind  pressure  is  relieved,  and  the 
confetti  again  drops  to  the  bottom  of  the  box. 
Again  the  fan  oscillates  and  the  confetti  goes 
through  the  same  process.  Here  is  a  perfect  at- 
tention-getter that  will  stop  them  in  their  tracks. 
DESERT  ATMOSPHERE 

For  exploiting  a  desert  or  sheik  picture,  use  a 
small  tent,  with  spears,  carpets,  incense  burner, 
etc.  This  can  be  ballyhooed  with  a  man  or  girl 
dressed  in  appropriate  costume. 

THE  SILVER  SHEET 

An  attractive  and  catchy  way  to  advertise 
every  feature  in  advance.  On  silver-coated  paper 
have  artist  letter  in  under  the  caption  "The  Silver 
Sheet"  an  appropriate  announcement  of  the  com- 
ing attraction  on  the  theater's  "silver  sheet." 
Have  poster  about  two  by  three  feet,  mounted  in 
a  neat  frame.  This  can  be  made  a  standard  lobby 
feature  for  advertising  all  coming  attractions. 
NEW    POSTER  ANGLE 

Place  on  floor  of  outer  or  inner  lobby,  face  up. 
a  mounted  six  sheet.  Rope  off  display  to  keep 
people  from  walking  on  it.  Have  spot  light  from 
the  ceiling  pointing  directly  down  on  poster.  This 
is  a  unique  manner  of  presenting  lithos  and  will 
cause  them  to  stop  and  look. 

ANIMATED  CUTOUT 

Make  a  cutout  from  24-sheet  of  a  feature  show- 
ing a  girl  in  ballet  costume.  Fix  up  "kicking"  leg 
so  that  it  moves  up  and  down  on  a  peg.  Have  a 
clock-work  mechanism  operate  the  "ballet  dance." 
Any  theater  employee  mechanically  inclined  can 
easilv  make  this  simple  device. 

LOCOMOTIVE  CUT-OUT 

For  railroad  story.  Use  large  beaverboard  cut- 
out painted  to  repesent  a  locomotive  at  full  speed. 
The  bumper  of  the  engine  instead  of  being  painted 
is  made  out  of  strips  and  extended  out  from  the 
cutout.  On  each  side  of  engine  place  signal 
electric  lights,  green  and  red.  Place  a  headlight 
in  front  with  a  strong  light,  which  shines  out  on 
street.  Here  is  a  splendid  night  stunt  with  all 
lights  out  in  lobby  except  the  three  lights  on 
display. 

DANCING  GIRL 

Use  cutout  of  a  dancing  figure  in  the  picture. 
Have  one  of  the  legs  of  the  cutout  disjointed  in 
such  a  manner  that  it  can  be  mechanically  op- 
erated to  represent  the  swinging  leg  of  a  dancer. 
This  leg  is  attached  to  a  small  clock  device  so 
that  the  figure  appears  to  be  constantly  dancing. 
The  figure  can  be  made  very  attractive  with  the 
addition  of  a  ballet  skirt,  hula  costume,  or  any- 
thing that  will  carry  the  atmosphere  of  the  feature. 
CARD  CUTTING 

On  feature  with  gambling  background.  Have  a 
girl  seated  at  small  card  table  with  pack  of 
cards.  She  offers  a  free  ticket  to  the  person  who 
can  cut  the  deck  to  an  ace  the  first  time.  There 
are  only  two  aces  in  the  deck,  so  the  number 
of  lucky  ones  is  limited.  Used  as  a  stunt  just 
in  advance  of  showing,  it  means  quick  publicity. 
If  the  girl  is  clever,  she  can  talk  up  the  picture 
while  handling   the  cards. 

HANDKERCHIEF  STUNT 

Theaters  presenting  features  with  plenty  of 
pathos  can  get  a  big  kick  out  of  the  following 
idea :  Place  large  clothes  basket  in  front  of  box 
office  with  sign  telling  patrons  that  after  seeing 
picture,  if  they  will  deposit  their  handkerchiefs  in 
basket  with  slip  containing  their  names  attached, 
manager  will  have  them  laundered  and  delivered 
to  their  homes. 

INSURANCE  NOTICE 

To  get  over  tremendous  thrill  angle  in  oicture. 
place  large  three-sheet  poster  display  in  lobby 
announcing  that  insurance  company  cancelled 
policy  on  the  star  because  of  the  risk  taken  during 
certain  scenes  or  a  statement  to  the  effect  that  an 
excessive    sum   was   necessary   to   obtain   the  big

policy  of  star  on  account  of  dangers  taken  in 
filming  the  picture. 

THEATER  FRONTS 

PHOTOGRAPHIC  REPRODUCTIONS 

Goodwill  of  newspaper  and  the  reviewer  can 
be  gained  by  featuring  any  favorable  comment 
on  a  picture  or  concerning  the  conduct  of  your 
theater  which  the  paper  has  published.  Have  the 
comments  photographically  reproduced  on  the 
largest  sign  possible,  to  extend  across  front  of 
house. 

MIRROR  SIGN 

A  sign  for  day  and  night  advertising  to  be 
laced  on  theater  front.  Cut  out  letters  of  picture 
title  and  back  them  up  with  frames.  Small  mir- 
rors are  fastened  on  letters  and  a  spot  light  is 
placed  on  outer  end  of  marquee.  When  the 
spotlight  is  thrown  on  "mirrored"  sign,  practically 
the  same  effect  as  electric  lights  is  obtained.  The 
mirrors  cost  about  40  cents  a  dozen  and  the  en- 
tire  sign   will   not   cost  over  $7. 

ICE   CAKE  STUNT 

Get  the  local  ice  company  to  make  up  a  special 
cake  of  ice  from  distilled  water.  In  this  is  frozen 
a  bouquet  of  flowers  ,with  a  tin  sign  which  carries 
the  title  of  the  picture.  This  can  be  varied  by  a 
tie-up  with  a  local  dealer,  who  displays  the  ice 
cake  in  his  window,  with  one  of  his  merchandise 
articles  frozen  in  the  cake. 

CARNIVAL  NIGHT 

On  Parisian  picture,  or  one  with  a  carnival 
setting,  use  the  "Carnival  Night,"  the  front  of 
house  being  decorated  in  the  carnival  spirit.  String 
Japanese  lanterns  under  marquee,  with  75  watt 
colored  globes.  Throw  serpentine  paper  from  roof 
to  marquee,  and  from  marquee  to  lobby  cards. 
Two  flood  lights  attached  to  flasher  throw  light  on 
decorations.  With  the  help  of  high  school  students, 
a  carnival  parade  can  be  engineered,  those  appear- 
ing in  costume  being  admitted  free. 

NET  BANNER 

An  effective  banner  to  hang  across  street  in 
front  of  theater  can  be  secured  at  slight  expense 
through  use  of  tennis  netting.  The  title  of  the 
picture  is  cut  out  of  the  24-sheet,  and  the  letters 
strung  separately. 

SYMBOLIC  CUT-OUTS 

Symbolic  cut-outs  are  very  effective.  By  that 
is  meant  the  following: 

(a)  When  playing  a  picture  with  an  Irish 
theme  or  an  Irish-Jewish  theme,  large  shamrocks 
from  20"  to  24"  in  diameter,  painted  green  on 
both  sides  can  be  used.  On  one  side  can  be 
mounted  a  head  of  the  star  (cut-out  from  poster 
paper)  and  on  the  other,  copy  pertaining  to  the 
picture.  If  desired,  copy  can  be  used  on  both 
sides,  to  save  the  cost  of  mounting  the  head. 
Twelve  to  eighteen  of  these  make  a  very  fine 
display,  (b)  When  playing  a  Western,  nooses  can 
be  made  from  heavy-ply  rope,  similar  to  the  rope 
used  for  lassoing,  each  noose  to  be  from  20"  to  24" 
in  diameter.  The  shape  of  the  noose  can  be  made 
and  retained,  by  first  making  a  frame  of  the  noose 
with  invisible  wire.  To  this  frame  the  rope  can 
be  fastened.  A  head  of  the  star  of  the  picture 
hung  in  the  centre  of  the  noose  makes  a  very 
effective  display,  and  on  the  reverse  side  of  these 
heads  can  be  painted  copy  pertaining  to  the  pic- 
ture. If  heads  are  not  desired,  a  very  neat  cir- 
cular card  can  he  made  and  hung  inside  the  noose, 
this  card  hearing  the  desired  copy.  Twelve  to 
eighteen  of  these  should  be  used,  (c)  For  an  auto- 
mobile story  use  miniature  automobile  tires,  not 
more  than  24"  in  diameter  (if  available),  painted 
with  a  white  tire  paint,  with  a  head  of  the  star 
hung  in  the  centre  or  a  circular  sign.  If  a  head 
is  used,  copy  pertaining  to  the  picture  can  be 
painted  on  the  reverse  side.  Tf  the  circular  card  is 
used,  copy  can  he  placed  on  both  sides.  Tf  the 
rubber  tires  are  not  available,  profile  tires  can  be 
cut  out  of  compo  or  beaver  board,  and  painted  to 
look  like  the  real  thing.

ing colors,  such  as  blue  background,  with  red  and 
white  lettering. 

CUT-OUT  HEADS 

When  the  star  of  the  picture  is  well-known, 
smiling-face  heads  cut  from  the  advertising  paper, 
mounted  on  compo  or  beaver  board  and  cut-out, 
make  a  very  attractive  dispaly  hung  around  under 
the  marquee,  with  the  faces  out.  The  reverse  side 
of  these  heads  can  be  painted  a  solid  color,  and 
copy  pertaining  to  the  picture  lettered  thereon. 
The  heads  should  not  be  larger  than  18"  or  20"

of  these  heads  should  be  used  in  assorted  poses, 
if  possible. 

TEMPORARY  MARQUEE 

Theaters  that  do  not  have  marquees  can  put 
over  an  exceptionally  strong  flash  by  erecting 
a  temporary  marquee.  This  structure  resembles 
the  regular  marquee  of  the  theater,  only  that  it 
has  two  up-rights  extending  from  curb  holding  up 
the  frame-work  made  from  laths  and  light  stock  in 
trellis  design.  This  to  be  painted  white  or  light

stands  on  the  sides  and  run  car  over  several  lines 
leading  in  and  out  of  the  city.  If  you  do  not 
wish  to  use  large  billboards  use  panels  on  side 
with  cutouts  from  the  one  and  three  sheets  pasted 
on  windows  to  resemble  people.  Give  these  lithos 
a  coat  of  glycerine  so  that  at  night  when  lights

another  car,  doing  the  same  stunt  over  again.

inent location.  She  makes  sketches  on  a  board

pretty  bathing  girls  near  a  busy  thoiouglilai  e.

mitted free  to  opening  performance  which  begins 
on  their  arrival  at  the  theater. 

AUTO  TRUCK 

Here  is  an  economical  way  of  building  an  auto 
truck  ballyhoo  instead  of  going  to  the  expense  of

to  rent,  and  place  on  it  a  canvas  sign  sufficiently 
long  to  cover  entire  length,  and  wide  enough 
to  reach  from  ten  inches  above  the  ground  to  al- 
most the  top  of  the  driver's  canopy.  A  cut-out 
from  the  sheet  of  the  star  is  mounted  in  the 
middle  of  the  sign  in  such  a  manner  that  the  top 
of  the  figure  is  fully  four  feet  above  the  top  of 
the  sign.  Word  matter  on  the  sign  gives  title

THE  SAND  TRAIL 

Years  ago,  Barnum  created  a  sensation  by  his 
brick-laying  stunt.  A  man  laying  on  sidewalk 
one  brick  after  another,  trail  leading  to  theater. 
The  same  idea  can  be  worked  with  sand  pro- 
moting features  having  desert  locale.  Man  dressed 
in  native  garb  carrying  pail  of  sand  and  small 
trowel.  On  pail  is  sign  "From  the  Land  of  the

five  windows  on  each  side.  In  windows  place  22 
x  28  photos  of  the  stars  and  players.  Across  sides 
of  bus  at  top  place  signs  reading :  "We  Are  On

the  windows.

postcards  carrying  endorsement  copy  of  the  pic- 
ture. Give  a  special  preview  screening  to  the

weight.

summer  showing  of  bathing  picture.  Get  over 
ideas  in  all  publicity  that  the  star  of  picture  favors 
this  particular  drink.  A  still  will  effectively  tie 
this  up.  Before  picture  starts,  flash  notice  on 
the  screen  that  the  star  prefers  this  drink,  and  then 
state :  "Please  accept  a  bottle  with  compliments 
of  the  theater."  The  ushers  serve  the  drink 
as  the  picture  starts.  The  bottling  company  should

printing.

as  soon  as  the  telegram  is  received.  The  store 
christens  the  lamp  after  the  name  of  star  or

from  the  blower  located  at  bottom  of  display  to 
the  top,  causes  the  snow  to  fall.  The  fans  keep 
the  snow  whirling,  and  the  vacuum  cleaner  picks 
it  up  and  shoots  it  into  the  blower.  The  display  is 
made  very  effective  at  night  with  concealed  lights, 
showing  the  moving  figures  in  the  midst  of  the 
snowstorm. 

SOAP  LETTERING 

Secure  the  services  of  a  local  letterer  for  at 
least  a  half  a  day,  instructing  him  to  mark  with 
soap  preparation,  billing  of  picture  on  windows 
of   empty    store  locations.     This   soap  substance 


721 


is  now  used  by  many  of  the  barber  shops  making 
announcements  on  their  mirrors. 

NAME  CARDS 

Arrange  with  dealer  for  novel  display  of  twenty 
or  thirty  cards.  Each  card  contains  the  name 
of  some  local  resident.  Upon  properly  identifying 
themselves  at  the  store,  they  receive  a  pass.  This 
is  a  good  publicity  stunt  for  the  dealer,  as  it  keeps 
a  crowd  of  people  constantly  scanning  the  window 
to  see  if  they  can  discover  their  names. 

SNOW  SETTINGS 
Films  of  the  Far  North  containing  snow  scenes, 
offer  splendid  opportunities  for  window  dress  or 
tying  up  with  fur  stores, — enclosed  window  to 
contain  snow  scene  background  rilled  with  snow 
floss,  which  is  blown  around  window  in  hurricane 
manner  by  fans.  Display  to  be  sprinkled  with 
snow   stills   from   the  picture. 

MONEY  BAGS 
This  stunt  is  good  for  any  picture  with  a  money 
atmosphere.  Secure  a  window  in  the  business  sec- 
tion, and  fill  it  with  money  bags  borrowed  from 
the  bank.  The  bags,  bearing  the  bank's  ad,  are 
labeled  "$50,"  "$100."  "$500,"  etc.  Stuff  them 
with  paper  to  look  like  the  real  thing.  A  window 
card  ties  up  with  the  showing. 

PEEP-HOLE 

Have  the  window  of  a  vacant  store  completely 
whitewashed,  except  for  the  space  for  a  small  an- 
nouncement card.  This  contains  just  sufficient 
copy  to  arouse  curiosity  and  cause  passers-by  to 
look  through  peep-hole  in  the  center  of  the  win- 
dow. Inside  is  seen  a  large  painting  of  the  star, 
a  cutout,  or  any  other  display  that  will  prove  at- 
tractive on  the  picture. 

BOOK  DISPLAY 

On  any  feature  adapted  from  a  popular  novel, 
you  can  readily  tie  in  with  book  and  drug  stores 
by  securing  window  in  empty  store  near  theater 
and  filling  it  with  copies  of  the  novel.  Have 
card  in  window  listing  names  of  stores  where  the 
book  is  for  sale. 

ANIMATED  SIGN 

In  merchant's  window  place  an  easel  carrying 
a  beaver  board  three  by  four  feet.  A  pretty  girl 
is  stationed  in  window  to  operate  this  animated 
sign.  Cutout  letters  12  inches  high,  made  of 
colored  cardboard,  are  pinned  on  the  board  by 
the  girl  till  the  title  of  the  picture  is  spelled  out. 
Below  the  easel  is  a  sign  tieing  up  with  the  the- 
ater. This  can  be  varied  with  other  signs  ad- 
vertising the  dealer's  products,  also  stills  and  copy 
about  the  feature.  While  the  public  is  reading 
these,  the  girl  picks  the  cardboard  letters  from  the 
first   sign,   and   repeats  the  performance. 

OLD  PHOTOS 

Several   films   have  been   materially   boosted  by 
a  collection  of  old  daguerreotypes  used  as  a  win- 
dow display  tying  up  with  some  feature  of  the  film. 
BOY  ARTIST 

A  "personal  appearance"  of  a  boy  artist  in  a 
department  store  window  making  sketches  of  a 
film  star  and  scenes  from  her  picture  is  the  result 
of  co-operation  between  the  book  department  of 
the  store  and  the  theater.  Crowds  will  watch  the 
"child  prodigy"  at  work. 

BALLOONS 

Tie-up  with  dealer  by  placing  varied  colored 
balloons  blown  up  in  his  window.  On  balloons 
place  single  letter  from  title  of  picture,  using  as 
many  balloons  as  there  are  letters  in  the  title. 
These  balloons  are  blown  in  various  directions  by 
two  fans.  Card  in  window  offers  theater  tickets 
to  persons  guessing  title  of  picture.  Place  scene 
stills  from  the  picture  around  the  window  as  an 
aid  of  identification   to  passers-by. 

DE    LUXE  PHOTOS 

De  luxe  photographs  of  stars  are  becoming 
more  and  more  in  demand  by  down-town  jewelers, 
who  also  are  receptive  to  a  refined  tie-up  with 
the  theater.  The  use  of  silver  frames  for  these 
portraits  is  distinctly  to  the  theater's  advantage. 

PRINTED  MATTER 

LONG-DISTANCE  PATRONS 

Send  out  post-cards  to  patrons  living  in  the 
suburbs,  offering  suitable  reward  to  the  person 
coming  the  longest  distance  to  see  the  picture  ad- 
vertised.     They    must    bring    the    post-card  with 


them.  This  will  serve  as  identification.  Also 
have  sign  in  lobby  so  that  persons  not  receiving 

cards   can   pass   in   their  address. 

GOLD  DUST 
A  novel  publicity  stunt  that  costs  little,  to  be 
used  on  picture  with  a  gold  mine  sequence  or 
western  mining  atmosphere.  In  small  envelope 
place  gilt  paint  in  powdered  form  mixed  with 
fine  sand  to  represent  gold  dust.  A  card  in  en- 
velope carries  appropriate  copy  tying  the  "gold 
dust"   up   with  feature. 

DOOR  TAGS 

Print  the  following  copy  on  several  thousand 
oidinary    tags    used    for    shipping    bundles,  etc. 

"Closed — have  gone  to  see    at  the   

theater."  When  attaching  tags  to  store  doors, 
use  elastics.  Use  red  ink — it  gets  greater  attention 
value.  Distribution  to  be  made  early  Sunday 
morning,  so  that  tags  remain  on  store  doors  in 
full  view  of  passersby  all  day  Sunday. 

MISSPELLED  WORDS 

Here  is  a  good  house  organ  stunt.  Line  up  a 
lot  of  merchants  for  ads  in  the  house  organ,  and 
have  many  misspelled  words  in  the  copy.  Offer 
free  tickets  to  the  persons  who  find  the  greatest 
number  of  misspelled  words,  and  who  submit  the 
correct  spelling.  Distribute  the  house  organ  from 
house  to  house. 

AROUSING  CURIOSITY 

Use  novelty  envelope  stunt,  regulation  letters 
size.  On  envelope  is  printed  :  "What  Every  Wom- 
an Craves.!  (Information  Inside)."  The  insert 
slip  reads :  "To  see  (name  of  star)  in  (picture 
and   play  dates)." 

NAMES   OF  HERALDS 

Novelty  herald,  carrying  advertising  of  picture 
on  front,  and  on  the  other  side  spaces  for  names 
and  addresses.  Advertise  in  local  paper  that  any 
child  under  16  who  obtains  enough  names  and 
addresses  on  herald  to  fill  it  is  entitled  to  a  free 
pass.  Names'  thus  obtained  become  a  valuable 
mailing  list. 

AUTO  SUMMONS 

Secure  regular  form  of  summons  given  to  auto- 
ists  for  traffic  violations.  Print  up  a  similar 
summons  in  burlesque  form  containing  such  copy 
as  :"You  are  hereby  summoned  to  appear  before 
manager  of  the    Theater,  for  failure  to  at- 

tend,  you   will   be  doomed   to  the  class  of  lost 
opportunities."    Have  boys  go  around  placing  these 
in  automobiles,  while  the  people  are  attending  the 
theaters.     This  is  a   fertile  class  of  patronage. 
ISCORE  CARDS 

Distribute  special  score  cards  at  the  ball  game. 
Besides  carrying  copy  on  your  coming  attraction, 
the  score  cards  contains  a  coupon  bearing  num- 
ber which  is  torn  off  and  dropped  in  box  at 
entrance  to  ball  park.  At  the  end  of  seventh  in- 
ning, the  umpire  announces  the  winning  numbers 
which  entitle  the  holders  to  two  tickets  to  theater. 
The  number  on  coupon  corresponds  to  number 
on  score  card,  so  it  is  easy  to  check  up. 
MISSING  LETTER 

Select  name  of  picture  of  star  that  does  not 
exceed  six  letters.  Print  these  separately  on  sets 
of  cards.  For  instance,  if  the  star  Tom  Mix  was 
selected,  the  first  card  would  read :  "M  stands 
for  the  first  letter  of  Mix."  An  explanation  of 
the  stunt  follows,  with  announcement  of  show- 
ing. Place  a  big  letter  "M"  at  left  of  card.  At 
bottom  print :  "Save  this  card !  If  you  get  the 
complete  set  of  three  letters,  you  will  be  admitted 

free  to  see   etc." 

COLORED  GLASSES 

Card  throwaways  with  small  green  isinglass 
glasses  are  inexpensive,  and  can  apply  to  almost 
any  showing.  The  cards  measure  about  two 
inches  in  width.  Caption  on  cards-  reads:  "All 
eyes  will  be  on  (name  of  star)  in  (picture)  which 

opens    at  the   ■  theater." 

BLARNEY  STONE 

Use  on  Irish  features.  Distribute  small  en- 
velopes containing  pebbles.  A  card  enclosed  car- 
ries a  message  to  the  effect  that  the  pebble  is  a 
piece  of  the  Blarney  Stone,  and  by  kissing  the 
stone  you  can  make  your  sweetheart  believe  any- 
thing, "especially  if  you  take  him  or  her  to  see 
(name   of  feature.)" 


722 


"BLUE  RIBBON"  LETTER 

To  be  used  only  on  an  outstanding  production 
of  recognized  merit.  Circularize  a  mailing  list 
with  a  ^d'a^rially  signed  and  aduresseu  ;ettci. 
The  manager  signs  each  letter.  Alongside  his 
signature  is  a  gold  monogrammed  seal  which  holds 

J  a  blue  ribbon.  The  letter  states  that  only  once 
a  year  will  they  receive  such  an  announcement, 
on  a  picture  which  the  theater  indorses  in  every 
way.  The  whole  tone  of  the  letter  carries  out 
the  thought  that  here  is  an  exceptional  picture  that 
they  will  not  want  to  miss.  The  idea  of  the  seal 
insures   this   letter    being  read. 

DOUBLE  VALUE  FOR  HERALDS 
Instead  of  sending  out  the  usual  mailing  mes- 

i  sage  to  your  patrons  in  letter  or  post  card  form, 
take  advantage  of  the  pictorial  importance  of  the 
regular  herald,  by  printing  your  letter  on  the 
back  page  which  is  usually  alloted  for  the  billing 
of  the  picture.  An  ad  could  also  be  sold  on  tke 
back  page  to  local  advertiser.  This  will  defray 
the    cost    of  distribution. 

HERALDS  FOR  DEALERS 
Use  regular  stock  heralds  for  distribution  by 
such  dealers  as  bakeries,  laundries,  dry  cleaning 
establishments,  etc.,  to  be  placed  in  the  packages 
leaving  their  establishments.  Divide  the  blank 
space  on  the  last  page  of  heralds  between  the 
dealer  and  the  theater  for  advertising.  Heralds 
should  be  distributed  this  way  for  a  week  in 
advance    of   play  date. 

HAND-WRITTEN  LETTER 
For  a  select  mailing  list  use  a  hand-written  let- 
ter on  a  good  grade  of  note  paper.  The  letter  is 
written  in  a  confidential  tone,  signed  merely  with 
a  girl's  first  name,  as  if  writing  to  a  friend.  The 
letter  states  that  the  writer  has  seen  the  picture 
on  a  recent  trip  to  New  York  (or  any  other  large 
city),  and  by  all  means  to  see  it  when  it  plays 
at   the  local  theater  next  week.     Use  this  on  a 

I  feature  society  drama,  and  comment  on  exceptional 
work  of  star. 

MOVIE  MENU 

Print  an  attractive  card  in  the  form  of  a  dinner 
menu,  entitle  "Movie  Menu."  This  lists  the  vari- 
|  ous  units  on  the  program  from  overture  to  feature 
like  a  menu.  The  first  course  is  the  overture  and 
the  final  course  the  feature.  An  inexpensive 
novelty  that  will  be  read. 

STORE  LISTS 

Alany  exhibitors  have  continually  used  the  tele- 
phone book  for  correct  lists  of  names  for  their 
mailing  material.  Another  good  channel  is  secur- 
ing such  information  from  the  big  department 
stores  which  have  excellent  lists,  kept  up-to-date, 
and  through  some  kind  of  a  tie-up  will  gladly 
lend  you  these  helpful  records. 

MAGAZINE  DISTRIBUTION 

Through    magazine   and    newspaper  distributing 
agency,  make  arrangements  to  enclose  special  her- 
alds  in    various   publications.     This   can   also  be 
ione  on  Sunday  edition  of  local  newspaper. 
RAILROAD  TICKETS 

For  railroad  feature.  Have  imitation  strip  rail- 
road tickets  printed,  through  cooperation  of  rail- 
way company.  Have  these  worded  "good  from 
anywhere  to  the  (name  of  theater)  and  return" 
Other  catch  phrases  in  railroad  lingo  make  this  a 
fine  novelty  stunt. 

SUBPOENA 

For  play  with  trial  scene.  Have  fac-simile  of 
legal  subpoena  printed,  summoning  the  public 
to  attend  the  attraction.  "The  "subpoena"  winds 
up  with :  "And  for  failure  to  attend  you  will  be 
guilty  of  not  witnessing  a  tense  drama  that  will 
entrance  you  with  the  remarkable  acting." 
GIANT  TELEGRAM 

For  street  distribution,  use  a  giant  telegram,  11 
x  14  inches,  an  exact  duplicate  of  the  regular 
Western  Union  telegram  blank  on  the  same  yellow 
stock.  Address  it  to  "Mr.  and  Mrs.  Everybody," 
and  sign  it  with  the  name  of  the  star.  The  tele- 
gram  is  a   brief,   friendly   message,   in   which  the 

star  urges  them  to  see  his  latest  picture  at   

theater. 

SOFT    DRINK  AD 

Arrange  with  a  drug  store  to  name  a'  soft 
drink  after  the  star  of  picture.  Then  advertise 
the  drink  effectively  with  a  novelty  herald  cut  to 


resemble  a  soda  glass  with  a  straw  in  it.  This 
sure-fire  publicity  will  sell  any  druggist  the  idea. 
SALE  TAGS 

Print  up  a  quantity  of  tags,  black  and  red,  size 
3"  x  5",  containing  copy:  "This  auto  is  not 
FOR  SALE — but  on  (date)  tickets  will  go  on 
sale  for  (name  of  picture)."  Tie  this  to  steering 
wheel  of  automobile.  The  owner  will  get  a  big 
kick  out  of  it  and  it  will  incidentally  boost  the 
picture.  JIGSAW  PUZZLE 

Secure  from  local  newspaper's  "morgue"  an 
old  line  cut  of  the  star  in  the  picture.  Cut  this 
to  pieces  in  a  jumbled  manner,  reblock  it  and 
print  it  on  throwaways.  Give  free  tickets  to 
those    solving    the  puzzle. 

IDENTIFICATION  TESTS 

Use  a  cut  of  one  of  the  stars,  showing  just  the 
back  of  the  head.  As  an  example — Jackie  Coogan 
recently  had  his  Dutch  Bob  cut,  which  makes  him 
look  entirely  different,  and  will  prove  puzzling 
to  the  picture  fans.  Little  hints  can  be  given  as 
to  the  biography  of  the  star  mentioned.  These 
can  be  found  in  the  press  books. 

WALL   PAPER  STUNT 

Good  for  popular  feature  whether  comedy  or 
drama.  Use  strips  of  wall  paper  on  which  are 
printed  red  lettering:  "Get  ready.  We  are  tearing 
the  wall  paper  off  the  theater  wall  to  make  room 
for    (name   of   star)    in  (picture)." 

RENTAL  CONTRACT 

Where  a  special  feature  is  being  shown,  advance 
publicity  can  be  gained  by  printing  fac-similes  of 
the  rental  contract.  This  will  drive  home  the 
value  of  the  picture  by  impressing  the  public 
with  the  price  paid  for  it.  Use  this  with  discretion 
only. 

TAX  BLANK 

Good  stunt  on  any  picture  showing  around  the 
season  for  tax  returns.  Have  printed  a  supple- 
mental income  tax  blank  containing  questions  of 
the  comedy  variety.  Here  are  a  few :  "Are  you 
married  or  single?  Why?"  "Do  you  drink?  If 
so,  where  do  you  get  it?"  "Exclusive  of  boot- 
leggers, how  many  people  are  dependent  on  you 
for  support?"  Add  to  these  any  wisecracks  that 
are  suitable.  At  the  bottom  of  questionnaire  is 
printed:  "Official  advice!  For  further  informa- 
tion, see  other  side."  On  the  reverse  appears  the 
announcement  of  showing. 

CAMPAIGN  DRIVES 

Volume  publicity  can  be  gained  by  cooperating 
with  various  organizations  on  their  campaigns 
and  drives  for  different  purposes.  For  instance, 
if  there  is  a  community  fund  drive  for  contribu- 
tions, offer  to  print  throwaways  announcing  the 
event.  On  the  reverse  side  the  theater  announces 
its   coming  or  current  attraction. 

BAGGAGE  CHECKS 

On  picture  featuring  a  railroad  sequence.  Have 
printed  cards  in  the  form  of  baggage  checks,  with 

copy   reading:    "Take   me   to   the    theater 

where    is    playing."      The    tickets  are 

numbered,  and  a  note  at  the  bottom  states  that 
the  check  is  exchangeable  for  a  pair  of  tickets 
if  the  number  of  the  check  corresponds  to  one 
of  several  numbers  posted  in  front  of  the  theater. 
CONFIDENTIAL  TIP 

Distribute  small  envelopes  with  this  message 
printed  on  them:  "Take  my  advice  and  don't  go 
home  tonight."  On  the  inside  is  a  slip  reading: 
"Go  to  the  - —  theater  instead,  and  see  (pic- 

SPECIAL  STUNTS 

NUMBERED  TICKETS 

For  special  children's  matinee  on  Saturday. 
Distribute  numbered  tickets  among  children,  dif- 
ferent sets  being  used  for  boys  and  girls.  A 
drawing  is  held  from  the  stage  for  the  lucky  num- 
bers. Prizes  for  both  boys  and  girls  are  donated 
by  dealers,  who  are  given  suitable  publicity.  A 
telegram  of  greetings  from  the  star  is  read  to  the 
children. 

ONE  CENT  CHECKS 

Use  on  any  feature  with  a  money  angle.  Issue 
checks  printed  on  a  special  form,  which  are  named 
after  the  feature.  For  instance,  they  would  be 
styled  "Chang  Checks"  if  that  picture  was  playing. 
They  are  made  out  to  bearer  for  One  Cent.  The 


723 


checks  are  drawn  on  your  bank,  and  this  gives 
that  institution  some  good  publicity.  As  a  matter 
of  fact,  few  of  these  checks  will  be  cashed. 
People  will  keep  them  as  a  novelty.  Here  is  an 
economical  stunt  with  real  value  as  a  novelty. 
Use  as  advance  publicity,  passing  them  out  to 
patrons  at  the  previous  showing. 

THANKSGIVING 
Arrange  with  newspaper  for  a  boys'  parade.  An 
invitation  is  printed  in  the  paper  stating  that  any 
boy  who  comes  to  the  newspaper  office  wearing  a 
fantastic  costume  will  be  given  a  free  pass  to  the 
show.  The  boys  in  the  parade  wear  bands  or 
carry  banner  advertising  both  the  newspaper  and 
the  feature. 

POPULARITY  CONTEST 

A  good  newspaper  cooperative  stunt  consists  in 
choosing  the  most  popular  local  girl  through  bal- 
lots in  the  paper  for  a  week.  A  suitable  prize 
can  be  donated  by  any  dealer  looking  for  real 
publicity.  It  might  be  a  dress,  evening  wrap, 
manicure  set,  etc.  The  ballot  box  is  in  the  lobby, 
along  with  a  display  of  the  prize.  The  newspaper 
plays  this  up  with  daily  stories  before  and  during 
contest.  A  daily  table  is  also  run  in  newspaper 
showing  standing  of  contestants.  The  award  of 
prize  is  made  from  stage  at  conclusion  of  contest. 
STAR  RESEMBLANCE 

Arrange  with  newspaper  for  a  contest  to  select 
the  local  girl  most  resembling  a  star  on  forth- 
coming feature.  Properly  played  up,  this  is  a  cir- 
culation builder  for  the  paper  that  few  stunts  can 
equal.  High  schools,  stores,  business  offices,  all 
will  develop  likely  contestants.  Three  judges  are 
appointed  by  paper  to  select  winner.  The  girl 
when  selected  is  taken  on  a  tour  of  co-operating 
shops,  which  are  in  on  the  stunt.  The  girl  re- 
ceives everything  from  facial  treatment  to  gifts  of 
shoes,  slippers,  etc.  Winds  up  with  a  supper  at 
the  hotel,  followed  by  a  dance.  A  film  can  be 
taken,  showing  the  girl  "shopping  around."  An- 
other break  for  the  merchants'  stores.  The  angles 
to  this  stunt  are  limitless.  Film  is  shown  at  the- 
ater week  before  opening  of  feature.  Girl  makes 
personal   appearance  opening  night. 

MEMORIAL  DAY 

Secure  permission  from  local  American  Legion 
to  put  an  auto  truck  in  their  Memorial  Day  par- 
ade. An  effective  and  inexpensive  float  can  be 
worked  up  with  man  and  girl  in  appropriate  cos- 
tume, such  as  a  war  veteran  and  a  Red  Cross  nurse. 
Suitable  banners  will  tie  up  with  theater  and  at- 
traction. In  return  for  courtesy,  invite  marchers 
to  see  the  picture. 

RADIO  CONTEST 

Three-cornered  tie-up  between  theater,  news- 
paper and  local  broadcasting  station.  The  idea  is 
to  determine  the  champion  radio  entertainers  of 
the  region  where  theater  is  located.  Every  night 
at  10  o'clock  the  stage  is  turned  into  a  broadcast- 
ing studio.  This,  of  course,  is  engineered  by  the 
radio  station.  The  radio  acts  are  known  by  num- 
bers only  to  make  the  contest  perfectly  fair.  The 
listeners-in  are  permitted  to  vote  for  their  favorite 
in  each  class — single,  unit  and  band.  On  final 
night  there  is  the  championsrip  night  when  leaders 
perform  again  for  final  judgment.  Prize  cups  are 
later  awarded  from  the  stage  in  connection  with  a 
Radio  Frolic.  A  sure-fire  stunt  for  making  radio 
fans  friends  of  your  theater. 

DECORATION  DAY 

Arrange  with  cigar  store  to  place  a  box  in  front 
of  entrance.  An  usherette  from  the  theater  is  in 
attendance,  and  urges  cigarette  buyers  to  purchase 
an  extra  package  and  drop  it  into  the  barrel  for 
the  disabled  veterans.  A  display  card  also  ex- 
plains the  stunt,  and  incidentally  ties  up  with  the 
showing. 

JUVENILE  CLUB 

Organize  a  Juvenile  Booster  Club.  Cards  are 
issued  to  all  the  youngsters,  the  cards  having  ten 
numbers  at  the  bottom.  There  are  punched  by 
the  doorman.  When  all  the  numbers  are  punched 
out,  the  club  member  is  entitled  to  a  free  admis- 
sion. Of  course  the  idea  of  the  "club"  is  that 
the  youngsters  mention  the  plan  to  their  friends.

patronage.

each  instance.

ESSAY  CONTEST 

An  annual  motion  picture  essay  contest  is  a 
regular  stunt  in  Birmingham,  Ala.,  through  the 
cooperative  effort  of  all  theaters  in  inducing  the 
school  board  to  sponsor  it.  Theater  owners  in 
other  towns  can  adopt  it  to  advantage.  The  idea

oil  paintings,  size  30  x  40.  They  will  occasionally

picture)."  Nine  cases  out  of  ten,  it  doesnt'  rain 
and  if  it  did,  very  few  people  would  take  advantage 
of  the  offer  but  this  great  flash  will  get  everyone

photographs  of  the  star  supplemented  with  a  card 
written  in  longhand  urging  persons  interested  in 
the  bureau  to  call  the  theater  phone  number  for

ters in  their  correct  positions.  At  box  office  are

prominent  section.  This  will  stop  the  passersby 
to  watch  the  unusual  stunt.  Tie-ups  with  dealers 
can  be  made  by  having  the  artist  repeat  the  draw- 
ing on  poster  cards  in  the  merchants'  windows.

on  many  features  through  a  short  novelty  intro- 
duced into  the  program.  It  is  designed  to  adver- 
tise the  coming  attraction.  For  instance,  on  a 
pirate  film,  the  theater  is  plunged  into  total  dark- 
ness for  an  instant.  A  bloodthirsty  "Yo-ho-ho" 
is  sounded  from  backstage  as  a  spotlight  reveals  a 
bearded  pirate  peering  from  behind  the  curtain. 
He  delivers  a  short  address  on  the  picture.  This 
idea  can  be  readily  adapted  to  crook  pictures,  etc. 
TELEPHONE  CALLS

book  by  the  wholesale.  She  introduces  herself  as  a

Store  displays  are  fertile  spots  for  striking  dis- 
play announcements.  Through  a  few  passes,  per- 
mission can  be  obtained  to  attach  strips  to  lower 
section  of  awning. 

IMPERSONATION  IDEA 

Pictures  bearing  strongly  on  the  sex  angle  can 
be  boosted  by  offering  prizes  to  young  men  who 
attend  the  theater  during  the  showing  of  the  pic- 
ture dressed  in  female  attire.  These  local 
"Adonises"  will  assist  fn  creating  unusual  public 
interest  in  your  showing.

be  divided  into  sections  of  bicycle,  coaster 
wagons,  scooters,  etc.  Banners  are  displayed 
advertising    the  attraction. 

CLOCK  STICKER 

The  clock  is  one  fertile  spot  for  advertising  that 
has  been  sadly  overlooked.  People  look  at  clocks 
many  times  during  the  day.  Print  up  a  small 
sticker  red  on  white  with  caption;   "This  is  the 

correct  time  to  se    picture"   .  Place  these

a  heavy  storm  in  your  city  by  placing  signs  con- 
taining announcement  of  the  picture  in  these  snow

arily cost  you  hundreds  of  dollars.  Signs  should 
be  made  of  compo-board,  22  x  8,  and  nailed  on 
laths,  so  that  they  will  stick  up  above  the  snow 

SCREEN  TESTS

A  few  days  before  picture  opens,  place  card  in 
store  window  stating :  "Owing  to  police  interfer- 
ence, the    Club  will  not  open  here.  Watch 

newspapers  for  further  particulars."     Then  an  ad 

is  run  in  the  paper  stating :  "The    Club  will 

tiot  open  as  previously  announced,  but  all  inter- 
ested  in   seeing  how   such  a  club   is  run  should 

attend  the    theater,  etc."

to  enter  contest.  The  newspaper  plays  it  up  with 
stories  and  photographs  of  contestants.

beauties,  this  stunt  will  apply.  Secure  telegram

meet  held  under  auspices  of  the  A.  A.  TJ.  or  local

of  the  local  club  act  as  judges.  Every  amateur 
girl  swimmer  in  the  city  is  eligible.  Have  entry

ment  lor  motorcycle  escort.  Newspapers  will  play

which  all  the  rauio  favorites  will  appear  on  the 
stage  and  go  through  their  regular  performance 
twice  daily  for  a  «(,<•!..  One  of  the  radio  an- 
nouncers acts  as  master  of  ceremonies,  and  the 
entire  frolic  is  broadcasted  through  the  micro- 
phone from  the  stage.  Use  newspaper  display 
ads  in  announcing  stunt,  and  advise  radio  tans

favorites  in  person.

of  American  Legion.  Have  the  members  march 
in  uniform  from  their  headquarters.  Try  to  secure 
veterans  of  other  wars,  such  as  G.  A.  R.  veterans. 
Good  newspaper  break  can  be  obtained  by  securing 
interview  from  some  old  veteran  recalling  his  ex- 
periences. Introduce  this  veteran  from  the  stage, 
and  have  short  addresses  from  public  officials  and 
any  prominent  celebrity  in  town.  Have  appro- 
priate decorations  on  theater  front  and  in  lobby. 
SPECIAL  MATINEE

other  prominent  people.  Before  screening  give  a 
short  talk  on  the  educational  features,  and  request 
the  guests  to  write  a  short  criticism.  Pads  and

given  on  the  night  before  the  opening  of  the  regular 
engagement,  the  performance  commencing  at  11:15 
P.  M.  Friday  night.  The  idea  is  based  on  the 
knowledge  that  there  are  a  considerable  number 
of  transients  who  would  take  advantage  of  the 
presentation  of  two  different  features  on  the  one 
night  but  who  would  not  be  in  the  city  the  fol- 
lowing day  for  the  regular  opening.

and  other  organizations  which  have  developed 
theatricals.  Colleges  and  schools  all  have  likely

is  certain,  with  all  the  friends  and  relatives  of  the 
amateurs  turning  out  in  force.

tensive baby  show  and  parade.  The  merchants

and  opera  chairs,  and  supply  an  orchestra.  This 
show  can  be  arranged  for  a  time  that  will  not  upset 
the  working  schedule.  It  is  a  sure-fire  stunt  for 
publicity,  and  means  a  lot  of  goodwill  where  you 
need  it  most — on  the  newspaper. 

COMBINATION  TICKETS 

The  occasional  featuring  of  a  showing  followed 
by  a  dance  is  a  good  drawing  card.  Combination 
tickets  are  issued  for  this  artair,  and  no  advance 
in  price  is  made.  The  dance  can  be  held  at  a 
neighboring  hall,  and  makes  an  excellent  tie-up 
with  the  dance  hall.  Both  theater  and  dance  hall 
benefit,  and  many  angles  of  publicity  can  be 
worked  up.  For  instance,  the  dance  hall  orchestra 
can  play  in  the  lobby  of  theater  before  the  show, 
and  during  the  program. 

SURPRISE  PROGRAM 

On  big  feature,  withhold  its  name  and  adver- 
tise a  "Surprise  Program."  Tell  the  public  to 
watch  for  announcement  of  title  on  opening  date. 
The  night  before  have  boys  distribute  heralds  giv- 
ing full  information. 

HOSPITAL  PERFORMANCE 

This  can  be  made  a  civic  event  through  enlisting 
aid  of  Merchants'  Association  and  Women's  Clubs. 
They  will  be  glad  to  cooperate  in  making  the  kids 
happy  at  a  special  showing  at  the  hospital.  In 
addition  to  the  film  showing,  special  acts  can  be 
staged  through  courtesy  of  any  vaudeville  people 
in  town.  Merchants  can  donate  gifts.  Newspapers 
will  give  this  valuable  space. 

FASHION  REVUE 

Appropriate  for  use  with  spectacular  production. 
Cooperate  with  local  merchants  for  loan  of  style 
creations  in  hats  and  gowns.  Girls  with  stage 
aspirations  can  easily  be  secured  to  act  as  models 
for  the  revue.  Get  furniture  dealer  or  department 
store  to  supply  stage  settings.  Full  credit  is  given 
to  merchants  on  screen  and  in  all  advertising. 
MOTHER-DAUGHTER  PARTY 

Stage  "Mother  and  Daughter  Party"  for  a  Sat- 
urday morning  in  cooperation  with  newspaper.  All 
little  girls  are  requested  to  send  in  an  essay  of  25 
words  on  "Why  I  want  to  attend  the  Mother 
and  Daughter  Party."  The  best  essays  are  printed 
in  paper  with  photos.  All  those  sending  letters 
receive  complimentary  admissions  with  their  moth- 
ers. This  stunt  is  especially  appropriate  for 
Mothers'   Day  week. 

AMATEUR  MOVIES 

Advertise  in  newspaper  that  a  special  show 
will  be  given  Saturday  morning  so  that  owners 
of  amateur  motion  picture  machines  can  get  to- 


gether. They  bring  their  best  reel,  which  is  shown 
on  screen.  The  manufacturers  of  the  machines 
will  gladly  cooperate  to  make  this  a  big  success, 
and  probably  send  a  representative  to  deliver  an 
interesting  talk  on  the  proper  method  of  taking 
amateur  movies. 

MUSICAL  CONTEST 

Run  a  musical  contest  for  three  successive  nights, 
open  to  all  amateur  musicians  in  the  city.  All 
kinds  of  musical  instruments  can  be  entered. 
Announce  contest  in  newspaper.  The  idea  of  con- 
test is  to  decide  the  favorite  form  of  musical  in- 
strument. The  audience  by  their  applause  decide 
the  winners.  The  variety  of  instruments  used  will 
furnish  many  exploitation  angles. 

"BARGAIN  SHOW" 

Run  two  program  pictures  that  can  be  rented 
cheap,    and    arrange    with    vaudeville    agency  for 
four  or  rive  acts.     Advertise  this  as  a  "Bargain 
Show"  at  a  special  price  of  10  or  15  cents. 
MOTHERS'  MATINEE 

Use  on  any  feature  with  the  mother  theme. 
With  the  cooperation  of  the  newspaper  to  give  it 
suitable  publicity,  the  Mothers'  Matinee  can  be 
easily  promoted.  The  local  taxi  company  can  be 
induced  to  bring  the  mothers  to  and  from  the 
show.  A  florist  furnishes  flowers.  A  confectioner 
supplies  boxes  of  candy. 

"LOCAL  CELEBRITY"  NIGHT 

Pick  out  some  prominent  person  who  has  lived 
in  the  town  for  a  good  many  years,  and  who  has 
contributed  to  its  development.  He  might  be  a 
public  official,  or  a  well-known  merchant.  Name 
a  certain  night  in  his  honor,  and  arrange  a  special 
program.  The  various  civic  organizations  will  co- 
operate in  welcoming  the  guest  of  honor.  Secure 
an  old-timer  who  is  a  good  speaker  to  deliver  an 
"I  Knew  Him  When"  address,  recalling  the  guest's 
earlier  days  when  he  was  not  so  prominent  as  he 
is  now.  Here  is  a  fine  community  stunt  that  will 
build  lots  of  goodwill  for  the  theater. 

RURAL  PATRONS 

Here  is  a  sure-fire  business-builder  for  any 
small-town  theater.  Arrange  with  a  farm  imple- 
ment company  to  send  a  letter  to  its  farmer  trade 
enclosing  two  free  tickets  for  a  special  show.  For 
instance,  it  might  be  a  Christmas  show,  with 
vaudeville,  a  Santa  Claus  and  a  present  for  every 
child.  As  the  average  farmer  has  a  family  of  four 
or  five,  it  means  that  they  all  attend,  and  pay  for 
their  admissions.  This  brings  the  farmer  trade  to 
town  and  helps  the  merchants,  who  will  be  only 
too  glad  to  cooperate  with  prizes,  etc. 

POTATO  MATINEE 

Good  stunt  for  neighborhood  house.  Run  it 
as  a  Saturday  morning  show,  and  advertise  it  ex- 
tensively as  a  "Potato  Matinee."  Any  child  is 
permitted  to  see  the  show  upon  presentation  of 
a  potato  at  the  box  office.  The  potatoes  are 
turned  over  to  charity.

How  to  Avoi 

THE  following  is  a  brief  summary  of 
the  main  precautions  to  be  observed 
in  the  avoidance  of  film  fires  in  projection 
rooms  of  theaters  or  exchanges.  They 
are  the  suggestions  of  the  National  Board 
of  Fire  Prevention: 

(1)  Have  storage  vaults  properly  constructed 
and  amply  sprinklered  in  accordance  with  the  Na- 
tional Board's  suggested  regulations;  exchange 
offices  should  also  be  sprinklered. 

(2)  Provide  vaults  with  vents  leading  to  the 
outer  air;  do  not  have  vaults  larger  than  experts 
consider  safe. 

(3)  Install  self-closing  doors  on  vaults  and  keep 
them  closed. 

(4)  Have  all  electric  wiring  in  metal  conduits: 
for  incandescent  lights  in  vaults,  or  those  used  for 
examining  purposes,  use  vaporproof  globes;  (no 
extensions  or  alterations  should  be  made  without 
first  consulting  the  local  electrical  bureau,  and  no 


Film  Fires 

unenclosed  knife-switches,  or  other  arcing  or  spark- 
producing  devices  should  be  located  in  film  storage 
or  examining  rooms). 

(5)  Prohibit  smoking  at  all  times. 

(6)  Maintain  tidy  premises,  free  from  accumu- 
lations of  film,  packing  materials  and  rubbish  ;  good 
housekeeping  is  vital. 

(7)  Keep  all  reels  in  cans  or  shipping  cases 
when  not  being  examined  or  screened. 

(8)  See  that  reels  are  kept  away  from  steam 
pipes  and  radiators,  and  provide  latter  with  wire 
guards. 

(9)  Patching  cements  are  flammable — handle 
them  carefully,  and  keep  containers  closed  when  not 
in  use ;  store  reserve  supplies  in  a  safe  place. 

(10)  Provide  approved  receptacles  with  self- 
closing  covers  for  scrap  film  and  litter;  they  should 
he  emptied  twice  daily.  Have  a  daily  inspection 
made  by  a  trusted  employe. 

(11)  Keep  supplies  of  posters  and  wrapping 
paper  in  a  separate  room  cut  off  from  the  rest  of 
the  establishment.

Theater  and  Circuit  Accountancy 

  By  MAX  SCHLESINGER,  C.  P.  A.  ^ — 


MANY  OF  the  problems  presenting  themselves  in  connection  with  the  operation  of 
a  theater  accounting  system  are  common  to  independently-owned  theaters  and  chain 
units  and  a  majority  of  the  points  discussed  below  apply  equally  to  both.  The  author 
of  this  article — an  authority  on  theater  and  circuit  accountancy — sets  forth  a  standard 
system  of  operating  a  house  from  a  bookkeeping  viewpoint. 


The  First  Problem 

THE  first  problem  that  comes  to  the  attention 
of  the  auditor  of  a  circuit  is  the  verification 
of  box-office  receipts.  I  don't  however-  in- 
tend to  discuss  this  feature  in  full.  The  register 
machine  is  used  most  uniformly  in  every  house  and 
a  daily  tabulated  report  giving  the  starting  and 
finishing  numbers  of  each  priced  ticket  series  is 
prepared  by  the  cashier  at  the  end  of  the  day. 

As  a  rule,  the  auditing  department  has  little  to 
do  with  the  balancing  of  cash  receipts.  Various 
measures  are  being  taken  by  managers  to  ascertain 
that  the  cash  receipts  are  all  that  should  be  and 
that  no  manipulation  by  dishonest  employes  is 
carried  on.  Periodic  tests  are  made  to  check  the 
accuracy  of  the  cashier  and  constant  watch  is  kept 
to  see  that  no  tickets  have  been  withheld  by  the 
doorman  and  sold  again. 

This  work,  of  course,  should  be  done  by  some- 
one who  is  especially  adapted  for  it.  The  auditor 
cannot  do  more  than  offer  suggestions  as  to  how 
this  periodic  checking  and  watching  should  be 
done.  Picture  theaters  are  operated  by  one  of  the 
two  following  plans: 

(a)  The  theater  that  is  operated  under  a  lease- 
hold for  a  period  of  years; 

(b)  The  theater  that  is  operated  in  fee  simple 
and  usually  in  conjunction  with  some  real  estate 
proposition. 

The  bookkeeping  for  both  classes  is  compara- 
tively simple.  Books  are  usually  kept  on  a  basis 
of  cash  receipts  and  disbursements.  When  pre- 
paring financial  statements,  it  is  important  that 
all  the  books  be  written  up-to-date  and  that  all 
expenses  pertaining  to  the  operations  for  the  period 
for  which  the  statements  are  rendered  are  on  the 
books.  There  are  usually  a  number  of  charges 
which  carry  over  from  one  period  to  the  other,  and 
they  can  briefly  be  enumerated  as  follows : 

1.  Pictures:  In  most  cases,  played  and  not  paid 
for;  in  some  cases,  paid  for  and  not  yet  played: 

2.  Advertising  Paper:  Paper  paid  for  is  some- 
times carried  over  on  pictures  to  be  played  at 
some  future  date: 

3.  Prepaid  Expenses :  Such  as  unexpired  in- 
surance, unexpired  licenses,  portion  of  dues  in 
Chambers  of  Commerce,  inventory  of  supplies  on 
hand. 

The  auditor  should  ascertain  all  these  items 
and  should  classify  them  according  to  the  status 
as  to  whether  they  are  assets  or  liabilities.  It 
may  happen  that  salaries  have  not  been  paid  at 
the  close  of  the  period  which  is  rather  a  rare 
occurrence  as  in  almost  all  better  class  houses,  the 
pay  day  is  usually  made  to  coincide  with  the  last 
day  of  the  accounting  period. 

Depreciation  and  Interest 

Many  of  the  problems  presenting  themselves  in 
connection  with  the  operation  of  the  theater  are 
common  to  both  classes  of  theaters,  and  some 
of  the  remarks  that  I  am  going  to  make  in  con- 
nection with  accounting  for  theaters  apply  equally 
to  both. 

1.     Depreciation    of    Fixtures    and  Equipment: 

Under  fixtures  and  equipment  would  come  items 
like  chairs,  organ,  carpets,  booth  equipment,  elec- 
tric signs,  etc. 

The  rate  of  depreciation  on  each  class  of 
equipment  would  naturally  vary.  However,  one 
couldn't  go  wrong  if  a  standard  rate  of  10%  on 


all  fixtures  and  equipment  were  taken.  A  better 
way  might  be  to  take  10%  on  bigger  and  more 
permanent  items  like  chairs  and  machinery,  and 
20%  on  such  items  as  carpets,  frames  and  small 
articles. 

2.  Depreciation  on  Building :  Theaters  included 
under  Class  (b)  should  figure  depreciation  on 
building  from  2J4%  to  5%  per  annum,  depending 
upon  the  type  of  the  building.  No  depreciation  is 
made  on  land. 

3.  Insurance:  Cost  of  insurance  should  be 
spread  over  the  life  of  the  policies.  It  is  important 
to  ascertain  that  the  following  risks  are  covered : 
fire,  plate  glass,  compensation,  property  damaged, 
accidents  in  and  out  of  the  theater,  accidents  of 
employes,  film  insurance  and  possibly  rent  insur- 
ance wherever  the  theater  is  operated  in  conjunc- 
tion with  a  real  estate  proposition. 

4.  Taxes:  Federal  taxes  and  admission  where 
the  price  is  over  fifty  cents,  taxes  on  real  estate 
which  might  be  either  prepaid  or  due ;  Federal 
and  State  income  taxes  should  be  thoroughly 
looked  into  as  they  are  usually  chargeable  to  the 
surplus  or  income  for  the  period  and  may  amount 
to  considerable  sums. 

Lately  a  number  of  theater  owners  have  organ- 
ized separate  corporations  for  the  purpose  of  hold- 
ing title  to  the  real  estate  thus  affecting  a  saving 
of  State  income  taxes  of  about  4^2  per  cent,  and 
the  amount  of  profits  that  is  allotted  to  it  by  the 
operating  company  is  in  lieu  of  rent. 

5.  Interest  on  Mortgages:  The  auditor  should 
calculate  amount  of  interest  due  on  each  class  of 
mortgage,  or  as  the  case  might  be,  interest  might 
be  prepaid  for  a  certain  period  and  the  amount 
prepaid  should  be  taken  into  the  assets. 

6.  Premiums  Paid  on  Raising  Mortgages  or 
Selling  Bonds :  The  amortization  of  the  premiums 
paid  on  raising  mortgages  or  selling  bonds  present, 
sometimes,  peculiar  problems.  The  usual  method 
followed  by  most  circuits,  is,  of  course,  to  spread 
the  premium  over  the  life  of  the  mortgage.  This 
is  not  correct  in  cases  where  payments  are  made 
periodically  or  where  bonds  are  retired  annually, 
by  allotment.  Where  equal  payments  are  made 
periodically,  the  scientific  way  is  to  spread  the 
premium  over  the  equated  or  average  time  the 
mortgage  or  bond  is  to  run. 

Mortgages 

In  allocating  payments  on  mortgages,  the  method 
advocated   is  best  demonstrated  by   the  following 

example : 

Let  us  assume  that  there  is  a  mortgage  of  $100,- 
000  for  a  period  of  ten  years,  to  be  amortized 
annually  by  $10,000.  The  mortgage  carries  an  in- 
terest rate  of  6  per  cent  per  annum  and  a  discount 
of  $10,000  was  charged  by  the  mortgagee.  The 
usual  method  in  vogue  is  to  reduce  the  discount 
by  $1,000  per  annum.  Inasmuch  however,  as  the 
amount  of  the  mortgage  is  on  a  declining  scale,  it 
is  evident  that  this  uniform  amount  of  $1,000  per 
annum  is  not  correct,  and  I  therefore  suggest  the 
following  method  : 

The  number  of  payments  amortizing  the  mort- 
gage completely  is  ten ;  the  average  time,  there- 
fore, would  be  found  by  adding  the  first  number 
of  the  series  which  is  one,  and  the  last  number 
of  the  series  which  is  ten,  or  the  sum  of  11,  and 
divide  them  by  two.  The  average  time  thus  ar- 
rived at  is  five  and  a  half  years.     Dividing  the 


729 


amount  of  tlie  discount  by  the  average  time,  we 
would  get  an  approximate  amount  of  $1,818.00  per 
annum,  which  in  our  case  equals  approximately 
.1818  per  cent  (.2002  per  cent  if  figured  on  the 
net  amount  of  $90,000.)  The  entire  discount, 
therefore,   would  be  exhausted  as  follows :

$9,990.00 

The  difference  of  $10  is  due  to  the  fractions  and 
to  the  fact  that  only  four  places  have  been  carried 
on  the  discount.  In  order  to  get  more  accu- 
racy, it  is  necessary  to  carry  more  places.  To 
include  the  6  per  cent  of  course,  it  would  be 
necessary  to  establish  the  rate  as  .1818  and  .6  or 
.7818  per  annum. 

The  problem  is  a  little  more  difficult  where  the 
payments  are  not  made  in  equal  periods  such  as 
equal  periodical  payments  are  made  for  a  number 
of  years  and  the  balance  which  may  be  much 
greater  or  much  less  than  each  periodical  pay- 
ment is  made  at  the  very  end  of  the  period.  In 
this  case,  it  is  necessary,  of  course,  to  find  the 
equated  or  average  time,  and  when  the  time  is 
known,  it  is  easy  to  find  the  rate  per  annum. 

Just  as  an  illustration,  the  following  example 
will  serve: 

Assume  that  a  loan  of  $10,000  is  made  and  a 
discount  of  $1,000  is  charged.  The  principal  is  to 
be  amortized  at  the  rate  of  $1,000  annually  for 
four  years,  the  balance  of  $6,000  is  payable  at  the 
end  of  the  fifth  year.  In  order  to  find  the  rate 
per  cent  on  this  loan,  it  is  necessary  to  make  the 
following   computation :

Total 

$10,000 

$39,000.00 

$39,000  divided  by  $10,000  equals  3.9%,  or  an 
average  time  of  3.9  years.  In  other  words,  if  this 
loan  was  held  for  a  period  of  3.9  years  without 
amortization,  the  interest  on  same  would  amount 
to  exactly  $1,000.  A  thousand  dollars  for  the  use 
of  $10,000  for  3.9  years  is  about  2.56  per  annum, 
and  this  would  be  the  rate  of  interest  charged  pe- 
riodically to  exhaust  the  discount.  The  tabula- 
tion below  will  prove  whether  or  not  the  com- 
putation is  correct.

What  I  said  previously  in  reference  to  the 
various  difference  in  the  result,  applies  equally  to 
this  example.  For  simplicity's  sake,  I  have  also 
left  out  the  interest  charged  of  6  per  cent  per 
annum. 


Valuation  of  Leaseholds 

The  question  of  valuation  of  leasehold  comes  in 
usually  when  a  theater  is  transferred  from  one 
owner  to  another.  In  no  case  is  there  any  ques- 
tion of  good  will  where  no  transfer  has  been 
made.  The  method  of  valuation  of  leaseholds,  and 
for  that  matter  elements  of  good  will,  differ 
greatly  in  various  localities  and  depends  entirely 
upon  conditions  peculiar  to  each  case.  Instances 
are  known  where  an  amount  equal  to  three  or  five 
times  the  yearly  average  profit  were  determined 
to  be  the  value  of  good  will.  The  valuation  of 
good  will  in  any  case,  of  course  is  arbitrary,  and  is 
based  on  the  assumption  that  the  profits  realized  in 
the  past  will  prevail  for  a  certain  number  of  years 
in  the  future,  and  where  this  assumption  is  made, 
the  following  method  would  be  used  to  value 
goed  will  on  a  scientific  basis : 

1.  Ascertain  the  profits  for  a  given  number  of 
years.  From  this  amount  a  fair  rate  of  return 
on  the  investment  should  be  deducted.  Probably 
6  per  cent  would  not  be  sufficient  as  a  return  on 
capital  invested  in  picture  enterprises: 

2.  An  agreement  is  to  be  reached  as  to  how 
many  years  profit  is  the  value  of  good  will: 

3.  Determine  the  present  worth  of  this  profit  at 
compound  interest.  In  other  words,  the  amount 
that  would  have  to  be  deposited  presently  in  order 
to  amount  at  the  end  of  the  number  of  years 
with  compound  interest  to  the  total  amount  of 
profits  that  are  reasonably  expected  to  materialize, 
and  which  is  considered  the  value  of  the  good  will. 

The  following  example  is  an  illustration:  Assume 
that  the  profits,  after  deducting  interest  on  the 
investment,  is  $10,000  per  annum  and  that  the 
parties  have  agreed  that  the  profits  for  the  next 
three  years  will  be  the  same.  In  other  words, 
that  the  total  will  be  $30,000.  The  question  is, 
what  is  this  expected  income  worth  presently.  In 
other  words,  what  amount,  if  invested  at  the  rate 
of  6  per  cent  per  annum,  compounded  yearly,  will 
accumulate  $30,000. 

Tables  of  present  worth,  give  the  present  worth 
of  $1,000  for  three  years  at  6  per  cent  per  an- 
num, compounded  as  .8396  multiplied  $30,000  will 
amount  to  $25,188.  In  other  words,  this  is  the 
amount  of  good  will  to  be  paid  by  the  buyer  to 
the  seller.  It  is  usually  advisable  to  write  good 
will  off  the  books,  and  bankers  especially  do  not 
regard  it  favorably  on  the  balance  sheet. 

Methods  of  depreciating  good  will  varies.  The 
most  commonly  used  method  is  writing  off  good 
will  over  a  period  of  years  in  equal  installments. 
( )thers  are  using  the  sinking  fund  method  which 
consists  of  setting  aside  yearly  an  amount  which 
with  compound  interest  over  the  given  number 
of  years,  will  amount  to  the  value  of  good  will 
to  be  written  off.  The  depreciation  of  good  will 
has  never  been  allowed  by  the  Bureau  of  Internal 
Revenue,  as  a  separate  deduction  and  therefore, 
should  be  written  off  against  the  surplus  rather 
than  against  the  income  from  operations  for  the 
period. 


REGULATIONS  GOVERNING  THE 

TRANSPORTATION   OF  PICTURES 

Motion  picture  film  is  shipped  to  distant  points 
over  either  one  of  two  courses :  the  United  States 
Post  Office  and  the  American  Railway  Express  Co. 
It  will  only  be  accepted  for  shipment  when  certain 
rules  and  regulations  have  been  strictly  adhered 
to.  An  official  list  of  all  rules  and  regulations 
enforced  by  both  systems  appeared  on  page  461, 
Film  Daily  Year  Book  for  1927.

•Editor's  Note: — It  is  suggested  that  exhibitors  secure  from  the  "tax  free  publishers"  a  written  authority 
that  their  works  ara  not  subject  to  license.  This,  for  the  reason  that  regardless  of  membership  in  the 
American  Society  ot  Composers,  Authors  and  Publishers,  under  the  law,  no  copyright  music  may  lawfully 
be  publicly  performed  for  purposes  of  profit  without  consent  of  the  copyright  owner,  and  for  the  reason  that 
from  time  to  time  it  is  reasonably  to  be  expected  that  firms  listed  as  "tax  free  publishers"  may  decide  to 
withdraw  their  music  from  such  classification. 

Exhibitors  who  do  not  desire  to  pay  music  tax  should  remember  the  following: 

1st.  Absolute  instructions  should  be  given  to  those  in  charge  of  the  theater  music  as  to  just  whose 
music  should  he  made  use  of  and  that  if  there  is  any  doubt  the  music  should  not  be  used  until  the  facts 
are  known. 

2nd.  Cue  sheets  and  scores  offered  for  sale  or  distributed  should  not  be  used  by  those  who  do  not  wish 
to  pay  the  tax  unless  the  statement  is  made  and  guaranteed  that  the  music  recommended  is  not  subject 
to  tax.  Where  scores  are  sold  or  rented  a  guarantee  should  go  with  each  copy  that  all  liability  is  assumed 
by  the  publisher  should  trouble  arise. 

3rd.  Every  theater  man  not  wishing  to  pay  the  tax  should  see  that  his  library  of  music  contains  only 
selections  which  are  issued  by  those  companies  whose  music  is  tax  free  and  are  non-members  of  the  society. 

4th.  When  those  in  charge  of  the  music  supply  the  music  for  the  theater  the  theater  owner  should  instruct 
and  demand  that  non-taxable  music  only  should  be  played,  and  when  cues  are  supplied  see  to  it  that  the 
musicians  substitute  non-taxable  music  wherever  taxable  music  is  specified.  The  theater  owner  is  liable 
if  this  is  not  done. 

Trouble  and  lawsuits  may  result  from  the  use  of  music  inadvertently  used  which  is  taxable,  therefore 
too  much  care  cannot  be  used.  Spotters  may  be  in  the  audience  or  other  methods  used  for  locating  houses 
using  taxable  music. 

Some  houses  believe  that  the  tax  is  so  small  that  it  is  better  to  pay  it  than  fight  and  go  to  the  trouble 
of  inspecting  all  music.  This  is  an  open  question  to  be  settled  by  each  theater  owner  individually,  or  by 
the  united  action  of  the  theater  owners'  organization.  If  the  tax  is  to  be  fought  it  must  be  done  by 
united  action  of  theater  interests. 

A  warning  should  be  given  to  every  maker  of  cue-sheets  and  every  maker  of  scores  that  he  owes  it 
to  the  theater  to  label  every  cue — stating  whether  or  not  it  contains  taxable  music  and  if  so  each  of  the 
selections  should  be  so  labeled.

Arbitration  Boards  and  the  Film  Boards  of  Trade 

{Addresses,  Officers  and  Territories  Covered  by  the  Film  Boards  of  Trade  Appear  on  Page  525) 

ARBITRATION  BOARDS  throughout  the  United  States  disposed  of  35,650  clainis, 
involving  close  to  $7,400,000,  during  1924,  1925  and  1926.  Canada's  six  Boards 
would  swell  this  total  considerably.  Of  the  35,650  cases  handled  only  92  claims  were 
litigated  after  submission  to  the  Board,  including  entry  of  judgments  in  court  actions 
after  awards  were  made.  Three  claims — one  in  each  year — were  brought  into  litigation 
before  submission  to  arbitration,  and  62  required  a  seventh  arbitrator  for  disposition. 
In  the  compilation  following,  reports  of  U.  S.  Arbitration  Boards  for  1924,  25  and  26,

Film  Boards  of  Trade 


FILM    BOARD   history   dates   back    to  1912, 
when  a  board  was  formed  at  Denver.  Since 
-   that  time,  the   Motion   Picture  Producers  & 
Distributors  of  America  have  organized  boards  in 
32  key  cities  in  the  United  States,  six  in  Canada, 
one  in  Havana,  Cuba  and  another  at  Mexico  City. 

The  Boards  not  only  confine  their  activities  to 
arbitration.  Its  distributor  members  supply  close 
to  500  state  and  Federal  prisons,  city  institutions, 
charitable  organizations  and  welfare  associations 
with  free  film.  The  value  of  film  donated  to  these 
institutions  approximates  $200,000  yearly.  During 
the  past  year,  several  hundred  thousand  dollars 
were  turned  over  to  the  Red  Cross  for  relief  of 
Mississippi  Flood  sufferers. 


Official  legal  status  of  the  Film  Boards  was 
established  in  August,  1926,  when  the  United 
States  Department  of  Justice,  following  an  exhaus- 
tive investigation,  declared  that  operation  of  the 
Boards  was  legal,  except  for  a  few  certain  prac- 
tices in  isolated  territories.  This  probe  started  in 
February,  1925,  when  the  M.P.T.O.A,  at  its 
Milwaukee  convention,  flayed  the  workings  of 
Boards,  declaring  them  illegal.  Department  of 
Justice  operatives  immediately  set  to  work  among 
exhibitors  in  many  sections  of  the  country  secur 
ing  data  and  continued  its  investigation  for  18 
months.

Comparison  of  Theater  Construction,  1925-26 


A  DETAILED  comparison  of  theater  construction  in  1925  and  1926,  as  prepared  by  the 
United  States  Department  of  Labor.  The  Government  makes  no  distinction  in  the 
class  of  buildings.  The  general  classification,  which  is  captioned  "amusement  and  recrea- 
tion places,"  therefore,  embraces  all  types  of  buildings,  but  motion  picture  theaters  repre- 
sent the  majority. 

In  1926,  the  records  show  $135,640,162  was  spent  on  967  theaters  and  recreation 
places,  in  294  cities,  as  against  $116,283,961  for  1,047  places,  in  272  cities,  in  1925.  The 
comparison,  by  cities  and  stales,  follows:

Thirteen  times  a  year  you  can  put  over 
your  personal  message  to  the  man  who 
has  the  say — to  the  Exhibitor  who  decides 
which  names  shall  be  featured  in  the 
lights  on  his  marquee,  in  his  lobby,  and 
in  his  newspaper  advertising — through 
the  medium  of 

The  Studio 

Section  of 

Exhibitors  Herald 


In  establishing  "The  Studio",  Exhibitors 
Herald  has  made  possible  a  close  contact 
between  the  exhibitor,  director,  actor, 
cameraman  and  technical  staffs  so  neces- 
sary to  a  better  understanding,  lack  of 
which  before  the  advent  of  "The  Studio" 
has  been  a  severe  handicap.

Legal  Decisions  — Legislation 


ALTHOUGH  the  bulk  of  all  new  legislative  matters  affecting  the  industry  pertains  to 
Sunday  closing  and  taxation,  many  laws  of  a  different  nature,  having  an  equally 
important  bearing  on  the  three  major  branches  of  this  business,  were  enacted  during 
1927.  "THE  FILM  DAILY  YEAR  BOOK"  has  made  a  survey  of  legal  and  legisla- 
tive activities  of  the  past  year,  in  an  effort  to  place  at  the  disposal  of  the  industry  a 
record  of  important  Federal,   State  and  municipal  laws  enacted  in  1927. 

New  laws  and  important  legal  decisions  discussed  in  this  article  have  been  divided 
into  four  major  classifications.  These  include:  laws  and  decisions  affecting  production; 
those  involving  distribution-exhibition  jointly;  decrees  in  which  exhibitors  only  are  inter- 
ested, and  miscellaneous. 

Many  new  bills  are  drafted  every  year.  The  majority  never  reach  a  final  vote.  In 
32  states,  there  were  102  measures  presented  in  January  and  February,  1927.  A  small 
percentage  passed.  A  variety  of  freak  bills  was  included.  In  Oklahoma,  a  drastic  bill 
would  have  jailed— for  90  days — all  ushers,  cashiers,  porters  and  other  attendants  on  the 
staff  of  a  theater  convicted  of  violating  a  Sunday  closing  law.  No  animals  would  be 
allowed  in  acts  playing  Illinois  theaters,  if  a  bill  proposed  in  that  state  was  passed, 
while  vesting  of  legal  jurisdiction  over  all  branches  of  the  industry  throughout  the  Prov- 
ince of  Quebec,  was  asked  for  in  a  bill  introduced  at  Montreal.  Scores  of  others  were 
equally  as  radical.  ,    •  ■        t  „ 

The  review  of  new  legislative  measures  and  important  court  decisions  follows: 


Laws  and  Decisions  Affecting  Production 

(Only  Embracing  California) 


INDUSTRIAL  WELFARE  COMMIS- 
SION ORDER  NO.  16;  AFFECTING 
EMPLOYMENT  OF  WOMEN  AND 
MINORS  IN  PICTURES 

DEFINITION   OF  TERMS 
Employer — The  term  "employer",  as  used  herein, 
shall  mean  any  person,  firm  or  corporation,  em- 
ploying women  or  minors  in  the  motion  picture 
industry. 

Extrai — The  term  "extra"  as  used  herein  shall  mean 
any  woman  or  minor  who  is  employed  on  a  daily 
basis  to  act  in  motion  pictures  at  a  wage  of 
$15.00  or  under  a  day. 

SECTION  1— KEEPING  OF  RECORDS— Every 
employer  shall  keep,  in  a  form  and  manner  ap- 
proved by  the  Industrial  Welfare  Commission, 
records  of  the  names  and  addresses,  the  number 
of  hours  worked  per  day,  and  the  amounts  earned 
by  all  women  and  minor  employees,  such  records 
to  be  kept  on  file  for  at  least  one  year.  Male 
minors  shall  be  marked  "M"  and  female  minors 
"F"  on  the  payroll. 

CONSTRUCTION 

SECTION  1— KEEPING  OF  RECORDS— As 
the  studio  is  the  actual  employer  of  labor,  the 
studio  is  therefore  responsible  to  the  State  for 
the  keeping  of  all  records  and  the  records  must 
be  kept  open  for  State  inspection. 

SECTION  2— FILING  REPORTS— Every  em- 
ployer shall  furnish  the  Commission,  at  its  request, 
any  and  all  reports  or  information  which  the 
Commission  may  require  to  carry  out  the  pur- 
poses of  the  Act  creating  the  Commission ;  such 
reports  and  information  to  be  verified  by  oath 
of  the  person  furnishing  the  same,  if,  and  when, 
so  requested  by  the  Commission. 

SECTION  3— INSPECTION— Every  employer 
shall  allow  any  member  of  the  Commission  or 
any  of  its  duly  authorized  representatives  free 


access  to  the  place  of  business  of  such  employer, 
for  the  purpose  of  making  inspection  of  or  ex- 
cerpts' from  all  books,  reports,  contracts,  pay- 
rolls, documents  or  papers  of  such  employer 
relating  to  the  employment  of  women  and 
minors  and  payment  therefore  by  such  employer; 
or  for  the  purpose  of  making  any  investigation 
authorized  by  the  Act  creating  the  Commission. 
SECTION  4— WORKING  CONDITIONS — No 
employer  shall  employ  or  suffer  or  permit  any 
woman  or  minor  to  work  in  any  motion  picture 
studio  in  which  the  conditions  of  employment 
are  not  in  conformity  with  the  standard  set  forth 
in  Industrial  Welfare  Commission  Order  No.  4, 
amended. 

STANDARD  CONDITIONS  FOR  EMPLOY- 
MENT OF  EXTRAS 

SECTION  5— STANDARD  DAY— The  term 
"standard  day"  as  used  herein  shall  mean  a 
period  of  eight  hours  commencing  with  the  time 
an  employee  is  required  to  and  does  report  for 
employment.  Designated  meal  periods  are  not 
included  in  employment. 

PAYMENT  OF  WAGES: 

(a)  Estimating  Time  Employed: — In  estimating 
time  of  employment,  payment  shall  be  made  for 
all  time  necessarily  consumed  at  the  direction  of 
the  studio  after  extras  are  told  to  and  do  report 
at  the  studio.  This  shall  include  putting  on 
studio  costumes  at  the  studio,  checking  in  an 
out  wardrobe  and  property,  rehearsing,  and  wait- 
ing at  the  studio  or  on  location  in  weather  per- 
mitting calls  when  so  directed  by  the  studio. 
Extras  who  are  required  to  try  on  and  fit  cos- 
tumes either  at  studios  or  costumers  shall  be  paid 
not  less  than  a  full  days  wage  if  afterwards  not 
employed. 

You  will  find  that  by  gauging  your  calls 
and  putting  on  an  extra  clerk  occasionally 
to  check  out  and  check  in  costumes,  that  you 
will  be  able  to  keep  within  the  overtime  periods.

On  the  other  hand,  you  may  call  people,  wear- 
ing their  own  clothes,  to  be  "on  the  set,  ready 
to  work",  at  nine  o'clock,  and  expect  them  to 
appear  on  the  set,  made  up  and  ready  to  work, 
all  on  the  extra's  time.  It  is  generally  under- 
stood that  the  extra  shall  make  up  on  his 
own  time.  If  you  ask  them  to  appear  at  your 
studio,  take  them  to  location  and  find  it  necessary 
to  return  them  to  the  studio  to  check  in  ward- 
robes, you  pay  for  all  time  consumed  at  your 
direction.  If,  however,  you  find  it  expedient  to 
check  them  out  and  collect  the  property  on  loca- 
tion, their  work  period  ends  after  your  property 
is  checked  in,  and  the  time  consumed  in  return- 
ing them  from  location  is  to  be  borne  by  the 
extras.  The  studio  is,  of  course,  responsible  for 
bringing  them  back  unless  they  are  on  a  direct 
car  line.  You  can,  of  course,  order  a  group  of 
extras  to  appear  at  any  central  point  in  the  city 
at  a  stated  hour  and  the  day's  work  starts  at 
the  time  they  are  told  to  assemble. 

(b)  Payment  of  Work  in  Excess  of  Standard  Day's 
Work — In  case  of  emergency,  any  women  extra 
may  be  employed  in  excess  of  eight  hours  pro- 
vided that  for  all  work  in  excess  of  eight  hours 
no  employer  shall  pay  any  woman  extra  less  than 
the  following  scale 

After  eight  hours,  and  up  to  ten  hours, 
not  less  than  one  fourth  of  the  daily  wage 
paid. 

After  ten  hours  and  up  to  twelve  hours, 
not  less  than  one  half  of  the  daily  wage 
paid. 

After  twelve  hours  and  up  to  fourteen 
hours,  not  less  than  three  fourths  of  the 
daily  wage  paid. 

After  fourteen  hours,  not  less  than  dou- 
ble the  daily  wage  paid. 

(c)  Form  of  Payment  to  Extras — Every  employer 
shall  pay  extras  in  cash  or  negotiable  checks 
at  the  completion  of  each  day's  work,  except 
that  overtime  checks  if  unpaid  must  be  mailed 
to  extras  not  later  than  24  hours. 

The  clause  "except  that  overtime  checks,  if  un- 
paid, must  be  mailed  to  extras  not  later  than  24 
hours",  is  for  the  purpose  of  covering  an  em- 
ergency in  event  you  do  not  have  cash  on  hand 
or  that  checks  are  not  made  out  to  cover  more 
than  eight  hours  because  you  intended  to  work 
not  more  than  eight  hours. 

(d)  Payment  for  Weather- Permitting  Calk? — In 
case  of  weather-permitting  calls,  women  and 
minors  shall  be  paid  their  carfare  for  report- 
ing. If  required  to  wait  they  shall  be  paid  their 
regular  wages. 

It  is  suggested  that  you  post  a  painted  or 
printed  sign  announcing  there  will  be  no  work 
that  day,  and  the  Central  Casting  Corp.  will  assist 
you,  whenever  possible,  if  requested  by  you,  in 
cancelling  the  call.  The  posting  of  this  sign  indi- 
cating there  will  be  no  work  is  all  that  is  required 
and  we  have  agreed  that  should  extras  go  to 
the  studios  in  bad  weather,  their  carfare  will  be 
paid.  If,  however,  a  crowd  assembles  on  a  doubt- 
ful day  and  you  consider  it  possible  to  shoot 
at  a  later  hour,  the  extras  meanwhile  remaining 
voluntarily  at  the  studio  in  the  hope  that  you 
will  do  so,  in  event  you  do  shoot  at  a  later 
hour,  we  have  agreed  the  day  will  start  from  the 
original  hours  of  call  rather  than  from  the  hour 
at  which  you  start  work, 

NOTIFICATION  OF  NIGHT  WORK,  "WET" 
WORK,  OR  DANGEROUS  WORK: 

(e)  — Employers  shall  notify  extras  at  the  time 
of  the  call  of  the  character  of  the  work,  when 
extras  are  required  to  do  night  work,  "wet" 
work,  or  work  of  a  rough  or  dangerous  character. 

Night  Work — 

(f)  — Extra  women  who  are  required  to  work  at 
night  shall  be  dismissed  in  time  to  permit  their 
return  to  their  homes  by  public  service  trans- 
portation; otherwise,  appropriate  transporta- 
tion shall  be  provided  for  all  extra  women  who 
are  required  to  work,  if  in  excess  of  a  standard 
day.  after  11  :30  P.  M. 

The  Industrial  Welfare  Commission  and  the 
extras  are  satisfied  with  the  box  lunch  furnished 
the  extras.    Therefore,  it  will  be  perfectly  satis- 


factory to  include  hot  drinks  of  tea,  coffee,  or 
milk  with  the  box  lunch  for  the  night  work. 
WORKING  CONDITIONS  ON  LOCATION- 

(g)  Where  women  extras  work  on  location,  portable 
toilets  affording  at  least  one  seat  for  every  20 
women  shall  be  provided,  and  shall  be  kept  in 
a  clean  and  sanitary  condition.  The  seats  of 
these  portable  toilets  shall  be  so  screened  be- 
tween each  one,  and  in  front,  that  they  afford 
decent  privacy.  Adequate  washing  facilities  and 
pure  drinking  water  shall  also  be  provided  for 
such  workers.  Every  woman  and  minor  shall 
be  entitled  to  not  less  than  one-half  hour  for 
each  meal. 

SECTION  6— The  Industrial  Welfare  Commission 
shall  exercise  exclusive  jurisdiction  over  all 
questions  arising  as  to  the  administration  and  in- 
terpretation of  this  order. 

SECTION  NO.  7— Statutes  of  California,  1913, 
Chapter  324,  Section  11.  "Every  employer  or  oth- 
er person,  who,  either  individually  or  as  an  officer, 
agent  or  employee  of  a  corporation,  or  other 
person,  violates  or  refuses  or  neglects  to  com- 
ply with  the  provisions  of  this  Act,  or  any  orders 
or  rulings  of  this  Commission,  shall  be  guilty  of 
a  misdemeanor,  and  upon  conviction  thereof  be 
punished  by  a  fine  of  not  less  than  $50,  or  by 
imprisonment  for  not  less  than  sixty  days,  or  by 
both  such  fine  and  imprisonment." 

SECTION  NO.  8 — Labor  Laws  of  California, 
1915,  Chapter  56,  Sec.  1.  "Any  manager,  super- 
intendent, foreman  or  other  person  having  author- 
ity from  his  employer  to  hire,  employ  or  direct 
the  services  of  other  persons  in  such  employ- 
ment who  shall  demand  or  receive  any  fee, 
gift,  or  other  remuneration  in  consideration  of 
hiring  or  employing  any  person  to  perform  work 
or  services  for  such  employer,  or  permitting  said 
person  to  continue  in  said  employment,  is  guilty 
of  a  misdemeanor,  and  upon  conviction  thereof 
shall  be  fined  not  more  than  $300  for  such  of- 
fense." 

NOTICE; — Nothing  in  this  order  prevents  em- 
ployers from  paying  more  than  the  rates  fixed 
herein  by  the  Industrial  Welfare  Commission. 
Every  employer  shall  post  a  copy  of  this  order 
in  a  conspicious  place  where  it  can  be  read  by 
the  women  and  minor  employees.

OF  CALIF. 

The  term  further  means  and  includes  any

advertisement  or  otherwise,  offer,  as  one  of  its 
main  objects  or  purposes,  to  procure  employ- 
ment for  any  person  who  shall  pay  for  its  ser-

ship fees  of  any  sort  whatsoever  where  the  main 
object  of  the  person  paying  is  to  secure  em- 
ployment ;  provided,  that  nothing  in  this  act  shall

economic  adjustment,  civic  betterment  and  the 
giving  of  vocational  guidance  and  placement  to

actress,  or  other  dramatic  services,  where  such 
contract  has  been  approved  by  tbe  Supreme  Court 
of  the  County  where  such  minor  resides  or  is 
employed.  Such  approval  may  be  given  on  the 
petition  of  either  party  to  the  contract,  after  such 
reasonable  notice  to  the  other  party  thereto  as 
may  be  fixed  by  said  court,  with  opportunity 
to  such  other  party  to  appear  and  be  heard. 

This  new  law  does  not  take  any  rights  away 
from  the  minor,  and  at  the  same  time  does  not 


put  the  producer  at  a  disadvantage,  such  as  he 
has  been  handicapped  with  in  the  past. 

A  minor  has  always  been  a  ward  of  the 
court  and  the  purpose  of  the  new  law  is  to 
receive  the  sanction  of  the  court  for  any 
contracts  to  be  signed  by  a  minor,  and  if  the 
court  is  satisfied  that  the  contract  is  fair  and 
equitable,  then  the  contract  is  approved  by  the 
court,  and  cannot  be  disaffirmed,  but  must 
be  carried  out  in  its  entirety.

AMENDMENT  TO  CIVIL  CODE, 
REGARDING  AGE  AT  WHICH  MIN- 
ORS REACH  MATURITY. 

Prior  to  July  29,  1927,  a  female  reached  her 
majority  at  18  years,  but  the  amendment,  was 
changed  on  July  29  to  21  years.  This  amend- 
ment makes  both  the  male  and  female  age  of 
majority  the  same,  namely,  21  years.  In  order 
for  a  minor  to  file  suit,  it  is  necessary  for  a 
guardian  "Ad  litem"  (for  the  purpose  of  the 
suit),  to  be  appointed,  who,  as  a  rule,  is  the 
parent  of  the  minor.

Laws  and  Decisions  Affecting  Distribution-Exhibition 


IMPORTANT  ARBITRATION 
BOARD  DECISIONS 

CONTRACT  MUST  HOLD,  ARBITRATORS 
INSTRUCTED — Arbitrators  are  not  bound  by 
technical  rules  of  evidence,  but  are  without 
power  or  authority  to  "adopt  or  apply  any  rule 
which  shall  be  at  variance  with  any  of  the  pro- 
visions of  the  Standard  Exhibition  Contract,  or 
any  other  contract  between  the  parties,  or  the 
rights  and  obligations  of  the  parties  thereunder, 
the  Hays  organization  instructed  Film  Board  of 
Trade  arbitrators,  in  a  code  sent  to  all  Boards 
in  Nov.,  1927.  The  code  is  based  upon  "Sug- 
gestions of  the  American  Arbitration  Ass'n  for 
the  Guidance  of  Arbitration." 

EXHIBITOR  CANNOT  HOLD  PRINT  TO 
USE  AS  A  CLUB — An  exhibitor  who  has 
money  due  him  from  a  distributor  may  not  hold 
a  print  in  order  to  force  payment  of  that  claim, 
the  Court  of  Common  Pleas  in  Philadelphia,  in 
October,  1927,  found  in  upholding  a  verdict  of 
the  Philadelphia  Arbitration  Board,  granting 
Pathe  damages  against  the  Sunbury  &  Selins- 
grove  Railway  Co.,  which  operates  the  Rolling 
Green  Park.  After  playing  a  contracted  picture, 
the  railway  company  refused  to  return  the  print 
until  repayment  of  a  $50  deposit  which  it  had 
advanced.  When  this  was  refused,  arbitration 
action  was  started  and  Pathe  was  awarded  $1,080 
and  an  additional  sum  of  $20  a  day  until  the 
print  was  returned.  The  action  and  decision 
were  ignored  by  the  railway  company.  The 
film  subsequently  was  replevined  and  the  damage 
action  started. 

COURT  DENIES  MOTION  ON  CREDIT 
SYSTEM  CASE — Supreme  Court  of  the  Dis- 
trict of  Columbia,  in  October,  1927,  denied  ap- 
plication of  James  Hartlove,  of  the  Flag  theater, 
Baltimore,  Md.,  for  injunction  to  force  exchanges 
to  supply  films  without  payment  of  $500  deposit 
to  each  D.  of  C.  exchange.  In  denying  the  mo- 
tion, the  court  said  : 

"The  court  does  not  deem  it  necessary,  at  this 
stage  of  the  case,  to  further  discuss,  in  this  me- 
morandum, the  various  allegations,  counter  alleg- 
ations, charges,  counter  charges,  denials,  etc., 
as  set  forth  in  the  amended  bill  of  complaint  and 
in  the  two  sets  of  affidavits.  Suffice  it  to  say 
that  it  appears  therefrom  that,  when  the  credit 
committee  came  to  consider  plaintiff's  request 
for  a  credit  rating,  as  preliminary  to  obtaining 
films,  it  found  itself  confronted  with  a  situation 
somewhat  as  follows : 

"A  former  proprietor  of  the  theater  had  failed 
to  keep  his  contract  engagements,  to  the  financial 


loss  of  the  film  exchanges,  then  came  plaintiff's 
father,  and  he,  too,  defaulted  in  the  performance 
of  his  contracts,  although,  apparently  he  had 
had  some  ten  years'  experience  in  the  moving  pic- 
ture business,  and  again  financial  loss  resulted 
to  the  film  exchanges ;  and  then  came  the  son, 
having  had  no  previous  experience  in  the  busi- 
ness, being  engaged  in  the  bakery  business,  and 
he  sought  to  secure  from  the  defendants  con- 
tracts for  films. 

"From  investigation  made  by  the  credit  com- 
mittee, it  was  of  opinion  that  the  alleged  transfer 
of  the  business  from  father  to  son  was  colorable 
only,  and  to  avoid  performance  of  his  existing 
contract  obligations,  and  that  the  father  really 
would  continue  to  operate  the  business,  but  under 
the  name  of  his  son. 

"Having  in  mind  the  experience  of  the  past 
concerning  the  Flag  theater,  as  well  as  the  ad- 
ditional matter  stated,  the  credit  committee 
reached  the  conclusion  that  the  financial  risk 
was  not  a  good  one  and  that  it  should  exact  a 
cash  security  of  $500  for  each  exchange  supply- 
ing films  to  plaintiff ;  not,  however,  the  max- 
imum of  $1,000  as  permitted  by  the  rules  of  the 
board. 

"Under  the  present  state  of  the  record,  the  court 
is  unable  to  say  that  the  requirement  that  the 
plaintiff  furnish  cash  security  is  either  arbitrary, 
unreasonable,  or  improper.  No  showing  what- 
ever is  made  herein  of  any  unwillingness  on  the 
part  of  the  defendants  to  supply  the  plaintiff  with 
films,  if  they  can  be  appropriately  secured  against 
loss.  If  the  facts  be  as  contended  by  defendants, 
it  would  seem  that  the  situation  as  to  the  Flag 
theater  was  one  where  security  might  properly 
be  required." 
VERBAL  PACTS  ARE  NOT  BINDING— Ver- 
bal promises  not  embodied  in  the  contract  are 
not  binding  upon  a  distributor  and  performance 
for  any  part  of  a  contract  makes  binding  the 
entire  part  of  a  contract,  the  Milwaukee  Arbi- 
tration Board  ruled  in  Sept.,  1927,  in  case 
brought  by  Vitagraph  against  M.  A.  Manning, 
Opera  House,  Baldwin,  Wis.  A  seventh  arbitra- 
tor was  necessary  to  reach  decision.  Manning 
claimed  he  signed  the  contract  because  of  prom- 
ises of  service  made  to  him  by  the  salesman 
and  because  of  alleged  threats  to  sell  this  con- 
tract to  his  competitor.  He  further  claimed 
that  he  signed  at  a  price  that  reduced  his  profits 
to  almost  nothing,  and  that  several  pictures  in 
the  contract  could  not  be  delivered  as  sold. 
He  also  stated  that  some  of  the  pictures  were 
of  such  character  that  it  meant  loss  of  patronage 
to  show  them.  The  board  came  to  a  deadlock, 
and  called  in  a  seventh  arbitrator.    The  latter,  in

voting  against  the  exhibitor,  held  that  since 
the  promises  made  to  Manning  by  the  salesman 
were  verbal  and  not  in  the  contract  they  could 
not  be  construed  as  misstatements  of  fact.  The 
arbitrator  also  held  that  Manning  was  at  fault  in 
accepting  the  salesman's  statements  without 
proof  of  reliability,  and  that  he  should  have  se- 
cured definite  assurance  as  to  promised  installa- 
tion of  Vitaphone  and  on  what  terms  it  was  to 
be  paid. 

As  Manning  had  accepted  several  pictures  on 
the  contract,  even  though  it  had  not  been  con- 
firmed on  time,  and  had  given  dates  for  other 
films,  he  was  legally  bound  to  go  through  with 
the  contract  as  stipulated.  The  Board  agreed 
that  the  exhibitor  was  not  compelled  to  accept 
pictures  in  which  the  theme  had  been  changed. 
Furthermore  any  which  he  could  prove  to  Vita- 
graph  were  of  such  a  type  that  he  could  not 
show  in  his  theater  it  was  agreed  they  should  be 
stricken  from  the  contract. 
"ISIDE"  AGREEMENTS  OUT 

No  alleged  agreements  between  exhibitor  and 
distributor  which  are  not  embodied  in  the  con- 
tract can  be  considered   by   boards  of  arbitra- 
tion,  C.  C.  Pettijohn,  head  of  Film   Boards  of 
Trade,  declared  in  April,   1927,  in  commenting 
on   the  report   that   Minneapolis  and  Cleveland 
arbitrators    are    to    admit    side    agreements  as 
evidence.     In  recent  decisions,  the  Minneapolis 
board  has  admitted  as  evidence  verbal  promises 
made    between    exhibitor    and    salesmen  which 
were  not  incorporated  in  the  contract.  Cleve- 
land's board,   it  was  stated,   would   follow  this 
lead.    Under  the  terms  of  the  contract,  on  which 
arbitration  is  based,  only  the  written  instrument 
may  be  considered  by  exhibitors   in  considera- 
tion of  any  case,  Pettijohn  states. 
EXHIBITOR   LIABLE   IN    SALE  OF  THE- 
ATER— Exhibitors  who  sell  their  theaters  with- 
out  making   provision   for  a   film  contract  are 
liable,   under  a    ruling  handed   down    in  June, 
1927,    by   the    Indiana    Supreme    Court,  which 
decided   against    Blackstone   Theater    Corp  in 
case  brought  by  M-G-M  in  1922.    The  decision 
brought  to  a  close  one  of  the  bitterest  film  suits 
ever  fought  in  Indiana.     M-G-M   filed  suit  for 
$5,000    damages    against    Blackstone    in  1922 
claiming  that  the  latter,  after  playing  one  pic- 
ture under  a  Goldwyn  franchise,  sold  the  theater 
without  making  any  provision  for  the  remaining 
pictures.     The  case  was  reached  for  trial  Oct. 
??'„1923,  and  when  a  verdict  was  rendered  in 
M-G-M  s  favor,  the  defendant  appealed  and  the 
judgment    was   affirmed.     A    motion    was  then 
made  by  defendant  to  transfer  the  case  to  Su- 
preme Court,  which  finally  disposed  of  the  case 
by  denying  Blackstone's  application. 
_   Exhibitors  who  sell  their  houses  without  mak- 
ing provision  for  proper  disposition  of  existing 
contracts  are  liable  and  will  be  so  treated  by 
the    Washington,    D.    C.    arbitration    board  it 
was    emphasized    by    two    decisions    made  in 
June,    1927.     One   was   an   award   to    Fox  for 
$2,862  against  Tri-State  Theater  Circuit,  Fred- 
erick,   Md.      This    company    turned    over  the 
Opera  House  at  Frederick  to   Stanley,  without 
providing    for    disposition    of    contracts  The 
other  case  was  an  award  of  $3,900  against  Pan- 
ther  Valley  Amusement  Co.  for  a  similar  cause 
CONTRACT    VOIDED     BY     CHANGE  OF 
i>lUKY— Radical  change  of  the  story  of  "White 
Hannels,     alleged  to  have  been  made  between 
the  time  Vernon  Locey  of  the  Temple,  Howell 
Mich     contracted    for    the    production    and  the 
playdate,  relieved  him  of  obligation  to  play  the 
picture,   the   Detroit  Arbitration   Board  decided 
in  August,   1927,  in  disallowing  claim  of  War- 
"e5S  a,gamst  the  exhibitor.     The  exchange  was 
ordered  to  pay  Locey   expense  incurred  in  de- 
fending the  action. 
ADVERTISING  NOT  CONSIDERED  PROOF 
—Newspaper  advertising  on  a  picture  and  the 
display  of  paper  in  the  lobby  are  not  proof  that 
a  picture  has  played  a  theater,  the  Washington, 
U.    (-.    Arbitration    Board    decided   in  rejecting 
claim    for    damages    against    Warner  exchange 
filed   by   the    Princess  and    Goodtime  theaters. 
Baltimore. 


In  its  action,  the  theater  firm  asked  damages 
of  $250  and  cancellation  of  contract  with  dis- 
tributor for  alleged  violation  of  protection.  When 
no  one  could  be  produced  who  had  seen  the 
picture  at  the  opposition  house  the  case  was 
dismissed.  The  exchange  testified  it  did  not 
supply  the  attraction. 
EXHIBITORS  LIABLE  FOR  MISSOUTS— 
Exhibitors  who  cause  missouts  by  holding  over 
films  are  to  be  made  co-defendants  in  Minne- 
apolis Arbitration  Board  actions  brought  against 
the  exchange  for  damage  because  of  such  miss- 
outs. This  ruling  is  believed  to  be  the  first  of 
its  kind.  Heretofore  the  board  has  assessed 
offending  exhibitors  a  flat  daily  fee  for  films 
held  over. 

PLEA  OF  TECHNICALITY  NOT  UPHELD— 

Shipment  of  a  film  by  express  in  order  to  avoid 
a  dark  house,  does  not  constitute  violation  of 
contract  from  the  standpoint  of  equity,  even 
though  parcel  post  shipments  are  stipulated  in 
the  agreement,  according  to  a  ruling  of  the 
Des    Moines    Arbitration  Board, 

The  ruling  was  made  in  the  case  of  Fox 
against  the  Opera  House,  Waucoma,  la.,  for  a 
refused  shipment.  In  its  defense,  the  theater 
contended  the  contract  was  voided  when  the 
exchange  shipped  a  film  express,  instead  of  by 
parcel  post  as  agreed  upon.  The  exchange  de- 
clared its  action  prevented  a  dark  house. 
ALTERATION  OF  CONTRACT  —  Minneapolis 
Arbitration  Board,  in  April,  1927,  handed  down 
decisions  on  alteration  of  contract,  the  "equity 
and  justice,"  policy  outlined  by  Will  H.  Hays 
and  on  approval  notices. 

Warners  lost  its  case  against  Oscar  Wickard 
of  the  Lux,  Perham,  Minn.,  when  his  ex- 
hibitor copy  of  contract  differed  from  the  ap- 
proved copy  he  received.  Blackmore  Bros., 
Duluth  showmen,  won  three  cases,  two  because 
of  contract  violations  and  one  because  of  the 
equity  and  justice  feature.  The  firm  had  been 
forced  to  close  its  first  run  Orpheum  and  testified 
that  it  was  in  need  of  assistance.  The  Capitol 
and  Diamond,  which  Blackmores  operate  were 
ordered  to  play  pictures  according  to  contract 
as  available,  with  the  distributor  given  six 
months  to  sell  first  run  rights. 

Pathe  lost  its  case  against  W.  M.  Root  of 
Claremont,  N.  D.,  when  the  exhibitor  proved 
he  had  not  received  notice  of  approval  within 
the  specified  period. 
EXCHANGE  MANAGERS  VIOLATING 
BOARD  RULES  TO  BE  DISCIPLINED— 
Decision  of  the  Film  Boards  of  Trade  to  dis- 
cipline all  exchange  managers  found  guilty  of 
violating  Board  rules  and  regulations,  was  made 
by  the  organization  in  Nov.,  1927.  The  two 
declared  causes  for  making  the  new  decision 
are  attributed  to  the  practice  of  some  managers 
in  selling  films  to  exhibitors  who  had  not  been 
given  clearance  by  credit  committees,  or  who 
had  failed  to  pay  a  deposit  after  defaulting  on 
an  arbitration  award.  Managers  found  guilty 
of  violations  are  punishable  by  fine  of  $25  on 
the  first  offense;  fine  of  $50  for  second  offense, 
and  permanent  expulsion  from  the  organization, 
which  would  make  the  offending  member  prac- 
tically ineligible  to  hold  a  manager's  position 
with  any  company  affiliated  with  the  Film 
Boards,  for  the  third  offense.

This  Sheet  Amounts  To  Nothing  1 !! 

The  fool  thing  never  had  a  special  edition  during  its  existence. 
It  never  publishes  a  scare-head,  even  on  the  most  important  stories, 
but  merely  segregates  terse  paragraphs  under  stock  heads. 

And  can  you  imagine  an  alleged  regional  motion  picture  trade  paper 
never  publishing  an  illustration  in  its  reading  columns? 

They  call  it  a  regional,  although  it  covers  a  16%  film  quota,  thus 
classing  it  with  Denver  with  \l/2  film  quota.  Everybody  knows  that 
regionals  are  all  alike — only  Film  Curb  is  worse. 

A  scissors  grinder  is  kept  busy  sharpening  the  tools  with  which  they 
operate  on  the  output  of  real  clever  publicity  departments.  It  only 
makes  the  fool  editors  work  harder  to  fill  their  columns  with  real  news. 
They  must  be  gluttons  for  labor. 

The  darned  rascals  dig  up  and  write  their  own  text  matter  instead 
of  letting  clever  press  agents  take  the  burden  off  their  shoulders.  And 
listen! — their  reading  matter  appears  with  absolutely  no  quotation 
marks  or  parenthesis.    They're  bugs. 

It's  a  PAID  circulation  too,  with  a  second  class  entry  at  the  post 
office.  And  they  say  this  is  a  free  country.  Of  course  all  the  exhibitors 
may  GET  it  and  they  may  all  READ  it,  but  you  never  see  Film  Curb 
stacked  high  on  exhibitors'  desks  like  you  do  the  big  bulky  trade  journals 
and  composite  press  books.    It  is  to  laff. 

If  Life  and  Judge  saw  Film  Curb's  stock  heads  they  would  have 
material  enough  for  several  funny  pages.  For  instance: —  Important 
Tidings — Latest  Exclusives — Editorial  Flashes — Heard  On  The  Curb) — 
Business  Brevities — Our  Organizations — Arbitration  Board — Films  Now 
Showing — Thirty  Months  Age — Personality  Plus  and  Current  Pictures. 
Can  you  IMAGINE? 

And  when  you  kid  Tom  Hamlin  and  Marion  Weber  about  how 
different  their  sheet  is  from  the  regulation  models  among  the  bulky  trade 
books  they  simply  smirk  and  murmur: — 

"Decidedly  Distinctive!!"

express  company  or  other  common  carrier,  with 
intent  to  sell,  distribute,  circulate  or  exhibit, 
any  matter  or  thing  herein  forbidden  to  be  de- 
posited for  mailing,  delivery  or  carriage  in  inter- 
state commerce. 

Passed  in  1912  as  a  result  of  the  agitation 
which  followed  the  Johnson-Jeffries  fight,  the 
law  was  tested  in  1915,  when  an  importer 
sought  to  compel  the  Collector  of  the  Port  of 
Newark,  N.  J.,  to  admit  the  pictures  of  the 
Johnson-Willard  fight,  which  took  place  in 
Havana.  Asserting  that  the  law  was  unconstitu- 
tional, since  Congress,  under  the  pretense  of 
regulating  interstate  commerce,  had  actually  ex- 
ercised a  police  power  that  did  not  belong  to  it, 
this  importer  carried  his  case  to  the  Supreme 
Court  and  lost.  The  court  held  that  the  law 
was  constitutional  and  that  "the  contentions  are 
so  devoid  of  merit  as  to  cause  them  to  be 
frivolous." 

Early  in  1916  another  effort  was  made  to 
bring  in  the  Johnson-Willard  pictures,  the  im- 
porter bringing  them  in  this  time  by  way  of 
Maine  and  asserting  that,  since  his  films  were 
negatives  instead  of  positives  and  were  to  be 
exhibited  to  athletic  clubs  instead  of  to  the 
public,  they  did  not  come  within  the  statute. 
But  the  District  Court  dismissed  his  case.  And 
in  November,  1916,  an  effort  was  made  to  get 
around  the  law  which  was  ingenious  indeed. 
Instead  of  importing  the  films,  again  those  of 
the  Johnson-Willard  fight,  those  concerned  rigged 
up  a  machine  that  straddled  the  Canadian 
border.  On  one  side  the  original  film  was  run 
off,  and  on  the  other  side  a  blank  film  recorded 
the  pictures  so  as  to  form  a  duplicate.  Thus 
it  was  contended  that  since  nothing  had  crossed 
the  border  except  rays  of  light  the  law  had 
not  been  violated.  But  when  the  case  was  tried 
in  New  York  the  court  held  that  such  an  act 
came   within   the   meaning   of  the  statute. 

In  short,  the  law  has  been  attacked  on  all  the 
points  that  would  occur,  and  has  been  found 
valid  in  every  case. 

FIGHT  FILMS  LEGALIZED  IN  CANADA — 
Action  in  May,  1927,  on  an  amendment  passed 
by  the  provincial  legislature  of  Saskatchewan, 
withdraws  the  restriction  upon  films  depicting 
prize  fights,  and  such  pictures  are  now  permitted 
to  be  shown.  The  section  of  the  original  act 
dealing  with  the  censoring  of  posters  and  litho- 
graphs was  revised  and  now  provides  that  the 
censor  may  require  that  such  advertising  matter 
depicting  scenes  from  films  intended  to  be  ex- 
hibited within  the  province  be  submitted  to  him 
in  advance  and  he  may  prohibit  the  further  use 
of  any  posters  or  advertising  materials  until  sat- 
isfied they  are  fit  for  exhibition. 

FEDERAL  INTERPRETATION  OF  FIGHT 
LAW — Showing  of  fight  films  in  any  state  is 
not  illegal,  and  exhibitors  and  distributors  can- 
not be  classified  as  illegal  possessors  if  they 
do  not  receive  the  film  from  a  person  who  is 
a  common  carrier,  express  company  or  agent 
thereof. 

This  was  the  ruling  made  in  New  York  City 
in  October,  1927,  by  Federal  Judge  W.  Good- 
art,  in  instructing  the  grand  jury  investigating 
bringing  of  the  Tunney-Dempsey  films  into 
New  York  state.  This  is  the  first  interpretation 
of  the  law  to  be  made  by  a  Federal  Court.

Laws  and  Decisions 

SUNDAY  CLOSING— "BLUE"  LAWS 

It  is  inadvisable  to  list  definite  rulings  pertain- 
ing to  "blue"  laws,  or  towns  which  have  voted 
either  for  or  against  Sunday  closing  during  1927, 
this  because  of  conflicting  opinions  as  to  the 
legality  of  the  law  in  some  communities  where 
theaters  continue  to  operate  on  the  Sabbath  despite 
new  rulings  to  the  contrary.  In  many  cases,  an 
exhibitor  operates  on  Sunday  and  pays  a  fine  for 


October,  1927,  in  New  York,  following  results 
of  a  hearing  before  Federal  Judge  Thatcher, 
New  York,  who  denied  a  motion  for  an  injunc- 
tion against  United  States  Attorney  Turtle 
and  the  U.  S.  Marshal's  office  which  would 
have  barred  them  from  proceeding  against  the 
exhibition  of  the  fight  films  in  New  York  City. 
Turtle  explained  his  office  has  no  intention  of 
interfering  with  the  exhibition  of  the  films, 
which  statement  caused  Judge  Thatcher  to  deny 
the  motion  for  injunction.

MISCELLANEOUS  DECISIONS, 
DECREES 

ARBITRATION    LA  WIS  ADOPTED— In  June, 

1927,  New  York's  arbitration  law  was  upheld 
by  the  Court  of  Appeals,  reversing  a  decision 
of  the  Appelate  Division  in  the  case  of  Cheney 
Bros.,  against  Jorocco  Dresses,  Inc.  Contract 
between  the  two  parties  contained  an  arbitration 
clause,  claimed  to  have  been  induced  by  fraud, 
but  the  appeal  court  ordered  the  case  to  proceed 
to  arbitration. 

In  July,  1927,  area  for  the  settlement  of 
commercial  disputes  by  arbitration  was  extended 
to  the  states  of  California  and  Pennsylvania  as 
the  result  of  the  enactment  of  arbitration  laws. 

New  York,  New  Jersey,  Massachusetts,  Penn- 
sylvania, Oregon  and  California  now  recognize 
the  validity,  enforceability  and  irrevocability  of 
agreements  to  arbitrate  disputes  that  may  later 
arise  out  of  business  contracts,  as  well  as  sub- 
missions to  arbitration  of  existing  controversies. 
NEW  RULE  ON  SHIPMENTS— After  February, 
1927,  films  in  Boston  territory  were  ordered 
handled  by  approved  carriers  of  standing,  fol- 
lowing agreement  of  exchanges  to  refuse  to 
make  shipment  through  other  agencies.  Unless 
the  exhibitor  agrees  in  writing  to  assume  losses 
by  fire,  theft  or  damage  to  films  in  transit  none 
will  be  shipped  through  any  but  approved  car- 
riers. 

FILMS  OF  1,0000  FT.  IN  LENGTH  AC- 
CEPTED IN  MAILS — Regulations  governing 
shipment  of  films  via  U.  S.  Mail,  were  modified 
on  August  12,  1927,  to  provide  for  the  ac- 
ceptance of  films  up  to  1,000  ft.  in  length,  when 
shipped  in  specially  designed  container;  enabling 
manufacturers  and  producers  to  send  films  in 
lengths  of  200,  400  and  600  ft.,  instead  of 
splitting  them  up  into  smaller  units,  for  mailing 
in  separate  containers. 

NEWSREEL  CONTRACTS  AUTOMATICAL- 
LY RENEWED— Unless  exhibitors  cancel  them 
30  days  before  expiration,  newsreel  contracts 
automatically  are  renewed,  under  terms  of  an 
amendment  to  the  Standard  Exhibition  Contract, 
which  stipulates  that  exchanges  must  notify 
exhibitors  45  days  before  the  contract  expires, 
giving  the  exhibitor  15  days  in  which  to  renew 
or  cancel  the  agreement,  as  reported  in  June, 
1927. 

DISTRIBUTORS  ON  BOOKING  COMBINES 

— Effective  in  July,  1927,  distributors  who  are 
members  of  the  Hays  organization  discontinued 
selling  film  to  any  booking  combines.  Individ- 
ually, distributors  voted  thumbs  down  on  book- 
ing companies.  These  separate  actions  go  back 
over  a  period  of  years,  but  the  decision  in  July 
was  the  first  instance  where  national  distributors, 
in  a  body,  adopted  such  a  course.  Later,  an 
elastic  policy  was  adopted  under  which  some 
booking  combines  were  served.

procedure  week  after  week.  Then  again,  "blue 
noses"  and  those  opposed  to  Sunday  closing  con- 
tinuously battle  in  the  courts  to  establish  the 
legality  of  such  a  measure  in  their  community,  the 
result  being  that  the  status  of  the  law  is  some- 
times never  established.

CASES  INVOLVING  INJURY  TO 
PATRONS 

From  time  to  time,  there  has  been  considerable 
discussion  relative  to  the  liability  of  theater  pro- 
prietors for  damages  as  a  result  of  injuries  to 
patrons  caused  by  persons  who  have  concessions 
to  sell  candy,  ice  cream,  soft  drinks,  booklets,  and 
the  like,  in  theaters. 

Generally  speaking,  a  theater  owner  is  liable  for 
an  injury  caused  by  means  within  his  control. 
And,  furthermore,  although  the  cause  of  the  in- 
jury is  not  within  his  exclusive  control,  he  is 
liable  if  he  knowingly  permits  instrumentalities 
to  exist  which,  by  the  exercise  of  ordinary  care,  he 
should  have  known  would  result  in  the  injury. 

CONCESSIONAIRE  LIABLE  IN  THE- 
ATER— In  the  case  of  Block  vs.  Opera  Holding 
Co.,  (Ref.)  154  N.  E.  761,  a  theater  proprietor 
was  held  not  liable  for  the  injuries'  sustained  by  a 
patron  upon  whom  lemonade  was  spilled  by  the 
employee  of  a  person  who  had  a  concession  to  sell 
such  products  in  the  theater. 

The  facts  of  the  case  are  that  a  woman  patron 
sued  the  theater  proprietor  for  damages  to  recover 
for  injury  to  her  person  and  damage  to  her  cloth- 
ing, caused  by  the  spilling  of  lemonade  upon  her 
while  occupying  a  seat  in  a  theater  during  a  public 
performance.  The  woman  was  seated  at  the  lower 
end  of  an  isle  in  the  balcony.  At  the  upper  end 
of  this  aisle  was  a  large  container  of  lemonade 
which  was  sold  to  persons  in  the  audience. 

The  employee  who  spilled  the  lemonade  testified 
that  for  four  years  he  had  been  the  manager  of  a 
"concession"  to  sell  lemonade  in  the  theater,  and 
that  he  was  not  paid  by  the  theater  owner  but  by 
another  person  who  had  the  concession  from  the 
theater  owner  to  maintain  a  stand  at  the  head  of 
the  aisle.  None  of  the  lemonade  was  sold  to 
persons  in  the  audience  while  in  their  seats. 

It  appears  from  the  testimony  that  while  the 
patron  was  in  her  seat  watching  the  performance, 
and  while  the  theater  was  dark,  the  vat  of  lemon- 
ade was  overturned  and  a  large  quantity  of  it  was 
spilled  upon  her,  as  a  result  of  which  she  became 
ill  by  the  shock  and,  also,  her  clothing  was  dam- 
aged. The  patron  sued  the  theater  proprietor  for 
damages  contending  that  he  had  negligently  per- 
mitted the  injury  inflicting  vat  of  lemonade  to  re- 
main in  the  theater. 

The  litigation  was  carried  into  the  higher  Court 
which  held  the  theater  proprietor  not  liable,  and 
said  : 

"The  defendant  (theater  owner)  leased  the 
privilege  of  selling  lemonade  at  the  stand  at  the 
end  of  the  passageway  to  the  employer  of  Heller, 
and  Heller  was  the  manager  of  that  business,  yet 
there  was  no  evidence  to  show  he  was  in  the  em- 
ploy of  the  defendant  (theater  owner),  nor  that 
the  defendant  had  anything  to  do  with  the  sale  of 
lemonade  in  the  theater.  .  .  .  While  the  mere  oc- 
currence of  an  injury  sometimes  raises  a  presump- 
tion of  liability  on  the  part  of  a  defendant  (the- 
ater owner)  yet  in  such  cases  it  must  appear  that 
the  instrumentality  causing  the  injury  was  in  his 
control.  All  that  appears  in  the  present  case  is 
that  the  lemonade  was  spilled  on  the  patron.  The 
evidence  does  not  show  that  it  was  the  property 
of  the  defendant  (theater  owner)  or  within  its  con- 
trol." 

Therefore,  the  law  is  established  that  where  a 
theater  proprietor  leases  or  rents  a  portion  of  the 
theater  to  another  person  to  transact  a  legitimate 
business,  the  nature  of  which  is  not  dangerous,  the 
theater  owner  is  not  liable  for  injuries  caused  by 
the  lessee,  or  owner  of  the  concession. 

NEGLIGENCE  OF  EMPLOYEE  MUST  BE 
PROVED — The  outcome  of  a  recent  high  court 
case,  although  not  directly  involving  a  theater 
owner,  is  very  important  for  the  reason  that  the 


same  points  of  the  law  have  been  involved  in 
numerous  past  litigations  where  patrons  have  sued 
theater  proprietors  for  damages  as  a  result  of  in- 
juries sustained  when  being  guided  to  seats  by 
ushers. 

In  the  litigation  of  Micoletti  vs.  Park  (Ref.) 
Circuit  &  Realty  Co.,  287  S.  W.  661,  the  proprie- 
tor of  an  amusement  park  was  held  not  liable  for 
damages  as  a  result  of  injuries  sustained  by  a 
patron.  A  review  of  this  litigation  imparts  in- 
teresting facts  of  the  attitude  of  the  court  in 
cases  where  a  patron  claims  damages  as  a  result  of 
carelessness  of  a  theater  or  amusement  park  em- 
ployee. 

The  facts  of  the  case  are  a  proprietor  operated 
and  maintained  in  a  pleasure  resort  and  park  a 
building  in  which  he  conducted  various  forms 
of  amusement,  which  the  general  public  were  in- 
vited upon  the  payment  of  an  admission.  Among 
the  amusements  was  a  slide  or  incline  upon  which 
patrons  were  permitted  to  slide  from  a  raised 
elevation  in  the  building  to  a  floor  at  a  lower 
elevation  while  seated  upon  a  small  carpet  or  pad 
furnished  by  proprietor. 

After  paying  the  regular  entrance  fee  the  two 
girls  seated  themselves  upon  the  pad  at  the  top 
of  the  incline  and  the  attendant  in  charge  started 
them  down  the  incline  by  pushing  them  in  a  usual 
manner.  The  girls  fell  off  the  pad  and  were 
severely  injured  in  making  the  descent  in  topsy- 
turvy manner. 

They  sued  the  proprietor,  alleging  that  the  at- 
tendant at  the  moment  they  were  about  to  com 
mence  their  descent  down  said  slide  or  incline, 
carelessly  and  negligently,  and  with  great  force 
and  violence,  suddenly  and  without  warning 
pushed  or  shoved  them  down  the  slide  or  incline, 
causing  them  to  descend  with  great  rapidity  and 
speed,  and  causing  them  to  lose  their  balance  and 
fall  backward  upon  the  slide  or  incline. 

However,  the  Court  held  the  proprietor  not 
liable  for  the  reason  that  the  evidence  did  not 
clearly  disclose  that  the  attendant  was  at  fault. 

THEATER  IN  WEST  VA.  HELD  LIABLE 
— Laws  of  West  Virginia,  holding  an  amuse- 
ment company  not  to  be  an  insurer  of  the  safety 
of  persons  visiting  a  theater  and  injured  as  a  re- 
sult of  defective  equipment,  unless  proof  of  knowl- 
edge of  such  defect  by  the  company  can  be  given, 
are  held  by  implication  to  be  invalid,  as  a  result 
of  the  refusal  of  the  supreme  court  to  go  further 
into  the  case  of  Marianita  Truschel  against  the 
Rex  Amusement  Co.  in  April,  1927. 

The  plaintiff  was  injured  by  falling  down  a  stair- 
case as  a  result  of  tripping  on  a  defective  carpet 
and  was  awarded  damages  in  the  sum  of  $18,000 
in  the  West  Virginia  courts.  The  company  ap- 
pealed to  the  Federal  court,  which  refused  to  re- 
hear the  case.

INFRINGEMENT  OF  THEATER 
NAMES 

IMPORTANT  DECISION  AFFECTING 
SIMILARITY — For  the  reason  that  in  numerous 
instances,  the  names  of  theaters  in  the  same  city 
are  similar  in  appearance  and  in  articulation,  the 
outcome  of  the  case  of  Cleveland  Opera  Co.  vs. 
Cleveland  Civic  Opera  Ass'n,  (Ref.)  154  N.  E. 
352,  decided  recently,  imparts  valuable  information 
on  this  subject. 

The  facts  of  the  case  are  in  1920  the  Cleveland 
Opera  Co.  was  organized.  In  1924  a  different 
company,  at  a  different  location,  was  organized 
under  the  name  of  the  Cleveland  Civic  Opera 
Ass'n.  The  former  company  filed  suit  to  prevent 
the  latter  from  using  the  selected  name. 

Generally  speaking,  names  used  to  indicate  busi- 
nesses, as  theaters,  are  legally  known  as  "trade- 
names" and  are  quite  different  from  "trade-marks." 
The  latter  relate  specifically  to  the  names  of  salable 
merchandise  and  may  be  registered  in  the  U.  S. 
Patent  Office.  Moreover,  tradenames,  as  applied 
to  businesses,  are  not  registerable.  However,  the 
owner  of  an  infringed  trade-name  may  sue  the  in- 
fringer on  the  grounds  of  unfair  competition. 

It  has  been  held  in  numerous  instances  that  un- 
fair competition  is  not  confined  to  the  imitation 
of  a  trade-mark,  but  takes  as  many  forms  as  the

ingenuity  of  man  can  devise.  It  may  consist  of 
the  imitation  of  a  sign,  a  trade-name,  a  label,  a 
wrapper,  a  package,  or  almost  any  other  imitation 
by  a  business  rival  of  some  distinguishing  earmark 
of  an  established  business,  which  the  court  can  see 
is  calculated  to  mislead  the  public  and  lead  patrons 
into  the  belief  that  they  are  patronizing  the  first 
proprietor. 

Therefore,  in  determining  whether  or  not  one 
theater  name  infringes  another,  the  important  con- 
sideration for  the  Court  is  whether  or  not  the 
general  public  may  be  confused  or  deceived  by  the 
similarity  of  the  last  adopted  name  as  used  on  the 
theater  or  in  the  advertisements. 

The  first  question  is  whether  there  is  an  imita- 
tion and  this  must  be  determined  by  inspection 
of  the  rival  symbols  or  names.  It  is  not  to  be 
expected,  of  course,  that  there  will  ever  be  an 
exact  copy.  The  imitator  will  always  seek  to  in- 
troduce enough  differences  to  justify  a  claim  that 
there  has  been  no  imitation. 

A   recent  court  decision   said : 

"Unfair  competition  is  distinguishable  from  the 
infringement  of  a  trade-mark,  in  that  it  does  not 
necessarily  involve  the  question  of  the  exclusive 
right  of  another  to  the  use  of  the  name,  symbols, 
or  device  copied  or  imitated.  A  word  may  be 
purely  generic  or  descriptive,  and  so  not  capable 
of  becoming  an  arbitrary  trade-mark,  and  yet  there 
may  be  an  unfair  use  of  it  which  will  constitute 
unfair  competition." 

In  the  case  presently  being  discussed  the  counsel 
for  the  Cleveland  Civic  Opera  Ass'n  contended 
that  its  name  was  not  so  similar  to  the  name 
Cleveland  .Opera  Co.  to  deceive  the  public. 

However,  it  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  higher 
court,  in  granting  an  injunction  preventing  the 
use  of  the  Cleveland  Civic  Opera  Ass'n  name, 
said : 

"The  great  weight  of  authority  is  that  there 
can  be  no  monopoly  in  words  of  this  character. 
.  .  .  Now  is  there  a  substantial  similarity  in  the 
names?  .  .  .  We  must  keep  in  mind,  however, 
that  while  there  is  no  monopoly  in  the  use  of  the 
geographical  and  descriptive  words,  such  as  the 
word  'Cleveland'  and  the  word  'Opera,'  yet  these 
words  are  banned  under  the  authorities,  if  when 
used  in  connection  with  the  other  words  con- 
stituting the  name  they  result  in  apparent  or  ob- 
vious confusion,  or  by  inference  tend  in  that 
direction  to  such  extent  that  there  is  a  probability 
that  by  reason  of  confusion  unfair  competition 
may  be  the  result — in  other  words,  unfair  competi- 
tion arises  as  the  child  of  confusion.  .  .  .  The 
use  of  the  word  'Association'  is  indistinctive,  and 
does  not  differ  from  the  meaning  and  character  of 
the  word  'Company'  .  .  .  because  an  'association' 
is  essentially  a  'company'  and  thus  there  is  noth- 
ing in  its  appearance  or  character  that  would  fix 
it  in  a  differentiating  manner  in  the  mind  of  one 
reading  it   A  comparison  of  the  two  names  in- 
dicates such  a  great  similarity  that  the  only  prob- 
able result  would  be  confusion,  and,  if  confusion, 
then,  naturally  and  probably,  unfair  competition  " 

It  is  important  to  observe  that  the  Cleveland 
Civic  Opera  Ass'n  was  prevented  from  adopting 
the  name  before  it  had  actually  begun  the  conduc- 
tion of  its  business. 

Kegarding    the    adoption    of    firm    names,  this 
court  quoted : 

"Where  the  name  assumed  is  not  identical,  but 
similar,  equitable  relief  is  granted  on  a  sufficient 
showing  that  injury  would  follow ;  and  to  justify 
relief  in  this  class  of  cases  it  has  been  held  that 
the  injury  must  appear  to  be  of  a  substantial  char- 
acter and  not  merely  fanciful  or  conjectural  .... 
In  case  of  mere  similarity  of  name,  on  the  other 
hand,  the  proof  must  show  the  probability  of  sub- 
stantial damage.

NEW  TAXATION  MEASURES 

CONNECTICUT  TAX  BASED  ON  CAPAC- 
ITY—Seating  capacity  of  Connecticut  theaters  is 
the  basis  of  a  tax  bill  signed  by  Gov.  Trumbull  on 
July  1,  1927.  Weekly  fees  range  from  $5  to  $10. 
Ihe  method  supplants  a  flat  tax  of  $10  a  reel  on 
films  brought  into  the  state  for  showing. 

Rates  are  as  follows:  For  houses  seating  1,500 


or  more,  $40;  from  1,000  to  1,500,  $25;  from  750 
to  1,000,  $20;  500  to  750,  $15;  less  than  500, 
with  performances  three  nights  or  more  a  week, 
$10;  all  others,  $5.  Theaters  will  make  monthly 
returns. 

NEW  TAX  IN  MARYLAND— Under  a  new 
schedule  of  fees  which  became  effective  in  Mont- 
gomery County,  Maryland,  in  Sept.,  1927,  picture 
theaters  are  assessed  $100  annually,  while  street 
fairs  and  carnivals  must  pay  $100  a  week. 

SOUTH  CAROLINA  TAX  UPHELD— The 
Supreme  Court,  Washington,  D.  C,  on  March  14, 
1927,  affirmed  a  decision  of  a  lower  court  uphold- 
ing the  validity  of  the  South  Carolina  theater  tax 
of  one  cent  for  each  ten  cents  or  fraction  thereof 
collected  upon  all  admissions  to  places  of  amuse- 
ment in  incorporated  towns  having  a  population  of 
2,000  or  more.  The  theaters  paid  the  tax  under 
protest  and  brought  suit  for  recovery,  alleging  the 
law  has  violated  certain  sections  of  the  state 
constitution  and  the  provisions  of  the  14th  Amend- 
ment to  the  Constitution  in  that  it  denied  them 
equal  protection  of  the  laws  by  unjustly,  capricious- 
ly, and  arbitrarily  discriminating  against  them 
in  the  classification  made.

DECISIONS  REGARDING  LOTTER- 
IES, PRIZES,  ADVERTISING 
MATTER,  ETC. 

DISTRIBUTING  PRIZES  ILLEGAL 
Illinois — It  is  illegal  for  owners  of  motion 
picture  theaters  to  distribute  prizes  among  patrons, 
according  to  an  opinion  handed  down  in  Chicago 
in  Sept.,  1927,  by  Francis  J.  Vurpillat,  assistant 
corporation  counsel. 

LOTTERIES  HALTED  IN  NEW  ORLEANS 
Louisiana — Although  the  district  attorney  is- 
sued no  statement  regarding  protest  of  local  ex- 
hibitors over  the  recent  rigid  enforcement  of  the 
Louisiana  lottery  laws,  the  action  of  R.  J.  Brunet, 
owner  and  operator  of  the  Harlequin,  a  New 
Orleans  suburban  theater,  in  October,  1927,  had 
its  effect  on  the  measure. 

Brunet  was  the  first  victim  of  the  decision  to 
rigidly  enforce  Act  280  of  1914,  relative  to  operat- 
ing lotteries.  Brunet  was  charged  with  issuing 
stubs  to  patrons  and  then  awarding  prizes  to  hold- 
ers of  winning  coupons. 

A  number  of  local  independent  suburban  exhib- 
itors backed  Brunet  in  his  appeal  to  the  mayor. 
They  stated  that  the  custom  of  giving  prizes, 
especially  at  the  Saturday  and  Sunday  night 
shows,  was  long  established  in  New  Orleans,  and 
that  its  discontinuance  would  reduce  their  busi- 
ness materially.  Mayor  O'Keefe's  answer  was 
that  he  could  not  go  beyond  the  ruling  of  the 
district  attorney.  But  since  the  protest  no  further 
efforts  have  been  made  by  either  the  district  at- 
torney's office  or  the  police  to  enforce  the  law  as 
it  relates  to  the  issuing  of  coupons  for  prizes  in 
theaters. 

COUNTRY  STORES  RULED  OUT 
Colorado — Country  store  nights  at  theaters  were 
ruled  as  violations  of  Denver  city  ordinance  against 
lotteries,  and  were  orcfered  discontinued  after  Nov. 
IS,  1927. 

DOG  RACES  ILLEGAL 
Minnesota— State's   Attorney    General    ruled  in 
Oct.,  1927,  that  dog  races  on  stages  of  theaters, 
or  any  other  public  place,  were  illegal  if  spectators 
shared  in  the  winnings  of  the  dogs. 

DRAWINGS,  LUCKY  NUMBERS  BANNED 
Massachusetts — Following  up  the  ban  made 
by  Boston  police  in  April,  1927,  attorney  gen- 
eral's office  ordered  lotteries  of  all  kinds 
stopped  in  film  theaters,  carnivals,  church  affairs 
and  other  places.  Police  officials  warned  exhibi- 
tors that  the  attorney  gejieral  would  act  against  all 
forms  of  drawings,  lucky  numbers,  lucky  seat 
holders,  etc.  Chiefs  have  been  ordered  to  con- 
fiscate the  prizes  offered  and  to  report  any  lack 
of  cooperation  by  the  lower  courts  in  prosecuting 
cases,  to  the  state  house. 

Scores  of  theaters  were  running  contests  for  auto- 
mobiles and  equally  valuable  prizes.     They  were

ordered  to  cancel  them  at  once  or  have  the 
prizes  confiscated  and  the  managers  prosecuted. 

COUNTRY  STORE  HELD  ILLEGAL 
Michigan — Resurrecting  an  ordinance  passed 
in  1904,  Detroit  police  authorities  declared  illegal, 
all  country  store  nights  at  motion  picture  theaters 
and  a  rigid  ban  was  placed  on  such  events,  effec- 
tive May,  1927,  providing  a  fine  not  to  exceed 
$500. 

Detroit  neighborhood  houses,  in  October,  1927, 
were  forced  to  discontinue  the  distribution  of 
handbills  and  cards  and  all  free  newspapers  and 
advertising  material. 

SILVER  NIGHTS  BANNED 
Ohio— Theaters  in  Ohio,  in  June,  1927,  were 
ordered  to  discontinue  "silver  nights"  performances 
at  which  a  piece  of  silver  is  given  away  to  every 
woman  patron.  The  decision  came  after  an  in- 
vestigation. The  ruling  states  that  the  practice  is 
discriminating  and  therefore  contrary  to  law. 

In  order  to  be  legal,  souvenirs  must  be  given 
to  all  patrons  alike.  All  advertising  material  in 
connection  with  the  stunt  also  is  banned,  but  ex- 
hibitors have  found  a  way  to  circumvent  the  de- 
cree affecting  actual  offerings  of  prize?.  Woman 
patrons  receive  the  silver  upon  leaving  the  house, 
which   is  not  unlawful. 

THEATER  CONSTRUCTION,  BUILD- 
ING CODE  CHANGES,  ETC. 

NEW  LAW  TIGHTENS  BUILDING 
Illinois — A  law  passed  by  the  State  Legis- 
lature in  April,  1927,  requiring  all  bond  houses  to 
have  the  full  cash  amount  of  a  loan  on  hand  be- 
fore signing  for  the  loan.  Also  land  must  be  ap- 
praised by  authorized  real  estate  appraisers  in 
conjunction  with  state  appraisers  before  a  loan 
is  made.  This  eliminates  any  future  padding  of 
real  estate  values  and  makes  it  more  difficult  for 
theaters  to  be  financed.  Heretofore  100  per  cent, 
loans  have  been  worked  by  theater  builders,  simply 
through  padding  value  estimates  and  receiving  a 
loan  large  enough  to  completely  build  a  theater. 

CHANGE  MASS.  REGULATIONS 
Massachusetts  —  New  rules  and  regula- 
tions governing  motion  picture  theaters,  both  in 
construction  and  operation  were  published  in  Au- 
gust, 1927,  by  Attorney  General  Charles 
P.  Sisson  of  Massachusetts,  and  copies  sent  to  all 
theater  managers,  owners,  exchanges  and  others 
interested  in  the  industry.  The  regulations  apply 
only  in  the  towns  and  not  in  the  cities,  the  cities 
being  governed  by  their  own  building  codes. 
Under  the  new  rules  all  entrances  and  exits  must 
be  unobstructed.  Two  or  more  exits  must  be 
provided  for  each  auditorium,  two  for  each  gal- 
lery and  two  for  each  stage.  No  hall  or  audi- 
torium above  the  second  floor  in  any  building  may 
be  used  for  showing  motion  pictures.  Fireproof 
walls  must  be  provided  for  second  story  theaters, 
and  placing  of  false  door?  or  mirrors  is  prohibited. 
Fire  escapes  from  upper  balconies  must  connect 
with  the  floor  and  ground,  must  be  entirely  en- 
closed or  provided  with  tight  roof  and  must  have 
lights  and  hand  rails.  Film  booths  must  be  so 
arranged  as  not  to  hinder  or  block  aisles  or  exits. 
Flooring  must  be  of  asbestos  cement  and  doors 
must  swing  outward.  Booths  must  be  provided 
with  inlets  on  each  side  and  in  the  door.  Fines 
not  exceeding  $100,  imprisonment  not  exceeding 
three  months,  or  both,  are  the  penalties  provided 
for  violations  of  the  new  rules. 

OPERATORS  SPONSOR  ORDINANCE 
Missouri  —  Kansas  City  exhibitors,  in  August 
1927,  were  faced  with  a  law  affecting  operation  of 


projection  rooms,  which,  according  to  the  measure, 
can  hereafter  only  be  manned  by  licensed  operators 
and  requires  for  an  additional  strict  examination 
and  prescribes  for  a  maximum  speed  of  95  revolu- 
tions of  the  crank  shaft  or  95  feet  of  film  per 
minute.  This  clause,  the  exhibitors  claimed,  slows 
up  the  running  time,  thus  necessitating  more  over- 
time work  for  operators.  A  number  of  non-union 
operators  were  rejected  by  the  examining  board, 
thus  supporting  contention  that  the  ordinance  was 
sponsored  by  the  union.  It  also  was  claimed  that 
the  ordinance  eventually  will  require  hiring  of 
two  instead  of  one  operator  in  smaller  theaters. 

S.  R.  O.  SUIT  IN  ST.  LOUIS 
Missouri — In  September,  1927.  rights  of  Mis- 
souri exhibitors  to  sell  standing  room  was  again 
under  fire,  with  filing  of  a  second  suit  invoking  the 
old  statute.  William  Bates  was  plaintiff  in  the 
new  action  suing  Skouras  Bros.,  alleging  the 
Missouri  theater  sold  him  a  ticket  and  that  no 
seats  were  available.  The  statute  provides  fine 
of  from  $20  to  $5,000  for  such  an  offense,  and  per- 
mits the  plaintiff  50  per  cent  of  the  fine  assessed. 
A  similar  suit  was  filed  against  the  Palm  by  a 
woman  who  alleged  she  received  injuries  when 
crushed  in  a  crowd  of  patrons  jamming  the  aisles 
of  the  theaters.  The  old  statute  prohibiting  sale  of 
S.R.O.  admissions  has  not  been  enforced  for  a 
number  of  years. 

HIGHER  SIGNS  ALLOWED 
New  York — Beginning  in  January,  1927,  the- 
ater marquee  signs  were  permitted  to  be  nine  feet 
in  height  in  New  York  City,  an  ordinance  gov- 
erning the  matter  having  been  amended  through 
the  efforts  of  the  Theater  Owners'  Chamber  of 
Commerce.  Owing  to  ambiguous  wording  differ- 
ent interpretations  had  been  given  the  regulation 
in  the  various  boroughs.  The  maximum  height 
reached  by  signs  under  the  original  ordinance  was 
six  feet. 

CARRIAGES  NOT  ALLOWED  IN  LOBBIES 
New  York  —  Troy,  N.  Y.  Fire  Dept.,  in 
March,  1927,  ruled  that  the  parking  of  baby  car- 
riages as  well  as  babies  in  the  lobbies  of  the  pic- 
ture theaters  in  Troy,  will  not  je  permitted. 

BUILDING  CODE  CHANGED 
Oregon  —  Portland     building     department,  in 
July,  1927,  ordered  widening  of  theater  aisles  and 
changes   in   the   location   of    lamproom,    seats  and 
fire  escapes,  to  conform  with  new  ordinance. 

"PANIC  AND  FIRE"  BILL  PASSED 
Pennsylvania  —  Governor  John  Fisher,  on 
April  27,  1927,  signed  the  bill  passed  by  the 
legislature  which  gives  the  State  Department  of 
Labor  and  Industry  greater  powers  in  promulgat- 
ing and  enforcing  rules  and  regulations  for  safe- 
ty in  the  construction  of  picture  theaters  and 
other  buildings  where  large  public  gathering  are 
held.  The  measure,  known  as  the  "fire  and  panic" 
law,  re-codifies  all  previous  Pennsylvania  laws  on 
the  subject,  which  are  automatically  repealed.  It 
gives  the  Labor  Department  power  to  close  thea- 
ters which  do  not  comply  with  its  regulations,  and 
provides  other  penalties  for  owners  of  theaters 
who  are  guilty  of  violations. 

PENN.  CHANGES  EXIT  REGULATIONS 
Pennsylvania  —  Penn.  Bureau  of  Industrial 
Standards,  Dept.  of  Labor  &  Industry,  in  July, 
1927,  announced  new  regulations,  governing  the 
number  of  exits  required  in  motion  picture  the- 
aters and  other  theaters  of  the  state,  based  on  the 
various  seating  capacities.  The  minimum  number 
and  location  of  exits  for  main  floors  and  balconies 
are  prescribed  as  follows:  For  fire-resistive  and 
non    fire-resistive    buildings    with   seating  capacity 


791 


up  to  250,  there  shall  be  four  exits,  two  at  the 
front,  and  two  at  the  rear  near  screen  or  stage; 
from  251  lo  500  seats,  five  exits,  two  at  front 
and  three  at  rear.  In  fire-resistive  buildings  one 
additional  exit  must  be  provided  for  each  250 
seats  or  fraction  thereof,  in  excess  of  500  seats, 
and  in  non-fire-resistive  buildings  there  shall  be 
one  additional  exit  for  each  200  persons  or  frac- 
tion thereof,  in  excess  of  500  seats.  The  location 
of  additional  exits  for  theaters  with  over  500 
seats  must  be  approved  by  the  Secretary  of  La- 
bor and  Industry.  For  balcony  caDacities  between 
100  and  250  persons  at  least  one  exit  shall  lead 
directly  to  the  street  and  for  capacities  of  250 
persons  or  more  at  least  two  exits  shall  lead  di- 
rectly to  the  street.  All  exits  shall  be  not  less 
than  five  feet  in  width  in  the  clear,  leading  full 
width  to  unobstructive  outlets  to  the  street. 

RULES  FOR  iSMALL  TOWNS 
Rhode  Island — Safety  laws  governing  con- 
struction and  operation  of  picture  theaters  and 
halls  in  the  towns  of  Rhode  Island  promulgated  by 
Attorney  General  Charles  P.  Sisson  as  directed  by 
chapter  1042  of  the  Public  Laws,  passed  at  the 
last  session  of  the  R.  I.  legislature,  were  approved 
by  Governor  Pothier  in  August,  1927. 

Copies  have  been  sent  every  Town  clerk  in  the 
state.  These  rules  and  regulations  do  not  apply 
to  the  cities. 

The  rules  provide  for  fire  escapes  from  the 
upper  balcony  which  must  connect  with  the  floor 
and  the  ground.  Height  and  width  of  stairways 
are  specified,  as  well  as  construction  of  rails. 
Doors,  foyers,  corridors  or  stairways  must  be 
obstructed.  Two  exits  are  required  for  each  audi- 
torium  floor   and   gallery.     None  of   the  required 


exits  must  be  less  than  five  feet  in  width,  except 
in  galleries  with  seating  capacity  of  not  over  150. 
The  stage  must  have  two  approved  exits. 

False  doors  or  mirrors  are  prohibited.  Other 
rules  cover  the  arrangement  and  number  of  seats. 
Width  of  aisles  is  designated. 

Further  provisions  are  made  for  film  booths, 
their  contents  and  construction.  They  must  be 
so  located  as  not  to  obstruct  or  render  dangerous 
any  aisle  or  egress.  The  sides,  top  and  door 
must  be  asbestos  lumber,  not  less  than  one-quarter 
inch  in  thickness.  The  flooring  must  also  be 
filled  with  asbestos  cement,  and  the  doors  must

of  a  booth  by  the  Superintendent  of  State  Police 
is  to  be  posted  inside. 

Where  more  than  one  machine  is  used,  provi- 
sion must  be  made  for  space  between  them  and 
for  fire-preventing  apparatus.  Machines  must  have 
film  guards  to  prevent  the  spread  of  loose  film. 
Electric  motors  may  be  used  only  on  such  ma- 
chines as  are  especially  fitted  and  approved  for 
such  use.  No  alteration  may  be  made  in  me- 
chanism of  any  moving  picture  machine  after  its 
approval  by  the  State  Police.  Additional  emer- 
gency control  must  be  provided  if  auditorium 
lights  are   controlled   from  within  the  booth. 

The  licenses  of  negligent  operators  may  be  sus- 
pended or  revoked.  No  persons  except  the  owner, 
manager,  or  operator  is  to  be  allowed  within  the 
booth.  No  moving  picture  exhibition  is  hereafter 
to  be  permitted  above  the  second  story  of  any 
building. 


New  Miscellaneous  Laws  and  Decisions 


DE   FORESTS'   IMPORTANT  U.   S.  COURT 
DECISION 

Royalties  involving  millions  may  be  dependent 
upon  the  decision  rendered  in  the  U.  S.  Circuit 
Court  of  Appeals  in  Philadelphia,  early  in  October, 
1927,  in  favor  of  Dr.  Lee  de  Forest. 

The  decision  declared  De  Forest  to  be  the  orig- 
inal inventor  of  the  feed-back  regenerative  circuit 
and   oscillating  audion   or  vacuum  tube. 

S.  E.  Darby,  Jr.,  patent  attorney  for  the  De 
Forest  Company,  stated  it  was  certain  that  the 
"so  called  Armstrong  licensees"  who  have  been 
paying  royalties  on  the  Armstrong  patent  will 
realize  that  they  have  been  paying  tribute  to  the 
wrong  parties  and  will  be  liable  to  the  De  Forest 
Company,  owners  of  the  De  Forest  patents,  for  all 
infringing  operations  since  Sept.  2,  1924,  the  date 
of  issuance  of  the  De  Forest  patent. 

The  decision  may  have  an  important  bearing 
on  De  Forest  claims  pending  against  various  manu- 
facturers of  talking  films.  The  basic  principles 
of  law  applying  in  this  case  seem  to  be  applicable 
to  others. 

Heretofore  Edwin  H.  Armstrong  has  been  cred- 
ited as  the  inventor  of  the  regenerative  circuit. 
The  patents  were  controlled  by  the  Westinghouse 
Electric    Co.      Armstrong    has    maintained  silence 


on  the  subject  during  the  litigation  which  has 
been  in  process  for  five  years. 

VARIETY  ACTS  NOT  A  VIOLATION 

Presentation  of  variety  acts  at  picture  theaters 
is  no  violation  of  New  York  law,  the  Fifth  Ave. 
Court,  Brooklyn,  ruled  in  March.  1927,  in  dis- 
missing complaint  against  Rudolph  Sanders,  man- 
ager of  the  Globe,  who  was  charged  with  giving 
a  vaudeville  performance  without  a  license.  In  the 
ruling,  a  fine  distinction  was  made  between  variety 
acts,  wherein  no  "special  costumes"  are  worn  and 
vaudeville  numbers. 

SCHOOL  COMPETITION  ILLEGAL 

Competition  of  a  school  showing  pictures  is 
unfair  and  illegal,  the  Bemidji,  Minn.,  district 
court  ruled  in  March,  1927,  in  granting  a  perman- 
ent injunction  against  the  Park  Rapids  school  board 
prohibiting  renting  of  the  school  for  theater  pur- 
poses. The  action  establishes  a  precedent  in  the 
state.  The  school  board,  the  court  ruled,  has 
no  power  to  rent  the  building  even  though  it  is 
not  being  used  by  school,  pointing  out  that  it  is 
unfair  for  a  tax  exempt  building  to  be  used  in 
competition  with  a  theater. 

There  are  a  number  of  schools  showing  pictures 
throughout  the  state.

The  Non-Theatrical  Field 


UNITS  for  the  distribution  of  non-theatrical  product  are  being  developed  by  many  of 
the  important  producer-distributors.  During  1927,  the  development  of  amateur  photog- 
raphy, aided  by  new  projector  and  camera  devices,  revealed  the  unlimited  possibilities 
offered  in  this  field.  In  the  following  compilation  appears  the  names  and  addresses  of 
non-theatrical  producers  and  distributors.  There  are  many  organizations  listed  which 
have  no  connection  with  the  motion  picture  industry.  These  firms  engage  in  the  pro- 
duction of  non-theatrical  films  for  non-theatrical  and  advertising  purposes.  They  are 
purely  commercial  companies  which  distribute  through  a  film  extension  bureau.

Complete  Coverage 


Is  the  goal  of  every  publisher — If  there  is 
a  heaven  for  publishers  they'll  have  com- 
plete coverage  there. 


We  Believe 


that  Greater  Amusements  comes  closer  to 
that  fond  goal  of  all  publishers  than  any 
other  trade  paper  in  the  field.  Mighty 
nearly  every  exhibitor  in  Minnesota,  North 
and  South  Dakota,  Iowa,  Nebraska,  Wis- 
consin and  the  upper  peninsula  of  Mich- 
igan reads  Greater  Amusements  every  week. 
Reads  it  eagerly,  avidly  because  for  four- 
teen years  they  have  been  depending  on  it 
for  their  information  of  the  trade,  for  the 
live  news  interestingly  and  sincerely  pre- 
sented.

FINANCIAL 


THE  MOTION  PICTURE  IN- 
DUSTRY, from  a  strict  busi- 
ness viewpoint,  has  long  im- 
pressed leaders  of  the  financial 
world,  who  now  consider  it  in  the 
same  class  with  many  of  the  coun- 
try's mightiest  enterprises.  Its  quick 
development  and  growth  to  the  posi- 
tion of  fourth  largest  among  the  in- 
dustries of  the  United  States,  take 
rank  among  the  great  achievements 
of  progress. 

A  cross-section  of  the  financial 
status  of  the  major  developments  in 
the  industry  is  the  basis  of  this  sec- 
tion. It  will  afford  a  liberal  education 
to  those  interested  in  the  inner  work- 
ings of  the  trade,  furnishing  a  graphic 
and  highly  interesting  story  of  the 
tremendous  growth  of  the  business — 
an  institution  now  close  to  $2,000,- 
000,000  in  assets. 

Several  articles  authentically  de- 
scribe the  financial  history  of  large 
corporations,  past  and  current  earn- 
ing power  of  which  is  revealed  in 
additional  statistical  tables.  In  many 
instances,  comparative  charts  trace 
developments  over  a  period  of  years 
and  thus  provide  an  interesting  cross- 
sectional  study  in  financial  struc- 
tures.

A  First  Line  Industry 


BANKERS  now  rank  the  motion  picture  busi- 
ness with  the  major  industries  of  the  United 
States.  Their  recognition  has  resulted  dur- 
ing the  past  year  in  the  placing  of  the  film  indus- 
try on  a  more  efficiently-organized  basis,  with  a 
more  definitely  apparent  leaning  toward  the  further 
elimination  of  the  chaos  and  disorder  which  have 
handicapped  the  business  in  its  march  toward  the 
goal  of  financial  stability.  These  are  the  state- 
ments, as  well  as  others  to  follow,  which  are  made 
by  financial  papers  and  authoritative  observers. 

Progress  toward  a  greater  stability  was  neces- 
sary in  order  to  earn  the  confidence  of  powerful 
banking  groups  with 
which  practically  'every 
major  organization  is 
now  identified.  The  man- 
ner in  which  Wall  Street 
now  looks  upon  the  mo- 
tion picture  industry  can 
be  described  in  no  better 
fashion  than  to  point  out 
the  millions  of  dollars  in 
securities  which  financial 
institutions  of  national 
reputation  have  under- 
taken to  handle. 

Early  in  1927,  jn 
a  copyright  article  in 
the  "New  York  Ameri- 
ican,"  there  appeared  the 
following  statement: 

"Order,  stability,  effi- 
ciency are  taking  the 
place  of  chaos,  instabil- 
ity, extravagance  worse 
than  characterized  almost 
any  other  young  indus- 
try." This  is  a  com- 
ment from  B.  C.  Forbes, 
recognized  as  one  of 
the  nation's  outstanding 
financial  authorities.  Con- 
tinuing, he  said: 

"Tqday  the  doors  of 
the  New  York  Stock  Ex- 
change swing  wide  open 
for  the  reception  of  shares 
of  reputable  motion  pic- 
ture companies.  And  as 
the  smaller  concerns,  the 
so  -  called  independents, 
draw  together  into  rela- 
tively few  organizations 
of  magnitude  doubtless 
more  stocks  will  appear 
on    the    exchange."  In 

connection  with  the  consolidation  movement  Forbes 
observes  that  it  "should  mean  businesslike  man- 
agement all  round,"  with  a  general  reduction  of 
wasteful  extravagance. 

Unquestionably  the  movement  towards  consoli- 
dations has  exercised  a  tremendous  influence  upon 
Wall  Street's  interest  in  the  picture  business.  To 
this  circle,  mergers  mean  greater  efficiency  in  the 
conduct  of  the  industry,  greater  economy — and 
therefore  greater  dividends. 

The  industry  at  large  realizes  that  economies 
must  be  effected  and,  moving  in  that  direction,  is 
taking  the  necessary  steps  to  bring  about  a 
greater  efficiency  in  operation  without  restrictions 
in  quality. 

Emphasis  on  the  fast-increasing  importance  of 
the  industry  in  financial  matters  was  indicated  last 
May  when  the  "Wall  Street  Journal,"  in  launching 
a  series  of  articles  on  its  development,  said : 

"The  Journal  expects  more  investors  to  turn 
their  interest  and  their  funds  to  the  industry.  The 
motion  picture  industry  has  definitely  passed  out 
of  the  preliminary  stages  of  its  development  and 


Big  Business 

FROM  the  standpoint  of  crit- 
ical  Wall  Street,  the  mo- 
tion picture  business  has  set 
its  house  in  order  and  now 
rates  the  same  status  accorded 
the  other  major  industries  of 
the  United  States.  The  greater 
efforts  towards  economy,  con- 
solidation and  expansion  made 
during  the  past  year,  plus  fur- 
ther moves  to  come,  have  won 
the  confidence  of  powerful 
banking  groups,  and  are  re- 
flected, of  course,  by  the  ac- 
tive participation  of  such  in- 
stitutions in  the  flotation  of 
motion  picture  securities.  This 
is  the  consensus  of  opinion  of 
recognized  financial  authori- 
ties and  newspapers. 


has  entered  a  new  era  of  great  consolidations." 
The  initial  article  made  a  prophecy  which  has  in 
a  large  measure  come  true.     It  said: 

"This  year  will  probably  be  a  year  of  continued 
expansion  and  consolidation,  which  is  apt  to 
mean  considerable  unsettlement  in  the  industry,  al- 
though earnings  of  the  major  systems  should  be 
increased  as  income  from  the  newly  completed 
theaters  is  received." 

During   the    past    year   the    business    reached  a 
new  investment  peak  of  nearly  two  billion  dollars. 
Altogether    approximately    $200,000,000    in  motion 
picture  securities  have  been  handled  through  New 
York  and   Chicago  bank- 

  ers,  according  to  Halsey, 

Stuart  and  Co.,  prominent 
Wall   Street  firm. 

The  same  brokerage 
house,  in  one  of  a  series 
of  articles  published  in 
a  booklet  entitled  "The 
M.  P.  Industry  as  Basis 
for  Bond  Financing," 
said: 

"The  line  representing 
motion  picture  theaters, 
for  instance,  would  show 
approximately  20,000  of 
these  buildings  in  the 
country  at  the  present 
time,  while  in  1900  there 
were  practically  none  de- 
voted to  pictures  exclu- 
sively. 

"Employment  figur  e  s 
for  this  young  industry 
would  show  that  in  1926 
more  than  350,000  per- 
sons found  work  in  its 
various  branches,  where 
as  in  1900  only  a  few 
venturesome  spirits  had 
dared  to  think  of  motion 
pictures  as  a  sole  source 
of  income. 

"Our  chart  would  show 
as  well  as  possible,  that 
the  manufacture  of  mo- 
tion picture  films,  which 
was  close  to  the  zero 
point  in  1900,  now  ex- 
ceeds 1,250,000,000  feet 
per  year;  consumes  inci- 
dentally, more  silver  in 
their  manufacture  than  is 
used  by  the  United  States 
Mint;  and  dominates  the 
film  markets  of  the  world. 

"The  invested  capital  in  the  motion  picture  in- 
dustry was  also  insignificant  in  the  early  years, 
but  by  1926  the  investment  totaled  $1,500,000,000." 

The  "Wall  Street  Journal"  had  the  following  to 
say  regarding  theater  construction: 

"The  significant  feature  of  this  theater  building 
boom  is  that  it  is  confined  almost  entirely  to  large 
theaters  seating  from  1,000  to  5,000  persons  each, 
which  are  replacing  the  old  style  neighborhood 
cinema.  The  great  house  is  able  to  put  on  a 
more  elaborate  show,  drawing  customers  from  a 
wider  radius  with  its  superior  attractions.  Even 
in  rural  communities  the  coming  of  good  roads  has 
made  it  possible  for  the  farmer  to  drive  into  the 
small  town  for  the  movies.  It  is  estimated  that 
there  are  now  over  500  theaters  which  cost  over 
$1,000,000  each  in  this  country,  a  large  part  of 
which  have  been  built  in  the  last  few  years.  Con- 
struction of  mammoth  houses  is  proceeding  on  a 
larger  scale  than  ever  before.  It  is  estimated  that 
$250,000,000  was  spent  on  theater  construction  in 
1925  and  close  to  $100,000,000  in  theater  building 
has  been  contracted  for  in  1927."

Financial  Statements 


American  Seating  Co. 


GROSS    sales    of    $3,652,894    were    made  by 
American  Seating  Co.  and  subsidiaries  during 
six  months  ended  June  30,  1927.     Profit  was 
$236,870,   after  depreciation   and  charges,   but  be- 
fore,   allowing    for    Federal    taxes.  Outstanding 
stock  amounts  to  230,000  shares. 

Consolidated  income  account  of  the  parent  com 
pany  and  subsidiaries  for  six  months  ended  June 
30,  follows: 

Sales   $3,652,894 

Cost  and  expenses    3,152,844 

Operating   profit    $500,050 

Other    income    73,846 

Total    income    $573,896 

Interest  and  other  charges    243,171 

Depreciation    93,855 

Net  income  before  Federal  taxes   $236,870 


Thomas  F.  Boyd,  president  of  the  company, 
stated  in  August : 

"Results  were  comparable  for  the  first  six 
months  of  1926  except  for  unusual  and  non- 
recurring expense.  Orders  taken  were  in  excess 
of  the  same  period  last  year,  but  executed  sales 
show  a  slight  decrease,  approximately  3.4  per 
cent,  partly  due  to  delayed  deliveries  incident  to 
plant  consolidation.  Despite  this,  gross  profit 
for  the  period  is  practically  the  same,  $1,201,828 
against  $1,201,391  for  the  first  half  of  1926. 

"Administrative  and  sales  expenses  were  com- 
parable to  previous  period,  leaving  our  profit  from 
direct  operations  $573,896,  an  amount  slightly  in 
excess  of  the  first  half  of  last  year.  Deductions 
from  this  are  extraordinary  expense  in  connection 
with  reorganization  and  consolidation  of  plants, 
amounting  to  $123,171,  a  non-recurring  expense, 
and  also  interest  on  gold  notes  amounting  to 
$120,000.  both  items  non-existent  in  operations  for 
the  first  six  months  of  1926." 


Balaban  and  Katz  Corp. 


BALABAN  &  KATZ  had  its  most  prosperous 
year  in  1926,  with  an  increase  of  more  than 
23  per  cent  in  earnings  over  the  previous 
year  or  a  gain  of  $354,011.  Net  profits  in  1920 
aggregated  $1,857,701,  after  depreciation  and  Fed- 
eral taxes,  a  substantial  increase  over  1925,  when 
the  net  reached  $1,503,690.  or  about  $5.69  a  share. 
The  1926  income  was  equal  to  $6.28  per  share, 
after  preferred  dividends,  on  264,206  shares  of 
common  outstanding  as  against  $4.93  a  share  in 
1925.  Total  1926  profit  was  $2,949,339,  against 
$2,287,122  in  1925. 

Operating  resources  were  enhanced  considerably 
by  the  affiliation  with  Publix  through  the  purchase 
by  Paramount  of  a  substantial  interest  in  the  B.  & 
K.  Corp : 

The  company  started  1927  with  a  bang,  break- 


ing all  records  for  earnings  in  the  first  quarter. 
Alter  deducting  Federal  taxes  the  net  for  the 
period  was  $556,399  as  compared  with  $317,851 
tor  the  same  period  last  year.  The  increase  is 
ahout  75  percent. 

After  payment  of  preferred  dividends  there  was 
a  balance  of  $506,501  applicable  to  the  264,206 
shares  of  no  par  .common  stock,  equal  to  $1.91  a 
share,  or  well  over  half  the  annual  dividend  re- 
quirements. There  was  also  a  balance  of  $267,954 
available  for  the  common  stock,  equal  to  $1.01  a 
share. 

Detailed  report  for  1926,  the  last  complete 
fiscal  year,  follows.  This  embraces  the  consoli- 
dated general  balance  statement  dated  Jan.  2, 
1927.  The  consolidated  profit  and  loss  account

Eastman  Kodak  Co. 


NET  profits  available  for  dividends  of  $19,- 
860,634  in  1926  swelled  Eastman  Kodak  total 
earnings  since  June  30,  1902,  to  $304,544,033. 
Tn  the  same  period  the  company  paid  out  $9,024,- 
770  to  preferred  stockholders,  leaving  available 
for  the  common  $295,519,263,  equivalent  to  $144.06 
a  share  on  the  2,051,310  no  par  shares.  Pay- 
ments on  the  common  in  the  period  aggregated 
$202,759,723,  or  $98.84  a  common  share. 


Eastman's  annual  report  for  1926  showed  the 
highest  earnings  of  any  vear  in  the  history  of 
the  company.  Net  of  $19,860,634  was  $983,405 
in  excess  of  that  of  1923,  the  previous  banner 
year.  The  earnings  were  equal  to  $9.50  a  share 
on  the  2,051.310  shares  of  common,  after  pre- 
ferred dividends,  and  compared  with  $18,467,113, 
or  $8.84  a  share  on  2.046,190  shares  in  1925. 

The  growth  of  Eastman  Kodak  profits  has  been 
constant,    showing    increased   earnings   each  year, 


804 


with  few  exceptions.  In  1903  net  was  $2,864,718. 
From  that  time  on  to  1913,  there  was  a  steady 
gain  each  year,  net  in  the  latter  year  totaling 
$14,162,435.  In  1914,  there  was  a  decrease  of 
$2,849,424  from  the  preceding  year.  Although 
there  have  been  decreases  in  some  years,  from 
that  time  since  the  tendency  has  been  upward. 

The  common  is  paying  quarterly  dividends  of 
$1.25  and  an  extra  of  75  cents,  equal  to  $8  a 
share  annually.  This  is  equivalent  to  $80  a  share 
on  the  stock  outstanding  previous  to   1922,  when 


Eastman  split  stock  on  a  10  for  1  basis.  Previous 
to  the  change  in  capitalization,  the  regular  rate 
was  19  per  cent  with  extra  disbursements. 

In  July,  the  board  of  directors  declared  the 
16th  dividend  to  employees  when  15,279  wage 
earners  received  $2,947,410.  The  dividend  was 
the  largest  in  the  company's  history  and  involved 
11,599  employes  in  the  United  States  and  3,680 
in  foreign  countries.

Educational  Pictures,  Inc. 


NET    earnings    of    Educational    Pictures  from 
formation  of  the  company  Feb.  14,  1927,  until 
June  30,   1927,   were  $270,117,  available  for 
dividends.     The   company   in    February  succeeded 
Educational    Film    Exchanges   and   took   over  ex- 
changes of  its  distributors  as  well  as  studio  units. 

Report  of  the  full  year  ended  June  30,  1927, 
of  businesses  acquired  by  the  newly-formed  Educa- 
tional Pictures,  shows  net  earnings,  available  for 
dividends  of  $753,737  after  deducting  minority  in- 
terests. This  compares  with  $748,143  for  the  pre- 
vious fiscal  year. 

In  the  prospectus  prepared  on  behalf  of  the 
flotation  of  a  $2,000,000  issue  of  8%  cumulative 
preferred  stock  which  financed  the  acquisition  by 
Educational  Pictures,  Inc.,  of  the  Educational  ex- 
changes and  production  units,  E.  W.  Hammons 
presented   these  figures:

The  combined  net  earnings  of  the  businesses  then 
being  acquired  by  Educational  Pictures,  Inc.,  either 
through  acquisition  of  capital  stocks  or  purchase 
of  assets,  after  deducting  amounts  calculated  to 
reflect  minority  interest's  presently  to  be  outstand- 
ing and  after  deducting  Federal  taxes  at  current 
rates,  for  the  three  fiscal  years  ended  June  30, 
1926,  were  given  as  follows  by  Hammons:

1926    748,183 

To    which    the    following    explanatory  notation 

was  attached : 

"No  adjustment  in  earnings  has  been  made  to 
reflect  the  retention  of  cash,  receivables  and  se-

$350,000  additional  consolidated  working  capital 
being  made  available  to  Educational  Pictures, 
Inc.  through  this  financing."

First  National  Pictures,  Inc. 


EARNINGS  of  First  National  Pictures,  for  the 
nine  months  ending  Sept.  30,  1927,  showed  a 
substantial  gain  over  the  corresponding  peri- 
od in  1926.  Net  profits,  after  all  deductions  and 
reserves  for  taxes,  show  an  increase  of  more  than 
24  per  cent  compared  with  last  year.  Figures 
for  the  nine  months  showed  net  profit  of  $884,233, 
including  profits  from  foreign  companies,  as 
against  $707,847  last  year.  Earnings  for  the  first 
nine  months,  were  equal  to  $37.20  a  share  earned 
on  the  23,500  shares  of  eight  per  cent  first  pre- 
ferred outstanding,  or  over  six  times  dividend  re- 
quirements. 

Net  profits  for  1926  totaled  $1,032,655  equiva- 
lent to  $42.58  per  share  on  the  $2,425,000  partici- 
pating eight  per  cent  cumulative  stock  outstand- 
ing. 

This  contrasts  with  $1,951,485  earned  in  the 
previous  year  which  was  equivalent  to  $78.06  per 
share  on  the  $2,500,000  first  preferred  stock  out- 
standing at  the  end  of  that  period.  The  drop  was 
attributed  by  the  company  "largely  as  a  conse- 
quence of  higher  production  costs."  Total  assets 
listed  at  $16,294,608.13,  of  which  fixed  assets,  in- 
cluding land  buildings,  equipment,  cost  of  fran- 
chises  (less  amortization)   and  investments  in  ad- 


vance to  associated  companies  were  revealed  at 
$4,050,328.70.     Cash  totaled  $1,079,340.81. 

Public  participation  in  First  National  is  con- 
fined to  the  first  preferred,  which  is  an  eight  per 
cent  cumulative  participating  issue,  with  a  par 
of  $100.  There  are  24,250  of  these  shares  out- 
standing and  this  class  is  listed  on  the  N.  Y. 
Stock  Exchange. 

During  1926,  the  company,  through  its  subsidi- 
ary, First  National  Properties,  Inc.,  purchased  62 
acres  of  land  at  Burbank,  Cal.,  on  which  it  con- 
structed a  studio.  To  finance  this  project,  First 
National  Properties,  Inc.,  issued  $1,000,000  first 
mortage  6'/2  per  cent  serial  bonds  which  matured 
serially  May  1,  1927,  secured  by  a  closed  first 
mortgage.. 

Through  stock  acquisitions,  control  of  First  Na- 
tional during  the  year  passed  to  Stanley  and  West 
Coast  Theaters  with  management  and  operation 
vested   in  Stanley.

Fox  Film  Corp. 


NET  profit  of  $2,273,455  after  Federal  taxes, 
equivalent  to  $4.54  a  share  on  par  Class  A 
and  Class  B  stock  outstanding,  was  reported 
by  Fox  Film  Corp.,  for  the  nine  months  ended 
Sept.  30,  1927.  Consolidated  income  for  six  months 
showed  profit  of  $1,501,638;  Federal  tax  reserve 
of  $130,349  ;  net  profit  of  $1,371,289;  dividend  of 
$1,000,000,  leaving  a  surplus  of  $371,289. 

The  gross  income  of  Fox  Film,  from  the  United 
States  and  abroad,  for  the  six  weeks  starting  July 
1,  1927,  was  $2,290,707,  compared  with  $2',136,159 
in  the  corresponding  period  of  1926. 

Profits  of  Fox  Film  Corp.  were  $3,030,926  for 
1926,  including  subsidiaries,  after  deducting  Fed- 
eral income  tax.  Capital  stock  consists  of  400,000 
shares  of  Class  A,  no  par  value,  and  100,000 
shares  of  Class  B,  no  par  value.    The  1926  net 


was  therefore  equal  to  $6.06  a  share  on  the  Class 
A  and  Class  B. 

Assets,  as  outlined  in  the  1926  statement,  to- 
taled $33,307,432.  At  the  end  of  that  period  $4,- 
335,102  was  tied  up  in  unreleased  negatives  and 
$1,789,532  represented  pictures  in  various  stages 
of  production.  On  Dec.  25,  1926,  surplus  on  hand 
totaled  $12,946,108.  In  1925,  net  profit  was 
$2,752,547  which  represented  earnings  of  $5.54 
a  share  on  the  number  then  outstanding.  In  the 
last  five  years  net  earnings  after  all  charges 
averaged  $2,220,064  or  $4.44  a  share. 

Identified  with  Fox  Film  Corp.  is  the  Fox 
Theaters  Corp.,  which  is  treated  separately  here, 
but  which  may  be  merged  with  the  parent  com- 
pany early  in  1928.  The  following  statement  is

Fox  Theaters  Corp. 


FOX  THEATERS  CORP.,  associated  with  Fox 
Film  Corp.,  has  laid  out  a  program  calling 
for  the  construction  of  30  first  runs  seating 
between  4,000  and  5,000  each  in  key  cities.  The 
theaters  will  cost  from  $5,000,000  to  $12,000,000 
each  and  most  of  them  will  include  adjoining  of- 
fice buildings  and  stores.  Between  $150,000,000 
and  $200,0000,000  will  be  expended  before  the 
system  is  completed. 

The  financing  is  being  worked  out  so  as  to  leave 
the  Fox  Film  Corp.  entirely  unencumbered  with 
bonds  or  bank  loans.  All  theaters  will  be  owned 
or  operated  by  Fox  Theaters  Corp.,  under  the  same 
management  as  the  parent  company  without  being 
directly  connected  with  it. 

Capital  of  Fox  Theaters  Corp.  consists  of  800,- 
000  shares  of  no  par  Class  A  stock  and  100,000 
shares  of  no  par  Class  B  stock.  There  is  no 
preferred.  The  company  was  founded  in  Novem- 
ber, 1925,  with  assets  of  $21,000,000,  consisting 
of  real  estate  and  cash.     Its  net  profit  for  the 


52  weeks  ended  October  31,  192'6,  was  $654,101, 
which  does  not  include  income  from  the  new 
theaters  projected.  The  new  group,  it  is  antici- 
pated, will  add  about  $40,000,000  to  gross  assets. 
A  plan  whereby  Fox  Theaters  will  be  merged  with 
Fox  Film  is  being  seriously  considered  by  directors 
of  both  corporations. 

In  laying  out  the  plan  of  building,  key  cities 
were  divided  into  three  groups.  In  the  first 
are  cities  of  1,000,000  population  and  over,  in- 
cluding New  York,  Chicago,  Philadelphia  and 
Los  Angeles.  In  the  second  group  are  cities  of 
500,000  population  and  in  the  third  group,  cities 
with  average  population  of  250,000.  Construction 
work  has  been  started  on  new  theaters  in  Brook- 
lyn, two  in  New  York,  Detroit,  St.  Louis,  Phila- 
delphia, San  Francisco.  Others  are  planned  at 
a  future  date  for  Chicago,  Dayton,  O.,  Minneapo- 
lis, St.  Paul,  Hollywood,  Kansas  City,  Newark, 
N.  J.,  Boston  and  other  cities.

In  1927,  some  of  the  company's  activities  includ- 


ed the  opening  of  the  Savoy,  Brooklyn,  the  new 
Academy  of  Music,  New  York  City,  Fox's  in 
Washington,  opening  of  the  Great  Lakes  in  Buffalo 
in  which  the  company  holds  half  interest  and, 
most  important  of  all  securing  of  the  control  of 
the  Roxy.  It  is  estimated  that  net  income  of 
the  Roxy  will  equal  $2,500,000  per  year,  of  which 
approximately  $1,250,000  will  accrue  to  Fox  The- 
aters Corp.

COMPLETING  a  record  year  for  earnings,  the 
financial  statement  of  Loew's.  Inc.,  which  in- 
cludes Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer  and  100  per 
cent  owned  subsidiary  companies,  showed  a  net 
profit  of  $6,737,205  for  the  twelve  months  ending 
Aug.  31,  1927.  On  the  basis  of  1,060,885  shares 
of  common  outstanding,  the  earnings  were  $6.35 
per  share. 

Loew's,  Inc.,  reported  for  40  weeks  ended  June 
5.  1927,  net  profit  of  $5,404,899  after  depreciation 
and  taxes  equivalent  to  $5.09  a  share  earned 
on  1,060,820  no  par  shares  of  stock.  This  com- 
pared with  $5,244,193  or  $4.94  a  share  in  40 
weeks  ended  June  10,  1926. 

In  three  years  Loew's,  Inc.,  has  increased  its 
net  earnings  from  $2,415,489,  reported  for  the  fis- 
cal year  ended  Aug.  31,  1923.  to  $6,737,205  in  the 
1927  fiscal  year.  These  figures  on  earnings  tell

I. lew's  owns  or  controls   a  total   of   about  150 

theaters,  of  which  approximately  100  are  owned 
outright  subject  to  mortgages.  "The  Wall  Street 
Journal"  maintains  that  the  strongest  point  of  the 
system  is  that  82  houses  are  concentrated  in  or 
near  Greater  New  York  which  is  the  most  profita- 


ble amusement  center  in  the  world,  the  publication 

states. 

The  building  program  comprising  20  large  thea- 
ters will  add  between  50,000  and  60,000  seats  to 
the  chain.  The  new  houses,  a  number  of  which 
have  opened,  are  at  Evansville,  Akron,  Columbus 
and  Canton.  O.,  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  Kansas  City,  Mo., 
Richmond,  Va.,  Providence,  R.  I.,  Houston,  Tex., 
Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  New  Rochelle,  Yonkers,  Fordham, 
N.  Y.,  Ninth  Street,  Brooklyn,  86th  Street,  Brook- 
lyn, and  72nd  Street,  New  York,  Canal  Street, 
New  York,  and  Stamford,  Conn. 

In  June,  Loew's,  Inc.,  had  a  book  value  for  its 
1,060,780  shares  of  common  of  better  than  $35 
a  share.  In  1925  six  pieces  of  property  were  re- 
appraised and  written  up  sufficiently  to  wipe  off 
the  $10,977,083  good  will  item,  but  there  has  been 
no  other  revaluation  of  property  although  a  large 
proportion  of  the  holdings  have  been  owned  for 
over  five  years.  Generous  depreciation  reserves 
have  been  set  up  every  year  and,  in  most  in- 
stances, there  has  been  substantial  increase  in 
values. 

Loew's,  Inc.,  has  been  on  a  regular  $2  a  share 
annual  basis  since  1923  and  last  year  the  extra 
$1  a  share  was  paid  in  addition.  There  is  talk 
in  financial  quarters  that  the  regular  annual  rate 
may  be  increased  to  $3  a  share.  The  intimation 
is  advanced  that  directors  may  take  this  action  at 
the   dividend   meeting   in    February  and    that  the

nine  months  ending  Sept.  30,  1927.  was  $204.- 
061  after  deducting  interest  charges  and  Fed- 
eral taxes.  This  was  equivalent  to  95  cents  a 
share  on  the  number  of  shares  of  common

25  cents  on  the  common  was  passed.  Net  in- 
come for  the  seven  months  ended  July  31  was 
$161,762  after  Federal  taxes  and  all  other  charges. 


The  company  repurchased  part  of  its  five-year 
debentures,  reducing  to  $560,000  the  amount  out- 
standing of  its  $2,000,000  issue. 

Net  income  for  the  year  ended  Dec.  31,  1926. 
was  $494,294.30  before  taxes,  after  providing  nor- 
mal reserve  for  losses  of  $53,490.62.  Directors 
of  the  corporation,  however,  authorized  an  addi- 
tional provision  for  losses  of  $135,000,  applicable 
to  business  originating  prior  to  1926.  This  reduces 
net  income  before  taxes  to  $359,294.30,  leaving  a 
final  net  profit  after  taxes  of  $295,848.48.  Total 
lendings  of  the  company  to  date  exceed  $21,000.- 
000.  The  net  income  of  $295,848,  after  interest. 
Federal  taxes,  etc.,  is  equivalent,  after  preferred 
dividends,  to  $1.40  a  share  earned  on  outstanding 
175,464   no-par   shares   of   common.     This  com-

National  Theater  Supply  Co. 


NATIONAL  Theater  Supply  netted  a  profit  of 
$716,398   during    1926.     This   was  equivalent 
to  $35.81   a  share  on   20,000  shares  of  pre- 
ferred  stock   and   $1.15   a   share   on   500,000  no 
par   common  after   seven   per  cent  dividends  on 
preferred. 

Income  account  of  1926  follows:  Sales  $7,661.- 
084;  costs  and  expenses  $6,840,841;  balance  $820,- 
243;   other  income   $154,922;  total   income  $975,- 


165;  interest  $32,500;  other  deductions  $116,267  ; 
depreciation  and  estimated  Federal  taxes  $110,000; 
net  profit  $716,398;  preferred  dividends  $140,000; 
surplus  $576,398.  These  earnings  consist  of  com- 
bined income  of  the  32  acquired  theater  supply 
dealers'  businesses  for  the  period  of  approximately 
seven  months  ended  July  31,  1926.  and  company's 
operations  since  its  organization  for  five  month* 
ended   Dec.    31,  1926. 


Orpheum  Circuit,  Inc. 


COMPARISON  of  Orpheum  earnings  for  the 
first  six  months  of  1927  with  the  like  period 
•  in  1926  shows  a  decrease.  For  the  six  months 
ended  June  30,  1927,  net  income  was  $736,806  after 
interest,  depreciation  and  Federal  taxes.  This  is 
equivalent,  after  8  per  cent  dividend  requirement, 
to  87  cents  a  share  at  $1  par,  representing  earn- 
ings on  549,170  shares  of  common  stock.  Sub- 
sidiaries are  included.  This  compares  with  income 
of  $1, 094,925,  or  $1.53  a  share  for  the  first  half  of 
1926. 

Orpheum  reported  1926  net  earnings  amounting 
to  $2,086,179,  after  depreciation,  interest  and  a 
$300,000   reserve   for   contingencies.     These  earn- 


ings were  equivalent,  after  8  per  cent,  preferred 
dividends,  to  $2.88  a  share  earned  on  549,170 
outstanding  shares  of  $1  par  value  common  stock 
and  compared  with  $2,174,820,  or  $3.03  a  share,  on 
common  in  1925  after  Federal  taxes. 

The  company  had  no  income  tax  liability  for 
1926  because  of  a  loss  taken  on  the  disposition  of 
leasehold  property  acquired  in  the  organization  of 
the  company.  This  loss,  amounting  to  $3,889,863 
was  charged  against  capital  surplus,  reducing  that 
item  to  $26,763,778.  Assets  are  $50,523,636  com- 
pared  with   $54,278,516   in  1925.

Paramount-Famous  Lasky  Corp. 


COMBINED  net  profits  of  $1,118,101.85  for 
the  three  months  and  $5,650,427.34  for  the 
nine  months  ended  Oct.  1,  after  deducting 
all  charges  and  reserves  for  Federal  income  and 
other  taxes  were  shown  by  the  consolidated  state- 
ment of  Paramount,  which  included  earnings  of 
subsidiaries. 

The  nine  months  figures  included  $698,214.32, 
Paramount's  undistributed  share  of  earnings  of 
the  Balaban  &  Katz  Corp.  a  65  per  cent  owned 
subsidiary. 

Bankers  anticipate  Paramount-Famous  Lasky 
Corp.  profits  for  1927  will  run  between  $8,500,000 
and  $9,000,000,  which  would  mean  a  high  mark 
in  earnings  for  the  corporation.  The  statement 
will  be  issued  in  March,  1928. 

Such  earnings  would  mean  a  return  on  the 
common  after  preferred  dividends  of  around  $14  a 
share.  Peak  earnings  for  Paramount  were  those 
of  1925.  when  net  amounted  to  $5,718,054.  Last 
year's  profits  were  $5,600,815. 

Earnings  for  1927  were  reported  to  have  in- 
creased substantially  by  the  lower  cost  of  opera- 
tion, aided  by  a  materia!  cutting  down  of  pay- 
rolls. From  July  3  to  Oct.  13,  the  company  spent 
$1,550,000  less  than  was  called  for  by  the  Jan.  1 
production  budget,  while  gross  film  rentals  for  the 
third  quarter  were  23  per  cent  greater  than  for  the 
corresponding  period  of  1926. 

Tn  the  first  quarter  of  1927,  Paramount  earned 
$2,067,273  and  in  the  second  quarter.  $1,465,051  or 
$3,532,325  for  the  first  half  of  the  year.  Fig- 
ures for  the  first  and  second  quarters  include  its 
$479,41  5.55  undistributed  share  of  earnings  of 
Balaban  &  Katz,  a  65  per  cent  owned  subsidiary. 
After  allowing  for  payment  of  dividends'  on  the 
preferred,  the  earnings  amount  to  $2.27  per  share 
for  the  three  months  and  $5.60  per  share  for  the 
six  months,  on  the  577,798  shares  of  common 
outstanding. 

This  compares  with  earnings  of  $6.04  a  share 
on  the  375,647  shares  outstanding  in  the  first  half 
of  1926  when  the  profits  totaled  $2,598,508. 

Paramount's  balance  sheet  as  of  April  2,  1927, 
showed  an  increase  in  bank  loans  to  $12,717,811 
against  $5,079,594  as  of  Jan.  1,  1927,  a  gain  of 
approximately  $7,700,000. 

Several  years  ago  Paramount  tied  up  a  large 
portion  of  its  working  assets  in  real  estate  and 
ran  bank  loans  up  to  $8,000,000,  but  all  bank 
loans  were  paid  off  in  1924  and  did  not  reappear 
on  the  balance  sheet  until  the  end  of  1926,  when 
they  became  necessary  due  to  the  large  number 
of  features  made  last  year,  a  number  of  which 
have  been  carried  over  in  inventory  and  not  put 
in  general  release. 

Paramount's  expansion  program  in  the  last  three 
years  increased  gross  assets  in  wholly  owned  real 
estate  from  $13,689,651  in  1924  to  $75,318,935  in 
1926,  while  total  gross  assets  were  increased  from 
$61,835,396  to  $143,893,976.  In  the  same  time 
total  liabilities  increased  from  $21,457,744  to  $67,- 
516,480.  Much  of  the  additional  property  was 
acquired  through  funds  obtained  by  the  sale  of 
common  stock,  of  which  about  $30,000,000  has 
been  sold  in  the  last  three  years. 

So  far  tins'  expansion  has  not  yet  been  reflected 
in  any  material  increase  in  earnings,  which  in 
1926  were  $5,600,815,  equal  to  $10.82  a  share  on 
459.020  average  shares  of  common  outstanding, 
against  $5,421,214,  equal  to  $20.08  a  share  on 
235,931  shares,  in  1924. 


Consolidated  statement  as  of  April  2,  1927  shows 
total  assets  of  $149,847,935  compared  with  $143,- 
893,976  on  Jan.  1,  1927,  and  profit  and  loss 
surplus  of  $16,496,566  against  $15,733,422.  Cur- 
rent assets  totaled  $38,821,727  and  current  liabilities 
$24,224,107  as  compared  with  $36,063,151  and 
$18,816,630  respectively,  on  Jan.   1,  1927. 

Paramount  in  the  last  several  years  has  been 
engaged  in  an  expansion  program,  consolidating  its 
position.  The  two  most  important  moves  made 
recently  are  purchase  of  a  65  per  cent  interest  in 
Balaban  and  Katz,  which  was  not  taken  over  until 
Oct.  15,  1926;  and  the  Paramount  in  New  York, 
which  opened  Nov.  19,  1926.  No  appreciable  in- 
come from  either  of  these  properties  was  included 
in  the  1926  account. 

The  year  1927  must  go  down  as  another  year 
of  expansion.  Larger  income  from  completed  the- 
aters will  be  to  some  extent  offset  by  expense  of 
expansion.  The  real  earning  power  and  the  full 
results  of  new  money  invested  will  probably  not 
be  shown  until  the  report  for  1928  is  made  public 
in  March,  1929. 

In  the  spring  of  1927,  191,482  share?  of  new 
common  stock  were  sold  to  stockholders  for  ap- 
proximately $20,580,000.  Since  only  $524,105  was 
carried  to  surplus  from  earnings  last  year,  after 
payment  of  dividends  on  the  increased  amount  of 
common  stock,  a  total  of  approximately  $21,000,000 
went  into  the  company.  Of  this  amount  $8,000,000 
went  directly  into  the  B.  and  K.  purchase,  around 
$4,000,000  into  the  Paramount  theater  and  the 
remainder  was  used  for  various  other  theater 
enterprises. 

The  following  table  shows  earnings,  net  per 
share  and  number  of  shares  of  common  outstand- 
ing since  1919:

Earnings  on  459,020  average  number  of  shares 
outstanding  in   1926  were  $10.82  a  share  and  in 

1925  were  $18,39  a  share  on  275,102  average 
number  of  shares  outstanding  during  the  year. 

In  November,  Paramount  called  in  the  out- 
standing preferred  stock,  amounting  to  77,450 
shares,  as  of  Feb.  1,  1928,  and  aggregating  in 
value  $7,745,000.  To  provide  money  to  retire 
this  preferred  to  pay  the  bank  loans,  and  to 
reimburse  the  company  for  money  paid  out  for 
the  purchase  of  properties  during  expansion,  the 
company  sold  an  issue  of  $16,000,000  par  value  of 
twenty  year  6  per  cent  debenture  bonds  to  Kuhn, 
Loeb  and  Co.,  which  sold  them,  in  turn,  to  the 
investing  public  and  issued  98,000  shares  of  com- 
mon for  which  stockholders  were  given  the  right 
to  subscribe  at  the  rate  of  one  share  of  the  new 
block  for  every  six  held.  The  price  was  $98.50 
a  share.  The  proceeds  realized  from  the  issue  of 
the  common  exceed  the  amount  required  for  re- 
demption of  the  preferred.  The  entire  equities 
of  the  corporation  outside  of  $16,000,000  of  de- 
bentures will  be  owned  by  the  common  stock- 
holders, under  the  plan.

Pathe  Exchange,  Inc. 


THE  first  six  months  of  1927  were  marked  by 
reorganization  and  absorption  plans  of  Pathe 
Exchange,  Inc.  During  this  period,  the  com- 
pany took  over  Producers  Distributing  Corp,  while 
the  Keith-Albee  and  Orpheum  circuits  secured 
substantial  stock  interests  in  Pathe.  thereby  as- 
suring the  latter  a  theater  outlet  for  its  product. 
In  view  of  the  changes  in  the  financial  structure, 
Pathe  departed  from  its  usual  custom  and  failed 
to  issue  a  financial  report  covering  the  first  28 
weeks  of  1927. 

Net  for  the  year  ended  Dec.  25,  1926  was 
$899,676  or  $532,080  less  than  for  the  previous 
year.  The  1926  net  was  equivalent  to  $4.17  on 
199,660  shares  of  no  par  common  as  compared  with 
$7.68  on  177,561  shares  in  1925.

As  a  result  of  the  merger,  J.  J.  Murdock,  long 
prominent  in  the  operation  of  the  Keith-Albee 
organization,  was  elected  president  and  Elmer 
Pearson  and  John    C.    Flinn  vice-presidents. 

To  give  representation  to  the  new  interests 
which  became  identified  with  Pathe,  the  board  of 
directors  was  increased  to  15  members,  consisting 
of  J.  J.  Murdock,  chairman ;  E.  F.  Albee,  George 


Arnsby,  Frank  Callahan;  Cecil  B.  I)e  Millc.  Paul 
Fuller,  Maurice  Goodman,  Marcus  Heiman,  E. 
G.  Lauder,  Edmund  C.  Lynch,  Teremiah  Mil- 
bank,  P>.  S.  Moss,  Charles  Pathe,  Elmer  R.  Pear- 
son and  Elisha  Walker. 

The  first  step  in  the  new  financing  which  then 
became  necessary  was  an  issue  of  $6,000,000  10- 
year  79c  debentures.  These  debentures  bore  stock 
purchase  warrants  entitling  the  holder  of  each 
$1,000  debenture  to  purchase  20  shares  of  com- 
mon stock  at  prices  of  $25  a  share  prior  to  May 
1,  1929;  thereafter  at  $30  a  share  prior  to  May 
1,  1931;.  thereafter  at  $35  a  share  prior  to  May 
1,  1933;  thereafter  at  $40  a  share  prior  to  May  1, 
1935,  and  thereafter  at  $50  a  share  prior  to  May 
1,  1937.  The  debentures  are  redeemable  at  a 
price  of  110  and  accrued  interest  on  any  interest 
date  up  to  May  1,  1928,  the  premium  thereafter 
decreasing  one  per  cent  each  year.  A  fixed  semi- 
annual sinking  fund  beginning  Feb.  1,  1928,  will 
retire  50  per  cent  of  the  issue  by  maturity. 

The  financing  was  to  permit  the  company  to 
carry  out  expansion  plans,  which  involve  long 
term  contracts  with  the  Keith-Albee  and  Orpheum 
circuits  on  exhibition  and  arrangements  with 
Cecil  B.  De  Mille  and  the  Cinema  Corp.  for  an 
enlarged  production  schedule  of  both  features  and 
short  subjects.  Funds  provided  by  the  sale  of 
debentures  also  applied  as  part  consideration  for 
the  acquisition  of  certain  assets  of  the  Cinema 
Corp.  and  its  subsidiaries,  to  the  redemption  of 
$900,000  10-year  eight  per  cent  gold  bonds  and 
to  increase  working  capital. 

The  capitalization  plans  is  as  follows: 

The  new  authorized  capital  consists  of  500.000 
shares  of  Class  A  preference  stock  entitled  to  $4 
in  annual  dividends  and  after  the  common  stock 
has  received  $2  in  annua!  dividends,  to  participate 
share  for  share  with  the  common,  up  to  an  addi- 
tional $3  in  any  year.  There  is  also  authorized 
1,500.000  shares  of  new  no  par  common  stock. 

The  present  199,660  shares  of  combined  Class  A 
and  Class  B  stocks  was  to  be  exchanged  share  for 
share  for  new  Class  A  plus  one-half  share  of  new 
common  for  each  share  of  Class  A  and  B. 

As  consideration  for  the  property  and  contracts 
acquired,  Pathe  was  to  pay  $1,000,000  in  cash 
and  issue  50,000  shares  of  new  Class  A  and  600.- 
000  shares  of  new  Class  B  stock.  There  thus  will 
be  outstanding  in  the  first  instance  200,566  shares 
of  new  Class  A  stock  and  700,283  shares  of  new 
common  stock. 

Among  investments  are  $522,500  stock  and  bonds 
of  the  du  PontiPathe  Film  Manufacturing  Co. 
which  supplies  Pathe  with  its  raw  stock.  Listing 
of  259.739  shares  of  Class  A  preference  stock  and 
824,870  shares  of  common  was  approved  by  the 
N.  Y.  Stock  Exchange  in  June.

Roxy  Theaters  Corp. 


AUTHORIZATION  of  a  plan  to  retire  current 
debts  of  Roxy  Theaters  Corp.,  through  is- 
suance of  $2,500,000  in  6J4  five-year  sinking 
fund    gold    notes    was    given    by    stockholders  in 
September,  1927. 

The  purpose  of  the  financing  was  to  erase  a 
deficit  of  over  $2,000,000  incurred  in  erection  of  the 
theater.  Current  indebtedness  of  the  company 
amounted  to  $2,300,000  in  March  when  the  house 
opened  but  was  reduced  to  $1,937,541  on  July  1. 
Income  since  the  opening  exceeded  expectations, 
S.  L.  Rothafel  pointed  out  to  stockholders  in 
September,  stating  that  it  had  never  dropped 
as  low  as  the  estimated  gross  of  $85,000.  Net, 
he  said,  is  running  at  an  average  of  $40,000  weekly. 
Net  for  the  first  year  of  operation  ending  in 
March,  1928  will  be  between  $1,750,000  and  $2,- 
250,000  after  all  charges,  he  estimated,  predicting 
the  second  year  would  show  an  increase  of  15  per 
cent. 

(For  detailed  grosses  of  the  Rory  week  by  week 


turn  to  index  and  look  under  "Variety's  Box  Office 
Records.") 

Shortly  after  its  opening  control  passed  to  the 
Fox  Theater  Corp.  It  was  assumed  that  follow- 
ing the  flotation  of  the  $2,500,000  in  debentures, 
dividends  on  the  Class  A  stock  of  which  125,000 
shares  are  outstanding  would  be  declared.  Crit- 
icism of  directors  representing  the  Fox  interests 
developed  in  October  for  their  refusal  to  agree  to 
declaration  of  a  dividend  by  Bennett,  Converse  & 
Schwab,  New  York  brokerage  firm  which  originally 
brought  out   Class  A  stock. 

In  the  opinion  of  three  directors  representing 
Class  A  stock,  the  earning  record  for  the  sum- 
mer and  indicated  earnings  records  for  the  winter 
justified  inauguration  of  dividends,  but  such  action 
was  resisted  by  four  directors  representing  Fox 
interests  and  the  director  representing  the  house 
owning  the  note  issue.  The  bankers  stated  that 
gross  income  from  March  19  to  Sept.  30,  ag- 
gregated $3,040,654,  indicating  a  weekly  average 
of  $104,800,  while  expenses  have  average  $83,- 
956  weekly.

S CHINE  CHAIN  THEATERS,  INC.,  allied 
with  Universal  Chain  Theaters  Corp.,  re- 
ported earnings  in  1926  available  for  divi- 
dends and  taxes  of  $176,771.70,  after  charging  off 
depreciation  of  $55,993.29,  equivalent  to  $8.84  a 
share  on  the  20,000  shares  of  preference  stock 
outstanding.  This  compares  with  $103,832.95  in 
1925,  or  $5.19  a  share,  an  increase  of  70.3  per 
cent.  Profits  available  for  dividends  and  taxes 
were    4.42   times   the    requirement   for  dividends 


on  the  preference  stock  in  1926,  compared  with 
2.58  times  in  1925.  These  figures  do  not  include 
the  equities  of  Schine  Chain  Theaters,  Inc.,  in 
the  undivided  earnings  of  its  subsidiaries  less 
than   100%  owned. 

During  August,  negotiations  were  consummated 
with  E.  G.  Childs  &  Co.,  Inc.,  of  Syracuse,  N.  Y., 
whereby  the  Schine  Chain  Theaters,  Inc.,  dis- 
posed of  20,000  shares  of  preference  stock.  This

*re  controlled  through  partial  ownership,  lease- 
hold or  stock  control. 

Quick  assets  as  of  Oct.  1,  1927,  were  $7,367,000, 
as  compared  with  current  liabilities  of  $748,000. 
Only  a  small  portion  of  the  capital  supplied  by 
the  stockholders  earlier  in  1927  and  other  in- 
vested funds,  have  become  productive,  and  these 
only  recently.  Earnings  of  theaters  which  were 
in  existence  on  Jan.  1,  1927,  show  an  increase 
for  this  year  over  the  corresponding  period  of 
1926.  During  this  period,  however,  the  money 
invested  in  land,  buildings,  fixtures  and  cash  on 
hand,  earmarked  for  construction,  averaged  ap- 
proximately $10,000,000,  virtually  none  of  which 
has   so  far  earned   any  money. 

Stanley   during   the   year   increased   its  capital 


stock  from  1,000,000  to  2,500,000  shares,  but  no 
additional  stock  was  issued,  the  step  being  mere- 
ly to  permit  issuance  at  some  future  time  as 
required  for  expansion,  likewise,  the  outstanding 
stock  was  based  on  a  $4  annual  dividend  basis. 

A  highly  important  development  took  place  early 
in  1927  when  Stanley,  in  conjunction  with  West 
Coast  Theaters,  acquired  control  of  First  Na- 
tional. 

In  December  a  committee  representing  Stanley 
looked  over  the  Wesco  properties  with  the  view 
to  purchasing  control.  This  would  place  Stanley 
in  complete  domination  of  First  National.

United  Artists  Theater  Circuit,  Inc. 


NET  income  of  United  Artists  Theater  Circuit, 
Inc.,  and  subsidiaries  for  the  period  from 
May  22,  1926,  to  August  31,  1927  (subsidiary 
companies  from  respective  dates  of  acquisition  or 
incorporation)  was  $261,785  after  taxes,  interest, 
provision  for  depreciation  and  amortization.  This 
is  equivalent  to  $6.54  a  share  earned  on  40.000 
shares,  par  $100,  of  7%  convertible  preferred 
stock. 

Joseph  M.  Schenck,  president,  pointed  out  in 
November  that  the  fifteen  months  to  August  31, 
covered  by  the  statement,  were  almost  entirely  a 
period  of  development. 

The  company  was  almost  solely  engaged  in 
acquiring  theaters,  building  new  ones  and  taking 
over  partnerships  in  other?. 

The  circuit  includes  12  houses  in  New  York, 
Baltimore,  Pittsburgh,  Columbus,  Hollywood  and 
Seattle  and  five  others.  Of  this  latter  group,  the 
Los  Angeles  and   Chicago  houses  opened   in  De- 


cember. Others  are  located  in  Detroit,  Portland. 
Ore.,  and  Columbus,  O.  (second  theater  operated 
in  conjunction  with  Loew's,  Inc.)  "The  seventeen 
theaters  completed  and  announced,"  said  Schenck, 
"appear  on  the  August  31  balance  sheet  as  a  net 
investment  of  $3,572,134,  which  figure  is  ex- 
pected to  be  substantially  reduced  by  local  mort- 
gage financing  of  two  houses  now  under  con- 
struction." 

Under  contract  with  Paramount-Famous  Players 
Corp.  the  Rialto  and  Rivoli  in  New  York  will  be 
divided  equally  between  United  Artists  and  Para- 
mount pictures.  They  have  been  running  at  the 
rate  of  $200,000  a  year  profit  since  Sept.,  the  com- 
pany states. 

The  circuit  will  operate  very  few  theaters.  Most 
of  its  holdings  are  partnership  arrangements  with 
Loew's,  Inc.  and  several  with  Publix  Theaters 
Corp.,  both  of  which  handle  management.

to  Aug.  31,  1927,  follows:

standing, compared  with  $2.16  per  share  in  the 
first  half  of  1926.  The  first  half  of  1927,  there- 
fore, showed  a  drop  in  profits  over  the  same  period 
of  1926.

complete  fiscal  year,  established  new  high  records.

to  $1,968,089.  equivalent,  after  preferred  divi- 
dends, to  $6.41  a  share  on  the  outstanding  250.000 
shares  of  no-par  common,  compared  with  $1,925,- 
526,  or  $6.18  a  share,  in  1925.

1927,  which  represent  the  third  quarter  aggre- 
gated in  the  neighborhood  of  $500,000,  after  all 
charges  and  taxes,  the  company  stated  late  in  De- 
cember.

new  records  in  1926.  Gross  income  from  all 
sources  amounted  to  $27,676,926,  and  of  such  in- 
come that  from  foreign  sources  totaled  $8,436,171. 
compared  with  $7,762,150  in  1925.  Over  30%  of 
the  company's  gross  was  received  from  foreign 
sources.

ing been  retired  during  the  year.  It  also  had 
outstanding  $2,000,000  second  preferred  7%  cum- 
ulative stock,  and  250,000  shares  of  no-par  com- 
mon.

Since  incorporation  the  company  has  adopted  the  policy  of  charging  off  the  entire  cost 
of  new  pictures  when  released  for  exhibition  and  this  plan  has  been  follmvcd  consistently 
during  the  year  ending  Nov.  6,  1926,  except  in  the  case  of  several  pictures  (the  cost  of 
negatives  and  positives  aggregating  $1,073,062.42)  which  were  partially  distributed  prior  to 
the  date  officially  fixed  for  release:  the  cost  of  these  pictures  is  carried  in  the  item  of 
"Film  Completed  But  Not  Released."  On  the  other  hand  rentals  received  on  these  pic- 
tures, amounting  to  $392,912.47,  less  commission  thereon  of  $85,630.97,  have  been  con- 
sidered by  the  company  as  deferred  income  and  not  taken  up  as  income  for  the  year.  The 
item  "Released  Film"  on  the  balance  sheet  has  been  carried  at  a  fixed  amount  substantially 
below  the  value  of  current  released  film  if  computed  on  the  exhaustion  basis  used  by  many 
other  companies.

Universal  Chain  Theaters  Corp. 


NET  income  applicable  to  dividends  from  the 
date  of  organization  of  Universal  Chain  The- 
aters Corp.  on  Dec.  15,  1925,  to  Jan.  1,  1927, 
amounted  to  $411,405.  According  to  the  com- 
pany this  was  equivalent  to  1.21  times  dividend 
requirements  on  the  $4,000.0000  eight  per  cent 
cumulative  preferred  outstanding.  This  does  not 
include  the  company's  equity  in  undivided  earn- 
ings during  the  year  (in  excess  of  dividends  re- 
ceived) of  partially  owned  companies,  which  on 
Jan.  1,  1927,  amounted  to  $86,941.  If  this 
amount  is  included,  dividend  requirements  on  this 
stock  were  earned  1.55  times.  Net  tangible  assets 
as  at  Jan.  1,  1927,  exclusive  of  good  will,  organi- 
zation expenses,   amounted  to  $5,010,721. 

The  number  of  theaters  in  the  chain  was  tripled 
during  1926.  The  theaters  added  were  acquired 
or  completed  at  various  dates  throughout  the  year 
so  that  income  from  them,  in  some  instances,  was 
received  for  only  a  few  weeks,  it  was  pointed  out. 
Investments  in  theaters  under  construction  and 
prepayment  on   acquisitions  amounted,   as  of  Jan. 

*  * 


1,  1927.  to  approximately  $1,000,000:  from  these 
properties  no  income  was  received  during  the  year. 
On  the  same  date  the  company  still  had  $1,500,- 
000  of  its  original  capital  available  for  expansion. 

Outstanding  capitalization  of  the  company  is  as 
follows : 

8%  cumulative  preferred  stock..  $4,000,000

The  $4,000,000  preferred  was  offered  for  pub- 
lic subscription;  of  the  $2,000,000  second  preferred, 
$1,000,000  was  purchased  for  cash  at  par  by 
Carl  Laemmle,  and  $1,000,000  was  taken  by  Uni- 
versal Pictures  Co.  in  part  payment  for  its  chain 
of  motion  picture  theaters.

Distribution  Percentage  Tables 


COMPOSITE  average  percentages  of  distribution  appear  in  the  two  charts  found 
below.    It  was  found  impractical  to  record  the  tables  by  individual  distributors  be- 
cause of  difference  in  territorial  divisions. 

Average  percentages  of  national  distributors  are  listed  by  key-city  exchange  centers, 
and  not  according  to  state  territories  like  those  in  the  independent  chart.  On  this  page 
will  also  be  found  another  table  showing  territories  covered  by  each  Film  Board,  from 
which  can  be  obtained  a  fairly  accurate  idea  of  how  the  country  is  divided  into  territories.

A  Survey  of  the  Industry  in  Canada 


Canada  is  generally  accepted  as  part  of  the  domestic  market, 
and,  for  this  reason,  all  lists  appearing  in  the  "Film  Daily  Year 
Book"  embrace  the  Dominion.  Exchanges,  studios,  laboratories, 
producers,  etc.,  operating  in  that  country  are  recorded  immediately 
following  each  American  listing. 

THE  DOMINION  OF  CANADA  is  regarded  by  members  of  the  American  film  in- 
dustry, as  part  of  its  domestic  market.  About  1,020  theaters  operate  in  the  Dominion 
and  their  programs  are  99  per  cent  American.  Population  is  small  and  is  scattered 
over  a  tremendous  territory. 

Agitation  against  American  films  is  not  pronounced,  unlike  a  number  of  other  foreign 
countries.  Copyright  relations  are  governed  by  the  copyright  act  of  1909  and  by  proclama- 
tion Dec.  27,  1923.  There  is  very  little  production  and  that  which  does  exist  is  almost 
solely  of  an  educational  nature.  However,  several  companies  which  plan  to  make  feat- 
ures are  in  embryonic  state.  Censorship,  although  not  of  a  national  nature,  prevails  in 
each  province.  The  boards  are  strict,  especially  in  Quebec,  whose  censorship  policy  has 
caused  considerable  difficulty  to  distributors. 

A  brief  summary  of  film  and  economic  conditions  in  each  province  follows: 


Alberta 

THERE  are  110  theaters  in  this  province.  In 
addition,  the  Calgary  exchanges  serve  seven  in 
British  Columbia  and  the  30  in  Saskatchewan. 
Alberta's  theaters  are  only  exceeded  by  Saskat- 
chewan. The  Calgary  office  serves  the  great  bulk 
of  the  theaters.  However,  the  majority  of  these 
theaters  are  located  in  very  small  towns  and  vil- 
lages, many  of  which  are  only  open  once  and  at 
a  maximum,  in  most  cases,  of  twice  a  week. 

The  few  theaters  handled  from  Calgary  are 
located  on  the  Eastern  side  of  the  Rockies  and  on 
the  immediate  western  side. 

Generally  speaking,  business  in  these  provinces 
depends  greatly  upon  the  crops  produced.  The 
West  suffered  a  period  of  about  five  years  of 
bad  crops  and  the  picture  business  was  consequent- 
ly very  bad.  During  the  past  three  years  crops 
have  been  very  good  and  a  consequent  upturn 
has  been  apparent. 

The  Alberta  Censor  Board  at  the  present  time 
sits  in  Edmonton  and  has  a  censor  fee  of  $2  a  reel. 
There  is  no  appeal  board  and  trailers  are  not  sub- 
ject to  censorship.  The  provincial  license  fee  is 
$250  and  the  city  tax  $102.  Exchanges,  are  loca- 
ted in  a  semi-fire-proof  building  close  to  the  centre 
of  the  city. 

British  Columbia 

THERE  are  125  theaters  in  British  Columbia. 
The  important  towns  are  Vancouver,  Victoria, 
situated  on  Vancouver  Island;  New  Westmin- 
ster, and  Prince  Rupert. 

The  majority  of  the  balance  of  the  towns  left 
are  very  small  being  mining  villages,  small  agricul- 
tural centres,  lumbering  points  and  fishing  centres. 
Some  of  the  towns  are  owned  and  operated  by  the 
companies  engaged  in  the  industry  of  that  partic- 
ular section. 

Twenty-five  to  thirty  per  cent  of  the  total  revenue 
from  the  territory,  and  in  the  case  of  some  distri- 
butors this  percentage  may  even  be  higher,  is 
obtained  from  Vancouver  and  Victoria. 

The  one  peculiarity  about  British  Columbia  film 
situation  is  that  it  is  a  spot  booking  territory. 
In  a  great  many  cases  the  exhibitors  have  not 
been  educated  to  the  spot  booking  and  group  buy- 
ing policy.  The  result  of  this  is  clearly  shown 
in  the  uncertain  and  rapidly  varying  business  of  the 
various  distributors. 

Vancouver  supplies  the  Yukon  territory.  The 
only  town  of  any  importance  in  this  territory 
is  Dawson  City.  The  usual  practice  among  the 
distributors  is  to  ship  a  quantity  of  film  in  tht 
early  fall  before  the  ice  comes,  which  supplies  them 
for  the  entire  winter,  and  the  film  is  returned  in 


the  spring.  The  estimated  population  in  1924  was 
about  554,000.  There  are  about  12,000,000  acres 
of  agricultural  land  available.  British  Columbia 
possesses  one-third  of  the  total  forest  resources  of 
Canada,  of  which  50  per  cent  is  located  in  Van- 
couver Island. 

Manitoba 

IN  Manitoba  there  are  46  theaters.    Winnipeg  is 
the   largest  city   and   contains   27.     A  certain 
number  of  theaters  in   Saskatchewan  and  On- 
tario are  handled  from  Winnipeg. 

The  censor  boards  for  Manitoba  and  Saskatche- 
wan sit  in  Winnipeg.  The  censor  fee  is  $2  per 
reel  for  each  province.  There  is  an  appeal 
board  for  Manitoba.  Saskatchewan  has  no  ap- 
peal board.  Trailers  must  be  censored,  no  fee 
being  charged  in  Manitoba  and  $1  a  reel  in  Sas- 
katchewan. 

The  exchanges  are  located  in  a  fireproof  build- 
ing on  Hargreave  Ave.  The  Manitoba  provincial 
license  is  $225  with  a  city  license  of  $1.  The 
Saskatchewan  provincial  license  is  $250  and  there 
is  a  business  tax  in  Manitoba  of  $100. 

Manitoba,  most  generally  known  as  a  wheat- 
growing  province  in  reality  leads  all  Canadian 
provinces  in  the  production  of  barley.  In  1925 
Manitoba  had  an  average  of  36  acres  of  barley  per 
farm.    There  are  large  deposits  of  copper. 

New  Brunswick— Nova  Scotia  and 
•        Prince  Edward  Island 

IN   New   Brunswick,   there   are   35    theaters,  in 
Nova  Scotia  51,  and  in  Prince  Edward  Island 
there  are  four.     The  important  towns  are :  St. 
John,  N.   B.,  Halifax,  N.   S.,  Moncton,   N.  B., 
Fredericton,  N.  B.,  Glace  Bay,  N.  S.,  Sydney,  N. 
S.,  Yarmouth,  N.  S.,  and  St.  Stephen,  N.  B. 

The  balance  of  the  towns  in  this  territory  are 
very  small  and,  generally  speaking,  very  back- 
ward. Some  theaters  close  in  the  winter  and  some 
in  the  summer.  From  30  to  40  per  cent  of  the 
revenue  in  the  district  comes  from  Halifax  and 
St.  John  and  close  to  50  per  cent  from  the  im- 
portant towns  indicated  above. 

Taxation  in  this  section  has  been  very  high 
and  at  one  time  there  was  considerable  talk  of 
the  exchanges  moving  from  St.  John,  where  they 
are  at  present  located,  to  Moncton,  in  order  to  be 
situated  at  a  more  convenient  railway  point  and 
with  less  expense. 

New  Brunswick  and  Nova  Scotia  both  have 
censor  boards.  The  censor  fee  in  New  Brunswick 
is  $1  and  in  Nova  Scotia  $1.50.  In  New  Bruns- 
wick there  is  an  appeal  board  consisting  of  the 


831 


censor  board,  but  in  Nova  Scotia  the  only  appeal 
is  to  the  Premier  of  the  province. 

Prince  Edward  Island  has  no  censor  board,  al- 
though at  a  recent  meeting  of  the  legislature  there 
was  agitation  on  this  point,  but  the  ridiculous 
angle  of  maintaining  a  censor  board  to  censor  pic- 
tures for  three  theaters  killed  the  act. 

Generally  speaking,  the  Maritime  Provinces 
have  been  the  most  backward  in  Canada.  So  much 
has  their  general  condition  declined  that  representa- 
tives of  these  provinces  are  making  very  strong 
representations  to  the  Dominion  Government  for 
better  recognition  of  their  needs  and  more  assist- 
ance. It  is  generally  believed  that  the  problems 
of  these  provinces  are  being  better  understood  than 
ever  before  and  with  assistance  that  will  be  forth- 
coming shortly  the  condition  will  greatly  improve. 

Newfoundland 

ST.  JOHN'S  is  the  capital  of  the  province  and 
the  only  town  of  any  size,  having  a  population 
of  40,000. 

Pictures  are  shown  in  St.  John's,  Belle  Island, 
Harbor  Grace,  Cornerbrook  and  Grand  Falls,  but 
most  of  these  towns  are  supplied  by  one  of  the 
first-run  accounts  in  St.  John's,  on  a  circuit  basis, 
consuming  a  rough  total  of  play  dates  amounting 
to  ten  days. 

There  is  a  duty  on  film  of  25  cents  a  reel,  which 
is  paid  by  the  exhibitor.  The  country  in  general 
is  a  sportsman's  paradise. 

The  population  is,  roughly,  225,000.  The  largest 
industry  is  fishing,  amounting  to  about  $12,000,- 
000  to  $14,000,000  annually.  Considerable  mining 
is  done,  principally  at  Belle  Island,  from  which 
large  iron  ore  shipments  are  made  to  Germany  and 
Sydney,  N.  S. 

Ontario 

WITH  about  40  per  cent  of  the  total  revenue 
in  Canada  located  in  Ontario  every  distrib- 
J  utor    must    give    special    attention    to  this 
province.    There  are  360  theaters  in  Ontario.  Tor- 
onto, capital  and  chief  city,  is  the  Canadian  head- 
quarters  for   most   of   the   distributing  companies. 

The  exchange  license  is  $400  a  year.  At  present, 
most  of  the  exchanges  are  located  in  fire  proof 
building  at  277  Victoria  St.  While  general  fire 
laws  are  not  so  drastic  as  in  many  of  the  cities, 
at  the  same  time  it  is  conceded  that  safety  condi- 
tions in  Canadian  exchanges  are  equal  to  the  best 
in  American  centres. 

In  Toronto,  there  are  90  theaters.  There  has 
been  very  little  building  of  theaters  in  the  Pro- 
vince during  the  past  few  years,  mainly  because 
of  depressed  condition?,  resulting  from  the  war 
and  the  heavy  taxation  that  followed  it.  In  the 
Province,  outside  of  one  or  two  theaters,  building 
has  practically  been  at  a  standstill.  General  condi- 
tions in  the  smaller  towns  and,  in  fact,  even  some 
of  the  larger  centers  has  not  been  any  too  good 
for  some  time  and  the  fact  that  the  populaticm 
is  steadily  drifting  to  the  larger  towns  and  cities 
has  undoubtedly  had  its  effect. 

It  is  generally  conceded  that  because  of  the 
progressive  policy  of  Famous  Players  Canadian 
Corp.  houses,  that  the  larger  theaters  in  Ontario 
as  well  as  the  other  provinces,  are  as  modern 
and  as  up  to  date  as  anything  to  be  found  else- 
where in  America,  and  that  projection,  presentation 
and  music  are  kept  abreast  of  the  latest  develop- 
ments in  the  American  field.  This  was  distinctly 
not  the  case  six  or  seven  years  ago  and  in  many 
respects  the  circuit  with  its  policy  and  theaters  is 
in  advance  of  the  times,  mainly  due  to  the  lack 
of  population. 

Every  film  entering  Ontario  must  be  censored 
by  the  Ontario  Censor  Board.  This  board  sits 
in  Toronto  and  the  censor  fee  is  $3  per  reel.  There 
is  an  appeal  board  from  condemnations  and  the 
picture  is  then  reviewed  by  three  members  of  the 
censor  board  who  did  not  see  the  subject  on  its 
first  presentation.  There  are  four  members  of  the 
board  and  also  a  chairman.      The  appeal   fee  is 


The  censor  board  has  the  power  to  recall  the 
film  even  after  it  has  been  censored,  although  this 
privilege  is  not  very  often  used.  All  trailers  must 
be  censored  but  no  fee  is  charged. 

The  Ontario  censor  board  has  a  printed  formula 
of  material  which  is  objectionable  for  showing  in 
the  provinces.  Suggestive  scenes,  nudity,  ridicule 
of  the  law  or  its  officers,  blasphemy  and  undue 
display  of  foreign  flags  and  patriotism  head  the 
list. 

The  censor  board,  inspection  of  theaters,  and 
amusement  and  tax  collection  are  all  under  the 
direction  of  the  Provincial  Treasurer's  Department. 

The  principal  cities  are: 


Toronto   521,893 

Hamilton   114,151 

Ottawa    107,843 

London    60,959 

Windsor    38,591 

In  addition,  there  are  42  towns  with  population 
oyer  5,000.      There  are   141   towns  and  villages 


with  population  ranging  from  1,000  to  5,000. 
With  a  great  preponderance  of  the  population  of 
strictly  British  origin,  the  English  influence  on 
thought  and  general  mode  of  living  is  most  pro- 
nounced. American  producers  might  well  realize 
this. 

Ontario  is  twice  the  size  of  France,  the  area  be- 
ing 407,262  square  miles.  There  are  over  55,000,000 
acres  in  Ontario  suitable  to  agriculture,  of  which 
over  10,000,000  acres  are  now  under  cultivation. 

Quebec 

THERE  are  122  theaters  in  Quebec,  the  great- 
est share  of  these  is  in  Montreal,  the  largest 
city  in  Quebec  and  also  in  Canada.  There 
are   53   theaters   in  Montreal. 

Montreal  is  roughly  divided  into  two  parts  the 
English  section  to  the  west  of  Bleury  St.  and  in- 
cluding the  English  residential  section  of  West- 
mount.  East  of  Bleury  the  town  is  pronouncedly 
French  with  St.  Lawrence  Blvd.  as  more  or  less 
of  the  main  street,  which,  in  fact,  it  is  called 
locally.  Montreal  is  growing  very  rapidly  to  the 
north  and  circling  Mount  Royal,  the  mountain 
about  which  the  town  has  been  built  and  from 
which  it  originally  derived   its  name. 

In  Montreal,  practically  every  theater  operates 
on  the  double-bill  basis,  and,  therefore,  Montreal 
is  the  one  section  in  Canada  where  practically  all 
film  imported  can  be  consumed.  In  fact  one  or 
two  independent  companies  unable  to  operate  in 
other  sections  of  Canada,  do  so  successfully  in 
the  Province  of  Quebec.  The  first  runs,  of  course, 
are  exceptions  to  the  general  rule.  Furthermore, 
all  film  in  Quebec  Province,  or  practically  all, 
is  printed  with  French  and  English  titles  to  ac- 
commodate the  mixed  population  of  the  bigger 
cities  and  the  almost  total  French  population  of 
the  smaller  communities. 

Censorship  regulations  are  very  severe,  owing 
to  the  fact  that  a  large  percentage  of  the  popu- 
lation is  Roman  Catholic,  there  are  certain  sub- 
jects that  are  absolutely  taboo  in  pictures,  in 
order  to  meet  with  the  approval  of  the  Church 
and  its  regulations.  The  censorship  fee  is  $3 
a  reel  and  the  appeal  fee  $5  a  reel.  The  pro- 
vincial license  fee  is  $205.  The  censor  board 
has  the  right  to  recall  film  even  after  it  has 
been  approved  and  according  to  law  any  citizen 
can  demand  the  recalling  of  the  film. 

According  to  the  census  of  1921  the  population 
is  2,361,199.  of  which  it  is  estimated  that  80  per 
cent  speak  the  French  language  and  86  per  cent 
are  Roman  Catholics. 

Saskatchezv  an 

THERE  are  123  theaters  in  Saskatchewan.  Ap- 
proximately 30  are  handled  from  Calgary  and 
the  balance  from  Winnipeg.    It  is  impracticable 
for  exchanges  to  operate  in  Regina,  because  of  ex- 
pense.

"Variety's"  Box-Office  Figures 


T>OX-OFFICE  estimates  of  66  theaters  in  13  key  cities  are  contained  in  the  following 
13  compilation,  published  each  year  through  the  courtesy  of  Sime  Silverman,  editor  and 
publisher  of  "Variety."  A  new  departure  this  year  is  the  inclusion  of  stage  attrac- 
tions, in  cases  where  such  attractions  are  credited  with  an  appreciable  part  of  the  box- 
office  draw.  The  exception,  however,  is  a  regular  presentation  policy,  such  as  Publix, 
or  Fanchon  &  Marco  shows,  etc.,  which  are  not  included  in  the  billing,  unless  their 
effect  on  the  box-office  was  unusual. 

When  some  strong  counter  attraction  effected  grosses,  it  is  included  in  a  footnote, 
which  aids  in  gauging  the  particular  show's  draw  for  the  week.  No  mention  is  made 
of  holiday  showings,  notably  midnight  New  Year's  Eve  shows,  which  are  presented 
almost  universally,  and  send  week's  receipts  up  by  virtue  of  the  extra  show.  In  a  few 
cases  where  week's  attractions,  or  figures,  are  omitted,  no  listing  was  made  by  "Variety."

TECHNICAL- 
BUYING  GUIDE 


THE    GROWTH    AND  DE- 
VELOPMENT   of   every  in- 
dustry  depends,   naturally,  on 
its  technical  advancement.    The  mo- 
tion picture  business  is  no  exception. 

New  inventions,  apparatus  and 
equipment  are  constantly  emerging 
from  the  laboratory  of  some  creative 
mind.  One  device  may  mean  the 
saving  of  millions,  yet  another  may 
completely  revolutionize  the  trade. 

It  is  important  that  the  technical 
field  be  watched  closely.  A  review 
of  practically  every  new  device 
marketed  during  the  past  year  is 
recorded  on  the  following  pages. 
This  summary  was  prepared  by  the 
Society  of  Motion  Picture  Engineers. 

Other  data  includes  a  series  of  ar- 
ticles by  important  accessory  and 
equipment  manufacturers;  "What  to 
Buy — and  Where,"  a  buying  guide  of 
comprehensive  proportions  for  the 
entire  trade;  and  lists  of  laboratories 
and  raw  stock  dealers  throughout  the 
United  States. 


Industry's  Technical  Progress 
In  1927  —  Brief  Descriptions 
Of  Several  Hundred  New  Devices.

Technical  Progress  in  1927 


Report  of  the  Fall,  1927,  Convention 
of  the  Society  of  M.  P.  Engineers 

(Original  Sources  of  Information  Pertaining  to  Technical  Devices  Described  in  This 
Section  Are  Indicated  by  Reference  Marks,  Complete  List  of  Which  Appears  on  Page  862). 

PERHAPS  the  most  striking  development  since  the  last  meeting  of  the  Society  of 
Motion  Picture  Engineers,  (held  in  the  spring  of  1927),  one  which  has  affected  the 
entire  industry  and  which  promises  to  leave  a  permanent  impression,  is  the  wave  of 
economy  that  struck  motion  picture  studios  in  the  spring,  1927.  Appearing  first  in  the 
form  of  threatened  salary  cuts  (l),  which  met  with  furious  opposition  from  those  it 
affected,  it  rebounded  and  swept  over  the  managements  and  their  production  practices. 
Criticism  of  the  wasteful  production  methods  in  vogue  was  incited  and  various  methods 
of  reducing  costs  were  discussed.  At  a  meeting  of  the  Academy  of  M.  P.  Arts  and 
Sciences  a  comprehensive  agreement  was  reached,  involving  producers,  writers,  directors, 
actors,  and  all  other  studio  workers,  whereby  it  is  expected  that  a  noticeable  decrease 
in  studio  costs  will  be  evidenced.  (2) 

In  connection  with  the  problem  of  reducing  production  costs,  several  of  the  large 
studios  have  been  experimenting  with  incandescent  lighting  to  replace  arcs  for  general 
and  special  lighting  effects.  These  experiments  have  met  with  marked  success,  as  a 
result  of  which  incandescent  lamps  are  already  extensively  used.  (3) 

This  method  of  lighting,  comparatively  new  to  the  motion  picture  industry,  promises 
not  only  to  bring  about  a-  saving  in  operating  costs  of  from  25  to  75  per  cent  over  the 
old,  (3)  and  (4)  but  also,  when  used  with  panchromatic  film,  gives  better  color  rendi- 
tion and  eliminates  the  necessity  for  special  make-up. 

The  report  is  submitted  bv  Carl  E.  Egeler.  Chairman,  and  A.  S.  Howell,  Wm.  V. 
D.  Kelly,  J.  H.  Kurlander,  Rowland  Rogers,  J.  I.  Crabtree,  R.  P.  DeVault,  Carl  L.  Greg- 
ory and  Kenneth  Hickman.

The  Report 


Amateur  Cinematography 

A  new  amateur  motion  picture  camera  of  the 
upright  type,  called  the  Cine-Nizo  16.  with  one 
film  magazine  above  the  other,  may  be  either  driven 
by  its  motor,  or  cranked  by  hand.  The  cranking 
speed  can  be  16.  8,  or  1  picture  per  second,  de- 
pending upon  the  point  of  application  of  the 
crank.  (5) 

Directions  have  been  given  for  constructing  a 
trick  apparatus  for  the  amateur  to  use  in  making 
animated  drawings,  together  with  working  plans 
of  the  equipment,  which  includes  a  sturdy  table, 
a  support  for  the  sketches,  a  staging  for  the  cam- 
era, and  suitable  lighting  facilities.  (6) 

The  Eastman  Kodak  Co.  have  made  their  small 
cine  kodak  available  with  the  f  1.9  lens;  thus  it 
may  be  used  for  photography  under  adverse  light 
conditions.  (7) 

Cameras 

No  new  cameras  of  radically  different  design 
have  been  introduced  recently,  but  some  minor  im- 
provements have  been  noted  which  make  them 
easier  to  use,  and  applicable  to  more  adverse  con- 
ditions. 

A  device  of  the  finder  type  has  been  marketed 
which  is  said  to  correctly  ascertain  the  field  and 
angle  of  a  picture  to  be  taken,  indicating  what  focal 
length  lens  to  use,  the  exact  proportion  or  dimen- 
sions of  the  subject  to  be  photographed,  and  the 
photographic  relation  of  colors  and  tones  in  the 
subiect.  (8) 

The  mechanism  of  a  new  gyroscopic  camera  tri- 
pod may  be  controlled  with  one  hand.  It  is  fitted 
with  a  locking  arrangement  which  locks  or  re- 
leases instantaneously  by  a  half  turn  of  a  knob 
and  which  gives  absolute  rigidity.  (9) 

Announcement  has  been  made  of  another  im- 
provement which  may  be  adapted  to  any  camera; 
a  device  which   permits  altering  of   focal  length 


without  losing  any  frames  or  interrupting  the  con- 
tinuity of  exposure.  (10) 

A  new  speed  camera  capable  of  taking  2,600 
pictures  per  second  has  been  designed  to  study 
the  exact  character  of  flashes  occurring  in  generators 
and  other  electrical  machines.  (11)  A  new  porta- 
ble, spring  driven  camera  holds  200  ft.  of  film  and 
is  capable  of  exposing  120  to  ISO  feet  at  one 
winding.  (12) 

A  patent  has  been  issued  on  a  hand-held  mo- 
tion picture  camera  having  a  curved  gate.  (13) 

Colored  Motion  Pictures 

Much  patent  activity  is  still  evidenced  in  the 
field  of  colored  motion  picture  photography.  Some 
of  the  more  important  patents  are  briefly  described 
below. 

Color  record  component  images  for  additive  or 
subtractive  color  cinematography  may  be  produced 
by  selective  projection  printing  from  a  multi- 
color record  image  taken  on  film  provided  with  a 
screen  of  lenticular  or  linear  refracting  elements. 
(14)  Sensitive  material  for  making  these  multi- 
color records  by  rolling  the  film  under  the  in- 
fluence of  heat  with  an  engraved  cylinder  which 
covers  the  rear  surface  of  the  support  with  minute 
refracting  elements.  (15)  Film  thus  embossed 
with  microscopic  linear  refracting  elements  is  em- 
ployed in  conjunction  with  a  lens  filter  to  produce 
objects  in  natural  colors.  A  plate  or  cylinder 
whose  surface  is  engraved  with  linear  grooves 
numbering  12  to  35  per  millimeter  and  of  any 
desired  shape  of  cross  section,  has  been  patented. 
(16) 

A  patent  has  been  granted  upon  a  method  of 
color  photography  in  which  two  films  are  em- 
ployed having  colors  arranged  so  that  the  color 
of  the  action  in  front  of  the  background  should 
be  a  color  not  complementary  to  the  other  picture, 
that  is,  the  "action"  might  be  red,  and  the  back- 
ground blue.  (17)

Multicolor  pictures  visible  by  reflection  or  trans- 
mission may  be  obtained  by  forming  a  two  layer 
screen,  one  layer  having  elements  which  are  weak- 
ly colored  compared  with  those  in  the  second  layer. 
The  first  layer  may  be  a  celluloid  film,  and  the 
second  a  gelatin  coating  which  is  formed  with 
screen  elements  by  means  of  dyes  which  penetrate 
and  color  the  film.  (18) 

The  optical  density  gradations  in  the  high  light 
portions  of  dye-absorbent  photographic  film  are 
made  more  gradual  than  those  of  .the  half  tone 
portions  in  order  to  accurately  reproduce  the  de- 
tails of  the  scene.  (19)  The  densities  in  the 
shadow  portions  are  made  at  least  as  great  as 
those  in  the  half  tone  portions.  (20) 

A  new  camera  for  color  photography  has  four 
glass  prisms  of  small  angle  slope  to  90  degrees 
apexes  meeting  concentrically  at  the  axis  of  a 
large  objective  lens.  With  filters  over  the  prism 
sections,  four  color  separation  negatives  are  ob- 
tained, and  from  these,  positives,  which  may  be 
combined  by  projection  through  a  similar  apparatus. 
(21) 

A  description  has  been  given  of  the  two-color  ad- 
ditive processes  of  Pilny,  Wolff-Heide,  and  Friese- 
Greene.  The  Pilny  process  places  the  red  and 
green  filter  images  side  by  side  in  the  space  of 
one  frame  on  35  mm  film,  the  images  being  turned 
at  right  angles  to  their  usual  directions  by  a  prism 
in  the  camera.  Wolff-Heide  and  Friese-Greene  take 
the  two  color  records  in  alternation  on  the  film, 
the  negative  being  coated  with  an  orange  filter  oyer 
alternate  frames.  The  pictures  on  the  positive 
are  dyed  red  and  green  alternately  by  means  of 
a  protective  coating  of  varnish.  (22) 

Educational 

A  12  year  trial  of  educational  films  has  been 
made  by  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture. 
During  this  period,  over  300  subjects  were  pro- 
duced, of  which  230  are  now  in  circulation.  It 
has  been  concluded  from  this  experience  that  edu- 
cational films  are  extremely  effective,  and  that  the 
field  contains  enormous  possibilities  which  may 
exceed  those  of  the  use  of  film  for  entertainment. 
(23)  It  is  said  that  too  many  tests  of  the  edu- 
cational value  of  motion  pictures  have  been  judged 
by  the  student's  ability  to  pass  certain  examina- 
tions, and  it  is  claimed  that  this  is  not  a  true 
measure  of  the  worth  of  the  films — other  tests 
have  proven  their  value  in  broadening  experience 
and  stimulating  interest.  (24)  The  motion  pic- 
ture may  not  always  prove  to  be  the  most  effective 
way  of  presenting  ideas,  but  it  has  its  own  ap- 
plication which  cannot  be  duplicated  by  any  other 
means.  In  this  connection  it  has  been  recom- 
mended that  films  be  adapted  to,  but  preferably 
subordinated    to,    the    regular    school  curriculum. 

<25> 

The  educational  application  of  pictures  may  fail 
if  applied  by  enthusiasts  with  no  regard  to  the 
special  technic  necessary.  This  problem  has  been 
studied,  and  recommendations  given.  Accessi- 
bility and  applicability  of  pictures,  their  availa- 
bility at  all  times  when  needed,  and  a  satisfactory 
means  of  projection,  are  all  important  factors  which 
must  be  considered  carefully.  (26) 

Many  schools  will  have  their  first  taste  of 
educational  motion  pictures  this  fall,  and  much 
valuable  information  and  experience  will  undoubt- 
edly be  obtained  during  the  next  year.  Pictures 
will  be  used  in  the  Denver  grade  schools  in  the 
study  of  geography,  health  and  hygiene,  civics,  fine 
and  practical  arts,  and  general  sciences.  (27) 

A  cinematographic  program  of  education  is  being 
tentatively  introduced  into  many  English  schools, 
but  there  is  a  scarcity  of  adequate  film.  Sugges- 
tions have  been  made  relative  to  the  future  choice, 
preparation,  and  application  of  film  in  this  connec- 
tion. A  report  of  a  review  of  film  made  for  the 
League  of  Nations  Union,  and  used  for  a  series  of 
history  lessons  in  the  upper  classes  of  elementary 
schools,  favors  the  use  of  such  film.  (28)  Films 
relating  to  agriculture,  hygiene,  etc.,  have  been 
produced  in  France  and  successfully  applied  to 
teaching.  (29) 

Further  progress  is  noted  in  the  problem  of 
education  within  the  industry.  The  Motion  Picture 
Theater  Owners  of  the  Northwest  have  established 


a  projection  school  at  the  Dunwoody  Institute  at 
Minneapolis.  (30) 

Films  and  Emulsions 

Film  suitable  for  making  duplicate  negatives 
should  have  a  higher  resolving  power  than  ordinary 
negative  to  keep  graininess  at  a  minimum,  and 
should  have  a  lower  maximum  contrast  than  motion 
picture  positive  to  permit  complete  development. 
Such  a  film  has  been  produced.  (31)  Some  addi- 
tional experiments  have  been  made  to  determine  the 
resolving  power  of  photographic  material,  and  the 
results  obtained  show  a  large  variation,  depending 
upon  the  ratio,  in  a  parallel  line  test  object,  of 
width  of  the  line  to  the  space.  For  the  range 
investigated,  a  linear  relationship  exists  between 
the  resolving  power  and  the  logarithm  cf  this  ratio. 
(32) 

The  causes  of  graininess  in  motion  picture  film, 
and  practical  recommendations  for  reducing  this 
grainines-s  to  a  minimum,  were  discussed  in  a  paper 
presented  before  the  last  meeting  of  this  Society. 
Graininess  depends  upon  the  density  of  the  silver 
deposit,  the  nature  of  the  emulsion,  the  exposure, 
the  time  which  elapses  between  exposure  and  de- 
velopment, the  nature  of  the  developer,  the  degree 
of  development,  and  the  conditions  during  drying. 
(33)  An  analysis  has-  been  made  of  the  economic 
and  photographic  advantages  of  various  reversal 
processes,  and  it  is  remarked  that  the  reversal  pro- 
cess gives  finer  grained  images  than  the  ordinary 
printing  process.  (34) 

It  is  claimed  that  brightness-  in  color  and  perman- 
ence in  tone  result  from  treating  film,  thoroughly 
washed  after  fixation,  with  mordant  bath  of  potas- 
sium ferricyanide,  ammonium  bichromate,  and  sul- 
furic acid  in  a  water  solution,  and  then  applying 
a  basic  dye  to  the  mordanted  image.  (35) 

A  chromate  film  of  higher  sensitivity  may  be  pro- 
duced by  treating  unhardened  gelatin-coated  film 
with  a  special  bichromate-ferri-cyanide-bromide  solu- 
tion. Films  thus  treated  were  said  to  have  been 
printed  at  113  to  240  meters  per  hour.  However, 
attempt?  by  others  to  apply  the  method  have  been 
unsuccessful.  (36) 

Cellulose  materials  can  be  made  more  reactive 
toward  acetylation  or  other  esterification  by  pre- 
treatment  with  the  vapors  of  lower  fatty  acids  such 
as  acetic  or  formic  acids  or  mixtures  of  these  in  an 
admixture  of  air  or  other  indifferent  gases  or  vapors. 
(37) 

The  difference  between  the  reducing  power  of 
Metoquinine  and  that  of  the  mixture  of  Methyl  Para- 
menophenol  and  Hydroquinine  are  discussed  in  a 
reply  to  a  paper  of  Hubl  who  disagreed  with  the 
opinions  of  Lumiere  and  Seyewetz  on  this  subject. 
(38) 

Experiments  have  been  made  which  show  that 
the  solubilities  of  the  silver  halides  in  hypo  have 
been  stated  too  high  owing  to  the  adoption  of  con- 
ditions favoring  supersaturation.  It  is  concluded 
that  when  the  silver  content  of  a  ten  per  cent 
bath  exceeds  0.6  or  0.7  per  cent,  it  becomes  im- 
possible to  completely  remove  the  silver  salt  by 
washing.  (39) 

The  importance  of  halation  on  motion  picture 
film  has  been  discussed.  Halation  is  of  two  kinds, 
diffusion  halation,  due  to  the  diffusion  of  light  by  a 
turbid  emulsion,  and  reflection  halation  caused  by 
light  transmitted  through  the  emulsion  and  then 
reflected  by  one  or  the  other  surfaces-  of  the  film 
base.  Non-halation  film  solves  the  difficulty  by  giv- 
ing non-reflecting  surfaces  on  the  film.  (40) 

The  relation  between  the  specular  and  the  diffuse 
photographic  densities  were  discussed  in  a  recent 
paper.  A  formula  was  theoretically  derived  which 
correlates  the  so-called  specular  and  diffuse  density 
of  a  layer  of  light-scattering  medium,  such  as  a 
developed  photographic  film  or  plate.  (41) 

A  natent  has  been  issued  on  the  manufacture 
of  cellulose  acetates  or  other  esters  of  cellulose, 
by  a  dry  process.  The  cellulose  employed  a«  the 
starting  material  is  pre  treated  with  organic  car- 
boxvlic  acids  in  the  absence  of  solvents,  and  the 
reaction  is  performed  by  passing  over  or  through 
the  pretreated  materials  the  vapors  of  acetic  anhv- 
dride  or  other  esterifyine  agent  either  alone  or  in 
admixture  with  air.  (42) 

A  British  patent  was  granted  on  a  substitute 
for  celluloid  as  the  support  of  the  sensitive  layer.

produced  by  impregnating  paper  with  a  solution 
of  artificial  resin  in  alcohol.  (43)  A  French  patent 
was  issued  on  a  process  of  embodying  silk  threads 
in  the  edges  of  motion  picture  film  during  manu- 
facture. (44) 

Non-flam  film  must  be  a?  nearly  chemically  inert 
in  relation  to  its  sensitive  coating  as  is  nitrate  base ; 
its  coefficient  of  expansion  must  not  greatly  exceed 
that  of  the  nitrate  base,  and  it  must  have  uniform 
strength  and  retain  its  characteristics  over  a  period 
of  months.  (45)  The  inflammability  of  nitrate 
film  may  be  reduced  by  the  introduction  of  cellulose 
phosphate — cellulose  can  be  satisfactorily  nitrated 
by  mixtures  in  which  the  sulfuric  acid  ordinarily 
employed  is  replaced  by  phosphoric  acid.  (46) 

In  order  to  determine  the  strength  of  film  splice, 
a  series  of  tests  were  made  on  both  fresh  and  old 
film  with  a  number  of  different  cements.  Results 
of  the  tests  were  tabulated,  with  the  compositions 
of  the  various  cements  used.  (47) 

General 

Most  modern  movie  palaces  present  a  program 
which  is  a  combination  of  motion  pictures  and 
vaudeville,  or  specialties,  requiring  effects  of  "at- 
mosphere" similar  to  those  used  in  the  legitimate 
theater.  These  are  produced  by  so-called  effect 
lighting,  of  which  there  are  three  different  divisions. 
— the  projection  of  animated  scenic  effects,  of 
colored  effects,  and  of  simple  masks,  cutouts  and 
special  lantern  slides.  A  very  comprehensive  paper 
dealing  with  this  subject  was  presented  at  the 
last  meeting  of  the  Society,  in  which  a  desci  iption 
was  given  of  the  various  lighting  effects,  together 
with  the  methods  and  apparatus  used.  (48) 

An  organization  known  as  the  Academy  of  M. 
P.  Arts  and  Sciences  was  formed  in  Holly- 
wood, and  is  composed  of  directors,  writers,  pro- 
ducers, actors  and  technicians.  It  has  the  purpose 
of  securing  constructive  cooperation  among  its 
members,  and  the  advancement  of  the  industry 
through  the  exchange  of  ideas.  Scholarships  will 
be  given  to  assist  persons  working  on  improve- 
ments in  the  making  of  motion  pictures,  and  a 
building  is  to  be  erected  which  will  house  a  labora- 
tory and  a  theater.  (49) 

The  eighth  annual  convention  of  the  M.P.T.O. 
of  America,  held  in  Columbus,  Ohio,  was  character- 
ized by  a  spirit  of  harmony  and  cooperation.  Every 
effort  was  made  to  make  the  body  truly  representa- 
tive of  the  industry,  thus  widening  its  scope  and  in- 
creasing its  possibilities  of  service.  (50) 

A  speed  record  was  established  in  bringing  to 
New  York  pictures  of  Lindbergh's  reception  at 
Washington.  A  special  train,  equipped  with  a  roll- 
ing laboratory  in  which  the  film  was  developed, 
printed,  edited  en  route,  made  the  2'26  miles  from 
Washington  to  New  York  in  187  minutes.  The 
films  were  shown  in  a  leading  Broadway  theater 
ten  minutes  after  the  train  arrived  in  the  station. 
(51) 

A  new  process  has  been  patented  whereby  tragic 
and  comic,  or  any  two  pictures,  may  be  projected 
simultaneously,  the  spectators  selecting  for  viewing 
the  one  which  interests  them  most.  Two  different 
colored  images  are  produced  on  opposite  sides  of 
the  film,  which,  when  looked  at  throueh  suitable 
color  screens,  permits  viewing  of  either  image.  (52) 

A  large  steamship  line  now  offers  the  attraction 
of  motion  pictures  on  shipboard.  Portable  ap- 
paratus has  been  installed  and  the  pictures  are 
shown  either  on  deck  or  in  the  saloon.  The  booth 
may  be  thrown  overboard  in  case  of  a  serious 
fire.  (53) 

A  device  has  been  patented  in  Oermanv  which  is 
said  to  permit  the  taking  of  48,000'  exposures  per 
second.  Such  an  apparatus  will  have  a  large  field 
of  application  in  scientific  and  experimental  work 
(54) 

A  paper  presented  before  a  recent  meeting  of 
the_  Society  calls  attention  to  the  manv  ways  in 
which  the  National  Bureau  of  Standards  mav  be 
of  service  to  those  working  on  technical  motion 
picture  problems.  (55) 

The  handling  of  motion  picture  films  under  dif- 
ferent climatic  conditions,  the  transportation  diffi 
culties.   and   the  manipulations   and   processing  of 
film  under  arctic  and  tropical  conditions,  have  been 
discussed  in  a  recent  paper.    Detailed  description  is 


given  of  the  equipment  and   manner  of  working. 

(56) 

Holland  now  has  a  motion  picture  studio,  located 
at  Rotterdam,  said  to  be  fully  equipped  to  make 
large  productions.  (57)  Two  Zeppelin  hangars 
at  Staaken,  Germany,  have  been  made  over  into 
modern  studios.  (58) 

The  Eastman  Kodak  Co.  has  inaugurated  a  four- 
minute  reel  series  of  pictures  featuring  well  known 
actors  and  actresses.  New  subjects  are  to  be 
issued  monthly,  so  the  amateur  may  build  up  a 
library  of  those  he  desires.  (59) 

France  is  making  up  films  showing  the  history 
of  its  various  provinces  and  part  of  each  film  is 
colored.  Particular  attention  is  being  paid  to  the 
preservation  of  the  film.  (60) 

A  practical  digest  of  the  year's  work  in  photo- 
graphy is  given  in  an  extensive  resume  containing 
230  references,  (61)  and  another  historical  resume 
covers  the  development  of  the  technic  of  motion 
picture  projection.  (62) 

Illuminants  and  Lighting  Effects 

While  nothing  fundamentally  new  has  been 
introduced  recently  in  the  field  of  illuminants,  con- 
stant progress  is  being  made  toward  the  improve- 
ment of  various  types  of  light  sources,  and  in  the 
improvement  of  light  control  equipment. 

Recent  developments  in  high  wattage  incandes- 
cent lamps,  together  with  the  increasing  adoption 
of  panchromatic  film  is  leading  to  a  widespread  use 
of  incandescent  lamps  in  the  motion  picture  studio. 
(63)  Illuminating  engineers  from  the  east  have  been 
in  the  Los  Angeles  territory  during  the  past  sum- 
mer, cooperating  with  several  of  the  large  studios 
there  in  determining  the  correct  types  and  wattages 
of  lamps  to  be  used,  and  to  assist  in  the  selection 
and  design  of  the  proper  light  control  equipment. 
(63)  and  (64) 

In  a  paper  recently  presented  before  the  Society, 
the  requirements  of  studio  lighting  are  discussed, 
and  the  advantages  of  incandescent  lighting  given, 
w;th  a  cost  analysis  of  the  use  of  various  tvpes 
of  light  sources  in  conjunction  with  orthochromatic 
and  panchromatic  film.  Tt  is  concluded  that  the 
desirable  quality  of  the  light,  and  the  convenient 
operating  characteristics  of  incandescent  lamps  are 
large  factors  in  determining  whether  these  will 
be  used  to  replace  other  types  of  lieht  sources  in 
lighting  the  motion  picture  set.  (65) 

A  polygonal  floodlighting  mirror  is  described 
in  a  paper  presented  at  the  last  meeting  of  the 
Society.  The  disadvantages  are  pointed  out  of 
refocusing  the  regular  high  intensity  arc  search- 
light with  the  parabolic  mirror  to  get  a  wider 
beam  snread  and  it  is  demonstrated  that  the  use 
of  a  polvgonal  mirror  is  a  more  suitable  arrange- 
ment. The  method  of  computing  the  dimensions 
of  the  polygons  is  given,  as  well  as  a  photometric 
comparison  of  the  two  types  of  reflectors.  (66) 

A  new  light  source  for  Mazda  projector  lamps 
was  described  in  another  paper  given  at  the  last 
meeting  of  the  Society.  It  is  known  as  the  coiled- 
coil  filament  source,  and  consists  of  a  single  coil 
type  of  filament,  similar  to  that  commonly  used, 
coiled  again  to  give  a  much  higher  degree  of  con- 
centration. Its  chief  advantage  is  the  higher  screen 
illumination  obtainable  as  a  result  of  the  smaller 
source  size  especially  for  lamps  of  the  115-volt 
class.  It  is  at  present  applicable  only  to  the  lower 
wattage  lamps,  such  as  those  used  in  the  16-milli- 
meter film  projector  field.  (67) 

A  high  intensity  reflector  arc  lamp  was  re- 
cently demonstrated  at  Chicago.  The  practical 
problems  involved  in  the  construction  of  this 
equipment  are  the  design  of  mechanical  arrange- 
ments for  the  proper  feeding  of  the  carbons,  regular 
burning  of  the  crater,  mirror  location,  and  a  re- 
duction of  the  heat  at  the  aperture.  The  problem 
of  cooling  is  very  important :  this  particular  device 
accomplishes  it  by  means  of  a  motor  driven  fan 
which  forces  a  stream  of  cool  air  past  the  film. 
To  protect  the  glass  mirror,  a  disc  of  beat  resisting 
glass  is  placed  between  it  and  the  arc.  and  another 
air  line  from  the  fan  directs  a  blast  between  this 
heat  resisting  glass  and  the  mirror.  (68)  Another 
reflector  arc  has  been  placed  on  the  market.  (691 
Tt  is  suggested  that  the  Coolidge  tube  has  possi- 
bilities as  a  projection  light  source.      To  employ 


860 


it,  the  film  might  be  backed  with  a  mineral  coat- 
ing, or  a  suitable  mineral  surface  could  be  arranged 
behind  the  gate  to  receive  the  bombardment  of  the 
electron  stream.  (70) 

Laboratory  Methods  and  Equipment 

It  is  necessary  that  motion  picture  film  be 
cleaned  at  various  stages  in  its  progress  from 
the  laboratory  to  the  theater,  and  also  after  its 
use.  A  mixture  of  ammonia,  water  and  alcohol 
is  satisfactory  for  cleaning  the  base  side  of  the 
negative  or  positive  film.  To  remove  dust  and 
ringer  markings  from  negatives  before  printing, 
wiping  with  silk  plush  moistened  with  pure  carbon 
tetrachloride  is  recommended.  The  flexibility  may 
be  restored  by  passing  it  through  a  bath  contain- 
ing a  mixture  of  water  and  alcohol.  (71) 

A  pneumatic  film  squeegee  has  been  developed 
for  use  in  the  laboratory  to  remove  excess  moisture 
after  washing,  before  drying.  A  25  per  cent  sav- 
ing of  time  is  effected  through  the  use  of  the  air 
squeegee  and  subsequent  polishing  of  the  film  is 
unnecessary.  (72) 

A  method  of  impregnating  wood  with  paraffin 
has  greatly  increased  the  value  of  wooden  tanks  for 
photographic  solutions.  Spruce,  so  treated,  was 
found  to  withstand  the  action  of  acid  and  alkaline 
solutions  with  a  minimum  of  absorption  and  con- 
sequent swelling.  (73) 

Trioxmethylene  in  the  presence  of  sodium  sulfite 
can  be  used  tp  replace  the  alkali  in  the  preparation 
of  various  phenolic  developers.  A  fixing  bath  is 
recommended  for  photographic  papers  which  em- 
ploys frioxymethylene  instead  of  alum  as  the  hard- 
ening constituent.  This  is  more  stable  than  an 
acid-alum  bath.  (74) 

Lenses 

An  anastigmat  lens  said  to  be  three  times  as 
fast  as  the  F  2.7  has  been  placed  on  the  market. 
It  is  claimed  to  give  improved  perspective,  the 
finest  delineation  and  modeling,  to  be  free  from 
focal  differences  with  the  various  stops,  and  to 
have  complete  correction  for  all  colors  of  the  spec- 
trum. (75) 

A  patent  has  been  granted  on  a  projection  lens 
having  a  short  back  focus,  permitting  the  lens 
to  be  placed  close  to  the  gate.  The  focal  length 
of  the  front  component  is  equal  to  the  sum  of  the 
focal  length  of  the  whole  lens,  plus  twice  the  back 
focal  length.  The  components  are  separated  by  the 
focal  length  of  the  entire  lens,  which  is  the  same  as 
the  focal  length  of  the  rear  compartment.  (76) 

A  seven-piece  objective  lens  working  at  F  1 
has  been  patented.  Three  of  its  seven  elements  are 
cemented  together.  (77) 

New  Applications 

X-ray  motion  pictures  have  been  successfully 
made  in  England.  The  motion  picture  section  of 
the  Trade  Commission  in  Paris  reports  that  mo- 
tion pictures  of  the  hand,  foot,  and  knees,  in  mo 
tion,  clearly  showing  bone  movements,  and  of  the 
chest  showing  the  beating  of  the  heart  and  move- 
ment of  the  ribs  in  the  process  of  breathing,  were 
displayed  before  an  educational  body  at  the  In- 
ternational Studio  at  Elstree,  England.  (78) 

An  apparatus  for  taking  motion  pictures  of  sur- 
gical operations  has  been  patented  which  fulfills  the 
conditions  for  asepsis.  The  camera  is  suspended 
from  the  ceiling  and  is  controlled  by  motors  out- 
side of  the  room;  it  takes  a  view  that  portrays  the 
details,  and  is  said  not  ip  require  lighting  harmful 
to  the  patient  or  operators.  (79) 

Slow  motion  botanical  studies  may  be  made  with 
a  motion  picture  camera  having  its  exposure 
mechanism  actuated  by  a  clockwork  motor,  thus 
making  single  exposures  at  any  predetermined  in- 
tervals' of  a  half  minute  to  two  hours.  (80). 

The  motion  picture  camera  has  been  used  to 
determine  the  melting  point  and  record  the  lique- 
faction of  graphite  in  the  electric  furnace.  (81). 

Latest  progress  in  the  field  of  micro-cinematog- 
raphy is  covered  in  a  recent  description  of  various 
devices  used  in  this  work.  A  camera  having  an 
auxiliary  shutter  between  the  lamp  and  the  micro- 
scope is  focused  from  the  rear  through  the  film. 
(82). 

A  battery  of  four  single  exposure  motion  picture 
cameras   were   installed    in    a  county   court  house 


to  make  photographic  records.  The  cameras  were 
suspended  vertically  over  the  records  to  be  photo- 
graphed, and  exposures  were  made  by  means  of 
foot  pedals — 40,000  pages  could  be  copied  per 
day.  (83).  The  French  have  also  made  use  of 
films  in  court.  The  details  of  a  daring  gem  rob- 
bery were  reconstructed  and  filmed  and  the  picture 
was  shown  for  the  benefit  of  the  court  room  at 
the  trial.  This  is  said  to  be  the  first  time  that 
motion  pictures  have  been  used  in  court  for  the 
application  of   justice.  (84). 

Physiology 

Some  further  experiments  have  been  made  to 
determine  the  effect  of  the  motion  picture  upon  the 
human  eye.  It  has  been  reported  that  more  eye 
fatigue  was  caused  by  45  minutes  reading  than  by 
viewing  black  and  white  motion  pictures  for  a 
period  of  one  and  a  half  hours.  In  fact,  after  a 
group  had  been  reading  for  45  minutes  and  showed 
a  loss  in  acuity  of  vision,  they  immediately  viewed 
a  picture  for  an  hour  and  a  half  and  demonstrated 
a  gain  in  acuity.  Therefore,  it  is  recommended 
that  if  your  brain  and  eyes  are  tired,  "go  to  the 
movies."  These  experiments  indicated  in  some 
instances  a  greater  loss  in  acuity  after  viewing 
black  and  white  pictures  than  after  viewing  col- 
ored  pictures.  (85). 

Projectors 

A  new  low  priced  professional  projector  has 
been  placed  on  the  market  in  which  is  embodied 
everything  in  efficiency  and  construction  that  is- 
found  in  more  expensive  types.  Designed  for  a 
theater  or  hall  of  1,000  seats  or  less,  it  is  equipped 
with  a  Mazda  lamp  and  has  been  used  to  project 
a  16-foot  picture  at  distances  up  to  135  ft.  (86). 

A  new  gate  mechanism  has  been  developed  for 
one  of  the  leading  makes  of  projectors  now  on  the 
market.  The  chief  feature  of  this  new  device  is 
the  fact  that  it  is  less  affected  by  the  high  aperture 
temperatures  of  mirror  and  high  intensity  arc  light 
sources.  The  mechanism  consists  of  three  heavy 
plates,  a  heavy  grid  iron  plate  facing  the  light 
source,  another  mounted  upon  and  back  of  it  which 
carries  the  gate  latch,  upper  film  shield  and  idler 
roller,  and  a  steel  plate  which  carries  the  tension 
shoes  and  springs.  (87) 

A  patent  has  been  granted  on  a  motion  picture 
projector  having  an  adjustable  optical  system 
adapting  it  for  use  with  either  ordinary  films  or 
films  having  separated  color  component  images  re- 
quiring separate  optical  paths.  (88).  Another 
patent  covers  a  motion  picture  projector  which  has 
two  motion  heads  alternately  illuminated  by  one 
light  source.  It  is  claimed  that  substantially  the 
whole  of  the  light  is  utilized  during  its  transfer- 
ence from  one  head  to  the  other.  (89). 

An  improved  cinematograph  projector  has  been 
described  in  which  an  epicyclic  gear  drives  the 
maltese  cross  and  intermittent  sprocket,  thus  in- 
creasing the  operating  speed.  (90). 

A  dissolving  stereopticon  using  the  reflector  arc 
principle  consists  of  an  8-inch  parabolic  mirror 
which  intercepts  the  light  from  the  usual  horizon- 
tal carbon,  directing  it  through  two  5 -inch  _  diam- 
eter condensers, '  giving  two  beams  for  a  side-by- 
side  slide  projection.  (91). 

A  careful  study  has  been  made  of  the  factors 
relating  to  the  dimensions  of  sprockets  for  motion 
picture  apparatus  in  view  of  their  standardization, 
and  the  correct  sprocket  diameters  for  films  of 
various  shrinkages  were  determined.  (92). 

Statistics 

Approximately  $1,500,000,000  is  invested  in  the 
motion  picture  industry,  $1,250,000,000  of  which 
is  invested  in  theaters,  the  balance  in  studios 
and  distributing  offices.  (93). 

Imports  and  exports  of  film  of  the  United  States, 
Germany,  England  and  France,  have  been  given 
in  a  summary  which  covers  the  last  three  ytars. 

(94)  .  A  report  of  the  U.  S.  Dep't  of  Commerce 
shows   a   decrease   in    exports   for  the   year  1926. 

(95)  .  The  export  of  unexposed  film  from  Ccr- 
many  to  the  United  States  decreased  from  26.062,- 
800  kilograms  In  1925,  to  15.692.300  kilograms  in 
1926.  F.xport  of  other  films  increased  from 
58.500  kilograms  to  100,000.  (96). 

The  South  American  market  strongly  favors 
United   States  films,   ninety  per  cent  of   the  pic- 


861 


tures  shown  there  being  made  in  the  United  Stales. 
(97). 

A  report  has  been  made  which  gives  the  in- 
dustry's income  for  1925.  In  this  year,  5,376 
amusement  corporations  and  314  motion  picture 
producers  filed  returns  with  the  Government  show- 
ing their  assets  in  cash,  accounts  receivable,  notes 
receivable,  inventory,  fixed  property  and  invest 
merits,  and  their  liabilities  in  accounts  payable, 
notes  payable,  bonded  debt,  and  mortgages.  (98). 

A  survey  has  been  made  of  the  producting  or- 
ganizations and  of  the  distribution  and  exhibition 
conditions  in  Europe  and  England.  (99).  It  has 
been  reported  to  the  Dep't  of  Commerce  that  in 
metropolitan  France  3,995  motion  picture  thea- 
ters are  registered,  180  of  which  are  in  Paris. 
Twenty-four  of  the  Parisian  theaters  have  more 
than  1500  seats.  (100).  There  are  approximately 
9,500  theaters  in  Central  Europe,  Spain  and  Italy. 
Germany,  the  largest  motion  picture  market  in 
Europe,  had  at  the  beginning  of  1926,  3,878  thea- 
ters. In  Germany.  206  producers  made  246  pic- 
tures that  year.  (101).  Belgium  has,  according 
to  another  survey,  1,000  theaters,  100  of  which 
are  in   Brussels.  (102). 

Australia  has  one  picture  house  for  each  5,000 
of  population.  (103)  while  900,000,000  people  in 
the  Orient  are  served  by  1,600  theaters.  Japanese 
producers  make  approximately  700  features  yearly. 
(104). 

Stereoscopic  Motion  Pictures 

A  large  producing  organization  has  acquired  the 
rights  to  a  process  of  making  third  dimension  pic- 
tures, developed  by  two  Swiss  inventors.  No  aux- 
iliary apparatus  is  required  to  project  films  made 
by  this  process;  standard  theater  projectors  are 
used,  and  the  pictures  are  viewed  with  the  un- 
aided eye.  (105).  A  film  has  been  completed 
which  is  said  to  have  met  all  expectations.  (106). 

A  patent  has  been  issued  upon  another  means  of 
stereoscopic  projection  which  employs  two  screens, 
placed  at  opposite  ends  of  a  hall.  The  spectators 
can  see  directly  only  one  screen  and  are  provided 
with  a  viewing  means  which  enables  them  to  reg- 
ister the  two  sets  of   images.  (107). 

It  is  said  that  a  stereoscopic  illusion  is  attained 
through  the  use  of  the  so-called  magnascope.  An- 
other feature  of  this  device  is  that  a  picture  30x49 
ft.  in  size  may  be  projected.  (108). 

A  motion  picture  screen  composed  of  small  glass 
particles  has  been  installed  in  a  New  York  theater 
and  is  said  to  give  an  illusion  of  depth  with  ordi- 
nary projection.  (109). 

In  an  amusement  park  in  Berlin,  still  and  mo- 
tion pictures  have  been  projected  on  a  curtain  of 
spray  from  jets  of  water,  giving  an  illusion  of  re- 
lief. (110). 

Talking  Motion  Pictures 

A  new  device  for  projecting  talking  pictures 
is  called  the  Filmophone.  A  selenium  cell  is  used 
to  convert  the  light  to  electrical  energy;  the  film 
can  register  oscillations  of  a  frequency  of  10,000. 
(111). 

The  Photophone  is  to  be  sold  direct  to  theaters. 
Concentration  of  effort  will  be  directed  upon  music 
scores  for  accompanying  films.  Synchronized  scores

will  be  made  for  features  from  all  companies  who 
will  cooperate  to  the  extent  of  furnishing  a  print 
for  screening.  Thus,  even  the  smallest  of  thea 
ters  may  have  excellent  musical  entertainment 
with  their  pictures.  (112). 

Two  other  sound  synchronization  devices  about 
to  be  made  available  are  the  Vocafilm,  (113)  and 
the  Orchestraphone.  The  Orchestraphone  *  is  de- 
signed primarily  for  small  theaters,  and  was  re- 
cently given  a  trial  in  a  Chicago  theater.  (114). 

The  effect  of  the  spreading  of  the  image  due 
to  irradiation  on  the  sound  record  in  the  case  of 
talking  films  has  been  reported.  (115). 

In  Vitaphone  productions,  the  synchronization 
of  sound  reporting  and  picture  taking  is  con- 
stantly checked  by  a  stroboscopic  apparatus  em- 
ploying a  sector  disc  and  a  Neon  tube.  A  loud 
speaker  is  also  used  in  the  recording  room  to  check 
the  quality  of  electrical  "sound"  fluctuations.  (116). 

Trick  Cinematography 

An  interesting  paper  was  presented  before  the 
last  meeting  of  the  Society  describing  various 
methods  of  obtaining  illusions  in  cinematography. 
The  different  technical,  artistic,  and  dramatic  prob- 
lems involved  in  the  production  of  four  different 
effects  or  scenes  were  discussed,  with  a  descrip- 
tion of  the  methods  used.  (117).  In  another  pa 
per  presented  at  this  meeting  a  resume  was  given 
of  various  patents  which  had  been  issued  on 
methods  of  trick  photography.  (118). 

Fifteen  methods  of  trick  photography  have  been 
described  to  illustrate  how  the  cinematographer 
analyzes  motions  in  two  or  more  directions.  Re- 
verse camera,  glass  work,  double  exposure,  one 
picture  turn,  decreasing  the  taking  speed,  slow 
motion  photography,  stop  camera  and  substitute, 
fade  in  and  fade  out,  double  printing,  double  ex- 
posure by  use  of  mirrors,  projection  printing,  and 
the  use  of  mechanical  devices,  are  among  the 
methods  described.  (119). 

A  method  of  trick  photography  known  as  the 
Schuefftan  combination  process  has  been  patented. 
A  mirror  having  the  silver  backing  removed  lo- 
cally is  placed  in  the  field  of  the  camera  and  part 
of  the  scene  painted  in  miniature  is  taken  by  re- 
flection in  the  mirror.  The  images  are  made  to 
blend  into  each  other  by  vignetting  the  clear  open- 
ing in  the  mirror.  (120).  (121),  and  (122).  This 
process  has  proved  itself  useful  for  many  kinds 
of  motion  picture  work,  including  color  cinema- 
tography. (123).  Further  applications  of  the  process 
have  been  enumerated.  The  relative  sizes  of  ob- 
jects can  be  changed  by  placing  them  at  different 
distances.  A  collecting  lens  is  used  on  the  other 
side  of  the  mirror  to  bring  both  objects  into  focus 
in  the  camera,  and  with  a  combination  of  several 
mirrors,  the  size  of  the  vignetted  exposure  aper- 
ture hole  may  be  varied  during  the  action.  (124). 

Another  new  process  has  been  described  in  which 
action  taken  on  one  location  may  be  superimposed 
with  complete  naturalness  on  scenes  which  were 
made  on  another  location.  (125). 

Two  other  recent  patents  cover  processes  in 
which  pictures  are  taken  through  the  use  of  direct 
masks  and  masked  reflectors  in  the  field  of  view 
(126),  and  a  method  in  which  silhouettes  are 
thrown  on  a  transparent  background.  (127).

Amateur  Motion  Pictures 

By  CARL  LOUIS  GREGORY,  F.R.P.S. 

fyiTHIN  the  last  four  years  the  making  of  motion  pictures  for  and  by  the  amateur 
"  to  show  in  his  own  home  has  reached  a  place  of  very  considerable  importance  in 
the  industry.  Ever  since  the  inception  of  motion  pictures,  inventors  have  worked  upon 
the  problem  of  producing  a  camera  for  amateur  use  which  would  have  the  requisite 
simplicity,  and  at  the  same  time,  would  be  sufficiently  inexpensive  to  come  within  the 
purse  limits  of  the  average  layman.  Many  such  outfits  designed  for  the  amateur  have 
been  placed  on  the  market  in  years  gone  by,  but  all  of  them  failed  because  none  of  them 
were  of  sufficient  simplicity  to  attain  widespread  popularity.  Many  different  methods 
were  used  to  reduce  the  cost  of  making  home  movies.  Several  of  the  first  of  these  were 
quite  similar  to  those  in  popular  use  today  as  they  use  a  narrow  ribbon  of  film. 


At  that  time  the  public  had  not  become  so  uni- 
versally accustomed  to  the  use  of  hand  cameras, 
nor  was  the  public  mechanically  minded,  as  it  has 
since  become  through  the  advent  of  the  automobile 
and  a  multitude  of  other  mechanical  contrivances. 

Thomas  A.  Edison  tried  to  popularize  motion 
pictures  in  the  home  by  means  of  a  number  of 
different  subjects  reduced  to  miniature  size  upon 
standard  size  films.  While  the  results  obtained  by 
this  method  were  quite  satisfactory,  the  films  never 
became  popular  and  the  project  was  eventually 
abandoned  by  Mr.  Edison.  Other  inventors  used 
wide  bands  of  film  discs  of  cut  film  and  even  glass 
plates  upon  which  the  small  images  were  arranged 
in  sequence  in  a  spiral  or  staggered  fashion. 
These  devices,  too,  have  also  gone  to  limbo  of  for- 
gotten things. 

George  Eastman  of  the  Eastman  Kodak  Co.  then 
became  interested  in  the  production  of  a  motion 
picture  camera  and  projector  for  amateur  use.  At 
the  same  time,  dozens  of  other  inventors  were 
thinking  along  the  same  lines,  but  with  far  less 
equipment  at  their  disposal  and  without  the  finan- 
cial backing  enjoyed  by  Mr.  Eastman.  Extensive 
experiments  were  carried  on  in  the  Construction 
Department  and  the  Research  Laboratory  of  the 
Eastman  Company  to  perfect  a  camera  which  could 
be  successfully  used  by  the  amateur.  One  of  the 
first  steps  taken  by  the  Eastman  Kodak  Company 
was  to  standardize  the  size  of  film  to  be  used  in 
amateur  cameras. 

Realizing  that  the  success  of  amateur  cinema- 
tography depended  upon  the  standardization  of  the 
film  and  inducing  all  manufacturers,  who  would  in 
the  future  build  amateur  cameras,  to  adopt  this 
standard,  Mr.  Eastman  invited  all  the  inventors 
then  at  work  upon  small  size  cameras  to  adopt  the 
16  mm.  standard.  He  knew  that  if  each  inventor 
made  a  different  size  of  film  that  a  chaotic  state 
would  arise  in  the  business  which  would  probably 
cause  its  death  within  a  short  time. 

Agreeable  with  Mr.  Eastman's  idea  of  standard- 
ization of  film  for  amateur  cameras,  A.  S.  Howell, 
Chief  Engineer  of  the  Bell  and  Howell  Co.,  for 
many  years  foremost  among  manufacturers  of  mo- 
tion picture  equipment,  and  A.  F.  Victor  of  the  Vic- 
tor Animatograph  Co.,  consented  to  adopt  the  stand- 
ard advocated  by  Mr.  Eastman.  Even  before  the 
Eastman  Company  placed  their  own  product  upon 
the  market,  the  film  camera  was  introduced  to  the 
public,  followed  shortly  by  the  Eastman  cameras 
and  projectors  so  that  now,  within  a  period  of 
three  short  years,  a  number  of  competing  companies 
are  working  to  capacity  to  supply  the  ever  increas- 
ing craze  for  home  movies. 

While  this  development  was  going  on  in  Amer- 
ica, the  Pathe  Co.  in  France  were  producing  a 
miniature  camera  using  a  still  smaller  film,  only 
nine  mm.  in  width,  which  also  met  with  great  popu- 
larity. This  nine  mm.  camera  and  projector,  under 
the  trade  name  of  Pathex,  has  also  been  successful 
in  this  country.  The  smaller  size  film  may  be 
said  to  have  a  field  of  its  own  not  covered  by  the 
larged  sized  16  mm.  product.  The  time  is  yet  too 
early  to  determine  whether  both  the  16  mm.  and 
the  nine  mm.  sizes  of  amateur  film  can  sur- 
vive. The  facts  that  instruments  of  the  16  mm. 
size  far  exceed  in  number  those  of  all  other  sub- 
standard sizes  put  together,  seem  to  indicate  that 
the  16  mm.  size  is  an  established  standard. 


A  compilation  of  the  records  furnished  by  the 
various  manufacturers  indicate  that  at  the  time  of 
publication  of  this  article  there  are  more  than  100,- 
000  cameras  and  projectors  in  the  United  States 
for  the  use  of  sub-standard  film.  "Sub-standard" 
is  a  word  applied  to  all  different  sizes  of  film 
which  are  smaller  than  the  standard  35  mm.  film 
which  is  used  in  all  theatrical  projection  machines 
throughout  the  world. 

In  spite  of  the  very  apparent  advantages  of  a 
single  standard  for  miniature  film,  a  number  of 
other  sizes  beside  the  16  mm.  are  being  sold  or 
preparation  made  for  their  sale  to  compete  with 
the  present  16  mm.  size.  At  the  present  time, 
only  the  16  mm.  and  the  nine  mm.  sizes  of  film 
have  met  with  any  appreciable  sale.  There  are 
many  indications  that  the  use  of  home  projection 
machines  may  parallel  in  popularity  the  phono- 
graph, the  radio  and  the  automobile. 

While  the  inventors  of  the  sub-standard  projec- 
tors expected  to  find  their  market  in  the  homes  of 
the  American  public,  it  has  developed  that  these 
small  projectors  have  a  great  industrial  and  educa- 
tional use  as  well.  All  of  the  sub-standard  films 
are  of  the  non-inflammable  variety,  which  removes 
the  fire  underwriters'  and  insurance  restrictions 
which  so  universally  apply  to  the  highly  inflamma- 
ble film  used  for  theatrical  purposes.  These  re- 
strictions on  inflammable  film  made  it  difficult  or 
commercially  impossible  to  make  use  of  standard 
theatrical  film  for  demonstrations  by  salesmen  and 
for  use  in  small  classrooms.  Also,  the  far  greater 
weight  and  bulk  of  machines  and  films  of  theatrical 
size  was  a  tremendous  barrier  to  their  use,  to  say 
nothing  of  their  much  higher  cost. 

Large  corporations  immediately  adopted  the  small 
sized  projectors  and  films  for  the  use  of  their  sales- 
men, while  thousands  of  advocates  for  the  visual 
instruction  of  children  in  the  public  schools  by 
means  of  motion  pictures  suddenly  found  a  method 
of   materializing   their  dreams. 

With  a  view  to  the  realization  of  this  vision, 
Mr.  Eastman  appropriated  over  a  quarter  of  a 
million  dollars  for  the  production  of  teaching  films 
to  be  used  in  grade  schools.  Simultaneously  with 
the  publication  of  this  annual,  thirty  of  these  teach- 
ing films  will  be  released  for  extensive  experimen- 
tation as  to  their  value  for  instructional  purposes 
in  ten  representative  localities  in  widely  separated 
portions  of  the  country. 

By  means  of  a  machine  known  as  an  optical 
reduction  printer,  films  of  standard  theatrical  size 
may  be  reduced  to  any  sub-standard  size  for  which 
the  machine  is  adopted.  Practically  all  sub-stand- 
ard films  commercially  produced  are  made  from 
standard  theatrical  size  negatives  by  this  reduc- 
tion process.  A  great  impetus  to  the  interest  in 
amateur  movies  was  instigated  a  little  over  a  year 
ago  by  Hiram  Percy  Maxim,  who  formed  the  Ama- 
teau  Cinerua  League,  Inc.,  an  association  for 
every  one  interested  in  amateur  motion  picture 
production.  The  official  organ  of  the  league  is  the 
Amateur  Movie  Magazine,  published  at  105  W. 
40th  Street,  New  York  City.  Inspired  by  the 
example  of  the  Amateur  Cinema  League,  more  than 
twenty-five  clubs  interested  in  the  production  of 
amateur  movies  have  been  formed  throughout  the 
country.  Many  of  these  have  already  produced 
creditable  photoplays.

Equipment  Field  Shows  Great  Strides 


RAPID  development  marked  progress  of  the  theater  equipment  field  during  1927. 
Improvements  in  design  and  construction  and  practically  every  item  of  equipment, 
from  a  standpoint  of  efficiency  and  economy,  made  the  year  notable. 

In  the  distribution  field,  the  welding  of  a  nationwide  chain  of  supply  houses  under 
the  banner  of  National  Theater  Supply  Co.,  probably  was  the  outstanding  development. 
With  its  expansion,  the  company  undertook  its  One  Contract  Plan,  under  which  it  sup- 
plies every  item  of  equipment  needed  by  a  theater  regardless  of  size. 

Manufacturers  of  equipment  made  notable  strides  during  1927.  The  year  1928, 
they  agree,  should  be  the  most  important  in  the  history  of  the  equipment  field.  Opinions 
of  leaders  of  the  field,  in  the  accompanying  series  of  articles,  give  a  brief  outline  of  their 
firms'  activities  during  the  last  year,  together  with  forecasts  of  developments  expected  in 
1928. 


NEW  MODEL  DEBRIE,  CHIEF  1927 

DEVELOPMENT  FOR 

WILLOUGHBYS 

By    E.  STURZ 
Sales    Manager    of  Willoughbys 

OUTSTANDING    feature   of    the    activities  in 
1927  in  our  professional  motion  picture  busi- 
ness was  the  new  apparatus  put  on  the  mar- 
ket by  Andre  Debrie  of  France. 

We  particularly  refer  to  the  Model  L  Debrie 
camera.  The  Debrie  camera  is  still  the  lightest 
weight  and  most  compact  of  the  400  ft.  profes- 
sional outfit?  now  obtainable  and  with  the  new 
added  features  on  the  Model  L  can  be  classed  with 
any  of  the  production  cameras  made. 

The  entirely  new  features  put  on  this  camera 
are  the  full  sized  ground  glass  focusing  plate, 
pilot  register  pins,  releasing  pressure  plate  and 
hand  dissolve.  The  ground  glass  device  is  brought 
into  position  at  the  aperture  by  moving  the  lever 
at  top  of  camera.  This  enables  the  operator, 
without  moving  the  camera,  lens  or  film,  to  focus 
directly  through  the  camera  on  a  full  size  ground 
glass,  magnified  nine  times.  This  operation  only 
takes  about  a  second  to  bring  the  ground  glass 
into  position  and  a  second  to  bring  it  out. 

The  pilot  register  pins  are  constructed  to  insure 
absolute  steadiness,  with  no  possibility  of  the 
film  moving  either  sideways  or  up  and  down. 
This  steadiness  has  been  demonstrated  on  doubly 
exposed  titles  where  no  play  has  been  detected. 

The  releasing  pressure  plate  insures  the  film 
against  scratches  which  ordinarily  occur  at  the 
aperture  plate.  The  camera  is  fitted  with  the  auto- 
matic 4l/2  ft.  dissolving  shutter  and  in  addition 
a  new  hand  dissolve  makes  it  possible  for  the 
operator  to  increase  or  decrease  the  dissolve.  Even 
when  the  shutter  is  reduced  in  its  opening,  the 
automatic   dissolve   functions   in   4J4  feet. 

The  camera  is  equipped  also  with  a  new  style 
counter  on  the  order  of  the  Veeder,  giving  a 
register  of  the  single  pictures,  the  turns  and  the 
film  footage.  It  has  an  opening  on  the  back 
which  permits-  the  slipping  on  in  a  few  seconds, 
of  an  electric  motor.  The  front  is  equipped  with 
standard  bayonet  mount,  enabling  the  operator 
to  change  his  lenses  quickly  and  lenses  from  35 
millimeters  to  17  inch  focus  can  be  easily  ac- 
commodated. 

Another  article  that  the  Debrie  people  have  put 
out  this  past  year,  is  the  Visographe,  a  device 
which  enables  the  cameraman  to  see  at  a  glance 
the  field  of  view  any  given  focal  length  lens  is 
going  to  take  in  or  it  may  be  used  to  let  him 
know  what  lens  to  use  to  take  in  a  certain 
field  of  view. 


NEW  ROXY  CHAIR  FEATURED 

YEAR  OUTPUT  OF  HEYWOOD- 

WAKEFIELD  CO. 

By  RAYMOND  S.  REED 
Advertising  Manager,  Heywood-Wakefield  Co. 

DURING  the  past  year  Heywood-Wakefield  Co. 
has  developed  several  distinctively  new  types 
—  of  theater  chairs,  among  them  being  the 
Roxy  lodge  chair  with  the  deepest  spring  con- 
struction in  the  back  and  seat  yet  made,  the  Roxy 
orchestra  chair  with  a  round  type  of  seat  which 
permits  easier  egress  and  ingress,  and  the  two 
new  styles  which  will  be  used  in  all  Publix  houses 
built  this  year. 

These  new  chairs  have  an  all  steel  bottom  board 
on  the  seat  which  eliminates  the  present  objections 
to  veneer  and  a  similar  steel  panel  back.  The 
Roxy  order  is  the  record  for  a  single  house  inas- 
much as  it  seats  6,200,  and  the  Publix  is  the 
largest  single  theater  chair  order  placed  by  one 
organization — the  contract  requiring  over  40,000 
chairs. 

Fifteen  houses  now  in  construction  for  Publix 
have  specified  Heywood-Wakefield  chairs.  Like- 
wise, ten  new  Orpheum  theaters  have  indicated 
their  preference  for  Heywood-Wakefield  seating. 
These  facts,  together  with  the  many  other  in- 
dividual and  chain  operators  who  have  entrusted 
the  comfort  of  their  patrons  to  the  company, 
makes  us  very  confident  that  1928  will  be  th« 
most  active  year  in  Heywood-Wakefield  history.

TYPHOON  ADVENT  INTO 
REFRIGERATION  FIELD 
MARKED  1927 

By  L.  S.  FRYER 
Typhoon  Fan  Co. 

NOT  a  year  since  1911  has  gone  by  without 
the  Typhoon  Fan  Co.  having  contributed 
improvements  to  the  field  of  cooling  and 
ventilating.  In  1927,  however,  the  Typhoon  or- 
ganization made  the  most  signal  record  for  itself. 

It  perfected  a  new  type  of  belt  driven  fan  which 
combines  operating  efficiency  with  low  initial 
cost.  There  is  no  multiblade  disc  fan  on  the  mar- 
ket which  gives  as  much  air  for  the  power  used 
as  this  new  Typhoon.  Whereas  belt  driven  fans 
usually  assembled  by  setting  the  fan  and  motor 
separately,  the  improved  Typhoon  is  set  as  one 
complete  unit  exactly  as  it  is  shipped  from  the 
factory.  Motor,  pulley,  belt  and  fan — all  mounted 
on  the  same  frame.  It  is  therefore  called  the 
Typhoon  unit  drive  disc  blower.  There  is  no 
comparison  in  initial  cost  between  this  Typhoon 
unit  and  direct-connected  fans. 

A  further  improvement  effected  by  Typhoon 
engineers  is  the  application  of  a  new  type  of  drive 
— Texrope — to  Typhoons.  Belt  stretch,  slip, 
squeaks,  squeals,  hitherto  common  to  cooling  and 
ventilating  equipment,  are  now  permanently  elimin- 
ated, making  the  Typhoon  System  the  only  ab- 
solutely silent  cooling  and  ventilating  system  in 
the  industry. 

Perhaps  the  most  important  development  for 
1927  is  Typhoon's  establishment  in  the  field  of  air 
conditioning  by  refrigeration.  Because  of  its  long 
years  of  experience  with  the  cooling  and  ventilat- 
ing problems  of  the  theater,  and  the  experience 
gained  from  the  intricate  air  conditioning  installa- 
tions in  industrial  plants.  The  Typhoon  Fan  Co. 
is  in  a  position  to  give  the  theater  the  ideal 
refrigeration  system  for  its  particular  require- 
ments both  from  the  standpoints  of  initial  cost 
and  efficient  operation. 

Typhoon  was  selected  by  the  Cuban  govern- 
ment to  install  the  cooling  and  ventilating  system 
in  the  new  Capitol  building,  Palacio  del  Con- 
greso,  Habana,  Cuba.  Among  Typhoon  equipped 
theaters  are:  Walter  Reade's  circuit  including 
the  Mayfair  at  Asbury  Park,  the  A.  H.  Schwartz 
chain.  Proctors,  Keiths,  B.  S.  Moss,  Loew's, 
Great  States,  Publix,  Saenger  Amusement,  Tri- 
State  and  others. 


PROJECTION  MADE  RAPID 
STRIDES  IN  PROGRESS 
DURING  1927 

PROJECTION  progress  in  the  past  year  has 
been  chiefly  in  the  direction  of  increased  safe- 
'  ty  and  the  development  of  entertainment 
emanating  from  the  projection  room.  Safety  de- 
vices are  being  used  which  will  be  found  useful 
under  certain  conditions  and  the  International  Pro- 
jector Corp.  introduced  Power's  new  film  gate  as- 
sembly with  lower  fire  shield.  This  improvement 
was  necessitated  by  the  greatly  increased  amper- 
age used  on  high  intensity  lamps  and  conditions 
created  by  reflector  arc  lamps.  Perhaps,  however, 
the  most  notable  tendency  in  the  direction  of  reduc- 
ing fire  hazards  is  a  movement  to  give  more  atten- 
tion to  repairs  and  replacements.  F.  H.  Richard- 
son recently  stated  at  a  convention  of  the  National 
Theater  Supply  Co.,  that  "worn  out  projectors  and 
parts  is  an  evil  that  is  costing  theater  owners 
millions   of   dollars  every   year."     For  some  time 


"three  projectors"  has  been  established  as  the 
standard  in  first  class  theaters,  the  third  projector 
being  installed  as  an  emergency  precaution.  In 
each  of  the  four  new  Fox  theaters  now  being  built, 
four  projectors  will  be  installed  and  the  projection 
room  so  designed  that  there  will  be  ample  space 
for  the  additional  equipment.  This  extra  equip- 
ment is  necessitated  in  the  Fox  houses  by  the  use 
of  Movietone  but  such  theaters  as  the  Paramount, 
the  Capitol  and  Roxy.  in  New  York,  also  have 
four  projectors  in  the  projection  room  at  the  prei- 
ent  time.  The  fourth  projector  is  used  to  advan- 
tage for  special  effects.  The  Roxy  also  has  a 
projector  installed  in  back  of  the  -.Uge  lor  ie»r 
projection  and  this  is  a  novelty  which  should  even- 
tually  prove   very  popular.

SEEBURG  COMPANY  CON- 
STANTLY IMPROVING  ITS 
ORGAN  MODELS 

By  MARSHALL  SEEBURG 
J.  P.  Setbiu-g  Co. 

IN  glancing  back  over  the  year  just  passed  the 
exhibitor  will  notice  the  great  amount  of  ef- 
fort that  has  been  expended  to  provide  better 
and  better  musical  accompaniment  for  picture 
presentations.  The  ultimate  dictator  of  course  is 
the  sophisticated  public  which  is  so  quickly  and 
constantly  being  educated  to  more  and  more  criti- 
cal ideas.  Many  conditions  are  bringing  this  about 
and  it  is  necessary  of  course  for  both  the  exhib- 
itor and  the  manufacturer  of  musical  instruments 
to  recognize  this  fastidious  taste  in  the  minds  of 
the  "movie  goer." 

Not  alone  is  this  need  for  better  music  confined 
to  the  large  million  dollar  houses  but  you  will 
find  it  true  also  of  the  smaller  houses  under  1,200 
seat  capacity.  No  longer  is  it  possible  to  satisfy 
your  patrons  with  the  ordinary  piano  rumblings 
which  once  characterized  the  corner  movie.  They 
too  must  now  imitate  the  larger  houses  and  pro- 
vide pipe  organ  music  which  now  has  become  syn- 
onymous   with    cinema  presentations. 

The  J.  P.  Seeburg  Co.  long  has  been  prominent 
in  the  building  of  pipe  organs  and  the  creation  of 
models  of  a  kind  particularly  fitting  to  the  re- 
quirement, ranging  from  the  largest  great  unit 
organs  and  the  now  obsolete  combination  orches- 
trion and  pipe  organ,  to  the  gradual  evolving  of 
the  present  style  of  self-contained  pipe  organ 
which  can  be  installed  by  anyone  in  less  than  two 
hours.  The  reputation  gained  by  Seeburg  through 
its  many  years  of  specialization  in  reproducing 
instruments  has  lead  to  discoveries  hitherto  un- 
heard  of    in   automatic   musical  attainment. 

The  present  model  of  Seeburg  is  nothing  short 
of  marvelous.  It  is  provided  with  a  remote  con- 
trol board  which  makes  it  possible  to  completely 
control  the  operation  of  the  instrument  from  any 
distant  point  within  the  theater.  The  operating 
board  may  be  installed  just  beside  the  ticket  taker 
at  the  door  who  can  regulate  the  music  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  picture.  The  instrument  is 
provided  with  two  separate  music  rolls  which  op- 
erate entirely  independent  of  each  other  and  may 
be  made  to  play  two  distinct  types  of  music  so 
as  to  afford  the  necessary  change  in  the  theme  of 
the  accompaniment  or  it  may  be  allowed  to  play 
continuously  through  the  entire  picture  without 
a  break  in  the  music.  The  instrument  can  be 
played  continuously  for  two  hours  without 
repetition  of  selection  at  which  time  it  will  auto- 
matically rewind  and  again  start  the  program 
without  interruption.  If  a  shorter  time  than  this 
is  desirable  other  rolls  are  provided  to  make  this 
possible.

HUNDREDS  OF  THEATERS 
INSTALL  SENTRY  SAFETY 
CONTROL 

By  JOSEPH  E.  COHEN 
Sentry  Safety  Control  Corp. 

DURING  1927  the  Sentry  Safety  Control  Corp. 
equipped  hundreds  of  theaters  with  the  fire- 
prevention  device  known  as  the  Sentry  Safe- 
ty Control. 

Installations  were  made  in  all  parts  of  the  coun- 
try and  in  all  sorts  of  theaters  from  the  smallest 
to  the  largest.  Included  among  exhibitors  who 
contracted  with  the  corporation  were  some  of 
the  biggest  theater  operators  in  the  country; 
rtotably  William  Fox.  the  Comerford  circuit,  tht 
Equity  circuit  of  Philadelphia,  Stanley-Crandall  cf 
Washington,  the  Stanley  Corp.  of  America  and 
many  others. 

The  whole  purpose  of  the  corporation  is  to  sell 
safety  from  fire.  That  was  the  idea  behind  the 
invention — it  was  invented  to  fill  a  specific  need — ■ 
and  that  is  the  idea  behind  its  merchandising. 
Ninety  per  cent  of  all  fires  in  photoplay  theaters 
come  from  the  firing  of  film  while  in  use.  The 
Sentry  Safety  Control  prevents  such  fires  abso- 
lutely. It  is  designed  to  take  care  of  every  pos- 
sible contingency  and  it  is  a  positive  fire-preventer 
for  film  in  motion. 

Orders  in  the  latter  part  of  1927  ran  away 
ahead  of  factory  facilities  and  for  a  while  it 
was  not  possible  to  make  rapid  installations.  This 
has  now  been  remedied  and  installations  follow 
orders  very  quickly.  Service  and  supply  is  main- 
tained through  branch  offices  of  National  Theater 
Supply  Co.,  also  through  the  corporation's  home 
office  in  Philadelphia  and  the  New  York  office. 


"GET  IT  THERE"  SLOGAN  BIG 
FACTOR  IN  RUBY  SUCCESS 

J.  B.  RUBINSTEIN 
Ruby  Camera  Exchange 

IT  is  not  so  long  since  the  field  of  commercial 
picture-making    service    was    very    much  over- 
run.    Small  operators  with  high-sounding  titles 
constituted  a  great  majority  of  the  field,  but  the 
survival   of   the   fittest   has   left   fewer  and  moie 
well-grounded  firms  in  the  market. 

Carrying  on  since  1910,  the  Ruby  Camera  Ex- 
change is  today  the  largest  firm  making  industrial 
films  by  contract.  An  interesting  feature  of  the 
Ruby  work  is  that  many  smaller  commercial  film 
concerns  turn  their  contracts  over  for  execution 
under  the  Ruby  system  and  facilities,  in  which 
case  the  Ruby  staff  men  are  as  representing  the 
firm  in  whose  name  the  work  is  done. 

The  Ruby  equipment  includes  every  power 
of  speed  and  distance  lenses,  speed  cameras,  cable 
and  lighting  of  every  description.  It  is  the  Ruby 
boast  that  the  firm  is  equipped  to  illuminate  Madi- 
son Square  Garden  on  two  hours'  notice ;  and  all  of 
it,  including  motor-driven  cameras  and  the  most 
intricate  and  unusual  units  of  picture-making  ap- 
paratus, are  obtainable  for  rent  by  the  trade. 

Photographic  problems,  trick  photography,  re- 
mote control  photography,  developing,  printing,  re- 
duction and  even  cutting  and  editing  devices,  are 
within  the  scope  of  the  Ruby  service.  Their  affili- 
ation with  the  DuArt  Laboratories  makes  possible 
the  very  highest  attainment  in  completeness  of 
service,  with  speed  and  price  special  factors,  due 
to  the  volume  handled.  Thus  the  industrial  con- 
tract is  completely  handled  by  Ruby's,  even  to  the 
automatic  projector  battery  which  affords  distri- 
bution for  industrial  pictures  at  theaters  or  other 
picked  spots. 

The  Ruby  slogan  is  "Get  it  there!"  Be  it  a 
mile  of  cable,  a  battery  of  cameras  or  a  single 
light,  the  purchase  moves  out  of  the  Ruby  quar- 
ters in  an  hour,  and  goes— mail,  messenger  or  air- 
plane may  take  it — it  gets  there. 


600,000,000  FEET  OF  FILM  IS 
ANNUAL  CONSOLIDATED 
CAPACITY 

SEVEN    plants   are    maintained   by  Consolidated 
Film  Industries  to  assure  speedy  communica- 
tion and  rapid  processing  of  film.     The  com- 
pany's total   capacity  is  over  600,000,000  feet  of 
film  annually. 

The  company  attaches  a  guarantee  to  all  its 
work,  using  the  slogan  of  "Certified  Prints."  Her- 
bert J.  Yates  is  president. 

Special  departments  are  maintained  for  English 
and  foreign  language  titles,  for  art  titles,  for  stor- 
age and  for  16  mm.  printing  including  reductions 
or  enlargements.  Twenty-four  hour  a  day  news- 
reel   service  is  maintained. 


EDWARDS  ELECTRICAL  WORK 
IS  INSTALLED  IN  400  THEATERS 

ESTABLISHED  in  1872,  the  business  of  Ed- 
wards Electrical  Construction  Co.,  New  York, 
passed  through  the  early  stages  of  installing 
bells  and  batteries,  then  arc  lamps  and  the  first 
incandescent  lamps,  at  a  time  when  ten  was  a 
large  number  of  lamps  to  contract  for.  From 
that  to  lighting  the  private  house;  the  office  build- 
ing, the  apartment ;  the  theater ;  was  a  growth 
covering  many  years  of  progress. 

For  25  years  the  firm  has  helped  the  develop- 
ment of  auditorium  and  stage  lighting;  they  have 
designed  the  first  three  color  lighting  system  in- 
stalled in  a  theater  auditorium.  To  date  the  a  m- 
pany  has  designed  or  installed  electrical  equip- 
ment in  over  400  large  theaters,  and  its  work 
may  be  seen  in  large  cities  throughout  this  coun- 
try and  Canada. 

Though  an  engineering  firm,  the  company  does 
not  forget  that  lighting  must  embellish  the  art  of 
the  architects,  and  designs  illumination  with  this 
idea  in  mind. 


RADIO-MAT   SLIDES— THEIR 
USES,  CONVENIENCE  AND 
PROGRESS 

By  W.  C.  VOIGHT 
President,  Radio-Mat  Slide  Co. 

THE   progress   toward   the   comfort   of  modern 
civilization   can   be  measured  by  the  conven- 
ient and  useful,  so  called,  Small  Thing.  One' 
such  small  thing — the  Radio-Mat   Slide — has  play- 
ed a  most  important,  as  well  as  unique  part  in 
the  development  of  the  motion  picture  industry. 

The  exhibitor  shows  his  live  showmanship,  his 
civic  interest,  and  makes  his  theater  a  real  com- 
munity center — by  making  friends  of  his  towns- 
men— when  he  begins  to  use  this  Small  Thing — 
the   Radio-Mat    (typewriter)  Slide. 

Colleges,  schools,  churches,  newspapers,  busi- 
ness and  other  organizations  find  the  Radio-Mat  an 
aid  in  advertising  activities,  illustrating  material, 
announcing  information,  songs,  and  all  work  of  a 
general  nature.  Lecturers  and  teachers  use  this 
slide  extensively  because  they  realize  the  value 
of   visual  education. 

The  Red  Cross  Roll  Call,  the  mail  early  com- 
paign  of  the  postoffice,  and  other  extensive  cam- 
paigns and  drives  have  used  Radio-Mat  Slides  by 
the  thousands. 

The  Radio-Mat  Slide  Co.  was  incorporated  IS 
years  ago  and  has  devoted  itself  exclusively  to  the 
manufacture  and  perfection  of  this  siide.  It  has 
enjoyed  an  uninterrupted  and  growing  success  from 
the  beginning  and  now  Radio-Mats  are  not  cnly 
used  in  every  corner  of  this  country,  but  are  sold 
in  every  progressive  country  the  world  ever.  The 
roinpany's  original  policy  of  selling  wholesale — 
to  dealers  only — has  been  adhered  to  and  in  this 
way  it  has  built  up  a  splendid  jatr.magc  an4  co- 
Operation  among  the  theater  equipiner.t  dcatas.

PROGRESS  OF  NATIONAL 
THEATER  SUPPLY  PRESAGES 
BANNER  YEAR 

By  GEORGE  DE  KRU1F 
Advertising  Manager,  National  Theater  Supply  Co. 

ENTHUSIASM  for  National  Theater  Supply 
Co.'s  policy  of  helpful  service  to  the  theater 
owner,  emphasized  by  its  one  contract  plan 
and  record  of  saving  during  the  first  nine  months 
of  its  existence,  reached  a  climax  at  the  sales 
convention  held  during  January,  presaging  a  ban- 
ner  year   for   the  company. 

National's  personnel  is  sold  on  its  product,  from 
President  H.  A.  R.  Dutton  down  through  every 
branch  of  the  firm's  activities.  Manufacturers 
whose  product  the  company  distributes  are  sold  as 
National — they  also  made  that  plain  at  the  com- 
pany's sales  convention — and  the  combination  is 
a  happy  and  ideal  one.  It  is  a  combination  which 
offers  material  and  substantial  benefit  to  theater 
owners. 

"From  the  Ground  Up"  is  National's  slogan, 
and  the  company  is  carrying  it  out  with  a  spirit 
of  pep  and  helpfulness  seldom  equalled  in  picture 
history.  It  is  embodied  in  the  one  contract  plan, 
which  enables  an  exhibitor  to  order  from  and 
through  National,  his  every  want  and  need  from 
the  planning  of  a  theater,  to  the  finished  project, 
ready  for  the  presentation  of  the  show. 

Improvements  have  been  made  in  equipment 
handled  by  National,  the  organization,  welded  to- 
gether last  year  under  the  leadership  of  H.  A.  R. 
Dutton  is  functioning  smoothly,  and  will  even  bet- 
ter its  own  record  for  service  during  1928.  Add 
to  this  the  faith  and  confidence  placed  in  the  com- 
pany by  the  exhibitor,  and  you  will  agree  that 
the  year  of  1928  will  be  an  auspicious  one  for  the 
company. 

A  review  of  National's  activity  in  1927,  shows 
that  in  the  first  eight  months  of  the  company's 
operation,  following  expansion  to  include  branches 
in  all  keys,  $319,970.66  was  saved  exhibitors  in 
the  buying  of  equipment.  This  fact  is  an  im- 
portant one,  in  that  it  proved  National's  sin- 
cerity in  announcing  that  its  expansion  would  re- 
sult in  a  substantial  saving  for  the  industry. 

When  National  first  began  its  expansion  pro- 
gram, there  was  attempt  to  formulate  a  prejudice 
of  misunderstanding,  with  respects  to  the  com- 
pany's motives.  Its  record,  however,  speaks  for 
itself,  an  outstanding  achievement  of  which  the 
company  is  just  proud. 

National  is  strictly  a  service  organization.  It 
has  nothing  to  sell  except  service,  nothing  to 
supply  but  service.  Sales  of  picture  machines; 
of  any  of  the  various  items  which  have  long  been 
associated  with  the  necessities  of  theater  opera- 
tion and  maintenance  are  of  secondary  imporiance 
and  incidental  only  to  the  rendering  of  service. 
The  lowly  thumb  tack  remains  a  push  pin.  Its 
cost  is  established.  Its  selling  price  may  vary, 
but  its  value  must  fluctuate  and  is  affected  by 
the  urgency  of  demand  for  it.  In  other  words, 
if  an  exhibitor  finds  his  supply  of  thumb  tacks 
exhausted,  and  he  is  unable  to  post  his  paper  with- 
out them,  quick  service  rendered  in  supplying  the 
demand  takes  precedence  over  all  else.  And  so 
with  carbons;  with  film  cement;  with  every  com- 
modity identified  with  the  mechanical  operation 
of  the  theater. 

Theater  outfitting,  it  must  be  admitted,  has  long 
been  conducted  in  a  rather  disjointed  and  hap- 
hazard manner.  In  order  to  assist  in  correcting 
this  condition,  National  instituted  an  engineering 
division  shortly  after  the  company  was  formed. 

An  outstanding  achievement  of  National  during 
its  first  year  was  the  establishment  of  the  one- 
contract  plan  sales  department.  Through  this  de- 
partment, collaborating  with  the  engineering  di- 
vision, National  offers  a  complete  service  to  both 
the  owners,  and  prospective  owners  of  theaters. 

In  assuming  the  position  of  complete  theater 
outfitters,  it  was  necessary  for  National  to  take 
over  distribution  of  pipe  organs.  So,  through 
a  process  of  elimination,  the  executives  set  about 
to  secure  the  highest  type  of  organ  available.  The 
Kilgen  Wonder  Organ  was  selected. 


The  necessity  for  specialization  in  each  depart- 
ment of  theater  outfitting  was  recognized  in  form- 
ing the  organization.  Therefore,  interior  decorat- 
ing, stage  scenery  and  drapery  departments  were 
installed  in  each  of  the  four  National  divisions. 

Realizing  fully  the  importance  of  service  after 
sales,  a  twenty-four  hour  service  policy  has  been 
established  in  each  of  the  31  National  branch 
stores.

THEMATIC  MUSIC  CUE  SHEETS 
EMPHASIZE  MUSIC'S  VALUE 

By  M.  J.  MINTZ 
President,   Cameo  Music  Co. 

IT  is  only  too  true  that  aside  from  and  above 
everything  else  in  the  cinema  theater,  the 
picture's  the  thing.  For  a  while,  a  number 
of  exhibitors  have  subordinated  the  picture  to 
various  other  forms  of  entertainment,  but  I  have 
noticed  during  the  past  few  months  that  they  are 
now  awakening  to  the  realization  of  an  almost 
fatal  error  and  are  hastily  reverting  to  the  orig- 
inal idea  around  which  their  palatial  theaters 
were  built  and  from  which  many  fortunes  were 
amassed. 

The  picture,  however,  in  spite  of  a  wonderful 
scenario,  well  known  star,  beautiful  photography, 
expert  direction,  etc.,  is  incomplete  without  the 
correct  atmospheric  musical  accompaniment,  and 
must  have  it  to  render  a  finished  presentation. 

The  correct  music  for  pictures  does  not  mean 
the  number  of  men  in  the  orchestra  pit,  but  rather 
the  fitting  musical  selections  for  each  particular 
scene  and  action  in  the  picture,  whether  the  mu- 
sic is  furnished  by  one  or  100  musicians.  A 
lone  piano  or  organ  playing  the  correct  numbers 
at  the  proper  times  is  far  better  than  an  immense 
symphony  orchestra  rendering  a  masterpiece  with- 
out regard  to  the  different  situations  in  the  pic-

SIMPLICITY  CALLED  KEYNOTE 
OF  BRISTOLPHONE  DEVICE 

By  WILLIAM  H.  BRISTOL 
President   of   the   Bristol  Co. 

THE  name  "Bristolphone"  has  been  given  to  a 
system  for  synchronizing  and  re-synchronizing 
motion  pictures  with  sound  which  has  been 
developed  by  William  H.  Bristol,  president  of  the 
Bristol  Co.,  Waterbury,  Conn.  The  method  em- 
ployed is  to  record  the  sound  on  a  disc  similar 
to  a  phonograph  record  and  simultaneously  photo- 
graph the  scene  with  a  motion  picture  camera. 
For  synchronizing  motion  pictures  that  have  pre- 
viously been  made,  the  recording  equipment  and 
motion  picture  projector  are  electrically  connected 
and  operated  by  synchronizing  motors  so  that  the 
music  or  sound  is  recorded  while  the  film  is  being 
projected  on  the  screen  in  the  recording  studio. 

The  synchronizing  apparatus  has  a  turntable  fcr 
the  record  disc  with  its  motor  and  electric  syn- 
chronizer which  is  connected  by  a  small  five  wire 
cable  to  the  driving  synchronizer  on  the  projector. 
This  synchronizing  device  may  be  readily  applied 
to  any  standard  model  of  projector  for  theatrical 
use  or  to  portable  models  for  homes,  schoolrooms, 
churches,  clubs,  etc.,  using  safety  standard  width 
or  16  mm.  film. 

One  of  the  unique  and  exclusive  features  of  the 
Bristolphone  is  the  simple  method  of  re-syn- 
chronizing  the  film  and  sound  while  the  picture 
is  being  projected  on  the  screen.  The  most  im- 
portant feature  of  this  system  is  its  simplicity  of 
construction  and  operation  due  to  the  simple  de- 
sign and  the  minimum  amount  of  equipment  used 
to  produce  synchronization.

NEW  DEVRY  PROJECTOR  AND 
CAMERA  TO  MAKE  BOW  IN  1928 


HARBULA  STRESSES  NEED  FOR 
COUNSEL  OF  ENGINEERS 


By  A.  P.  HOLLIS 
Advertising  Manager,  the  DeVry  Corp. 

PREVIOUS  to  1927  The  DeVry  Corp.  had 
confined  its  activities  to  the  manufacture  and 
sale  of  portable  projectors  of  the  suitcase 
type  largely  for  non-theatrical  use.  This  business 
had  grown  to  such  proportions  that  the  company 
had  sold  more  than  14,000  projectors;  more  than 
all  other  makes  of  standard  protable  projectors 
combined.  During  all  these  years  there  had  been 
occasional  demands  for  an  inexpensive  motion 
picture  camera  that  could  be  used  by  amateurs 
engaged  in  this  type  of  work.  Such  a  demand 
of  course  meant  an  automatic  camera,  as  hand 
cranking  was  an  acquired  art,  and  the  camera 
had  to  be  light  with  its  mechanism  so  simple 
as  to  be  in  popular  parlance  "fool-proof." 

It  was  not  until  1926  that  the  corporation 
produced  a  spring  strong  enough  to  furnish  the 
power  necessary,  and  so  balanced  that  the  mo- 
tion would  be  absolutely  uniform.  As  soon  as 
this  double  counter-balanced  spring  was  produced, 
the  corporation  began  at  once  to  manufacture  the 
DeVry  Movie  Camera.  Designed  for  the  amateur 
it  was  soon  apparent  that  its  exceptional  qual- 
ities recommended  it  to  professional  cameramen, 
the  result  being  that  at  the  close  of  1927  the 
professionals  in  Hollywood  and  the  cameramen  of 
all  the  newsreel  companies  had  bought  up  about 
all  of  the  DeVry  cameras  in  sight,  so  that  the 
amateur  did  not  play  a  large  part  in  the  sales. 
Twenty-five  in  one  order  for  the  new  Paramount 
newsreel  service  and  the  camera  has  now  come 
to  be  regarded  as  regular  equipment  for  newsreel 
cameramen. 

Such  was  the  sale  of  the  DeVry  Movie  Camera 
at  the  close  of  business  in  1927.  Local  theater 
men  found  that  at  this  low  price  ($150.00)  they 
could  make  their  own  newsreels  of  local  material 
and  increase  attendance. 

The  year  1927  marked  also  the  advent  of  the 
DeVry  Corp.  into  the  16  mm.  field;  the  first 
unit  being  the  DeVry  16  mm.  projector  which 
sells  for  $95. 

Early  in  1928  there  appeared  the  DeVry 
16  mm.  continuous  projector.  Produced  at  a 
new  low  price  it  will  be  used  in  theater  lobbies 
and  business  concerns  wherever  continuous  motion 
pictures  are  to  be  shown  for  advertising  pur- 
poses. A  newly-devised  automatic  clock  attach- 
ment stops  the  films  at  any  desired  time. 

There  is  now  being  put  into  production  also 
the  DeVry  16  mm.  camera  which  will  appear  early 
in  the  spring  and  will  comp'ete  the  years'  produc- 
tion in  the  16  mm.  equipment.  The  camera  will 
be  made  on  the  same  lines  as  the  DeVry  35  mm. 
camera,  but  will  be  much  l'ghter  and  will  be  reg- 
ularly equipped  for  three  speed  changes. 

A  smal'er  item  in  the  year's  production  was 
the  new  quick-set  screen  which  can  be  "set-up" 
and   "set   down"   in   less  than  a  second. 

The  DeVry  Corp.  has  become  wholesale  dis- 
tributor for  Pathegrams  made  from  the  famous 
film   library   of   Pathe  exchange. 

During  a  recent  month,  the  export  of  DeVry 
products  amounted  to  26  per  cent  of  its  gross 
business.  During  a  previous  month,  the  U.  S. 
Government  reports  show  that  the  export  of  De- 
Vry Portable  Projectors  formed  72  per  cent  of 
the  total  shipment  of  all  projectors  to  foreign 
countries.  An  order  has  just  been  received  for 
114  portable  projectors  for  the  Japanese  navy, 
supplementing  a  previous  order  for  98  for  the 
army. 


By  M.  G.  HARBULA 
Consulting  Engineer 

THE  year  1928  will  see  greater  strides  being 
made  toward  real  economy  in  every  phase  of 
the  industry.  The  producers  as  well  as  the 
distributors  have  been  paring  their  end  down  to 
a  minimum  while  the  exhibitor  has  just  started 
to  pay  attention  to  ways  and  means  whereby  more 
economies  can  be  effected.  This  article  will  deal 
entirely  upon  one  phase  of  the  exhibiting  end  of 
the  industry,  and  that  is  the  comfort  of  the  pa- 
tron who  has  paid  the  price  of  admission  to  the 
theater. 

A  comfortable  air  condition  inside  the  theater  is 
one  of  the  things  most  desired  by  the  patron  and 
no  less  by  the  exhibitor.  To  sit  in  a  showhouse 
with  poor  ventilation,  improper  heating,  or  what 
is  perhaps  the  most  annoying  of  all,  a  drafty  and 
urcomf  ortably  cold  condition  is  one  means  of 
making  a  patron  feel  that  he  will  not  come  to 
that  house  again. 

Circuits  and  individual  theater  owners  are  spend- 
ing tremendous  amounts  of  money  for  mechanical 
equipment  which  is  installed  in  their  theaters  to 
maintain  ideal  conditions.  These  plants  are  sold 
with  every  imaginable  guarantee  as  to  temperature, 
humidity,  absence  of  drafts,  etc.  With  a  theater 
of  the  de  luxe  type  of  about  3,000  seating  capacity 
and  costing  around  $1,000,000  the  cost  of  mechani- 
cal equipment,  including  the  plumbing,  heating, 
ventilating  and  refrigerating  plant  usually  runs 
from  20  to  30  per  cent.  By  the  heating,  venti- 
lating and  refrigerating  plant  is  meant  the  com- 
plete fan  system  of  ventilation  with  distributing 
ducts  and  a  complete  ice  plant  for  cooling  the  air. 
For  some  houses  without  commercial  buildings  or 
apartments  or  stores  attached  the  cost  may  run 
down  as  low  as  16  or  17  per  cent  of  the  total 
cost  of  the  project.  The  most  astounding  thing 
to  engineers  familiar  with  this  field  of  work  is 
that  the  man  representing  the  theater  owner  in 
such  transactions  involving  such  great  amounts 
is  a  man  who  usually  does  not  have  more  than  a 
remote  idea  of  the  function  of  this  equipment. 

Within  the  past  few  years  the  mechanical  cool- 
ing of  theaters  has  been  done  on  a  large  scale 
and  some  of  the  larger  circuits,  contract,  one  might 
say  overnight,  for  cooling  plants  in  a  batch  of 
five  or  ten  theaters  involving  anywhere  from  1.000 
to  2,000  tons  of  refrigerating  capacity  a  day.  Such 
equipment  is  the  result  of  the  highly  developed 
science  and  technique  of  refrigeration.  Yet  the 
theater  or  circuit  owner  is  represented  in  these 
transactions  in  practically  all  cases  by  a  non- 
technical man  or,  if  technical,  he  is  not  familiar 
with  the  science  or  art  of  producing  comfortable 
air  conditions  in  the  theater,  nor  does  he  know 
a  great  deal  about  the  individual  machines  or 
equipment  combined  to  produce  such  air  condi- 
tions. 

Consider  on  the  other  hand  the  various  indus- 
tries whose  very  life  and  existence  depend  upon 
mechanical  refrigeration  or  heating.  When  a  meat 
packing  establishment  or  an  ice  manufacturer  is 
in  the  market  for  a  100  ton  refrigerating  machine, 
to  add  to  his  capacity,  he  knows  practically  the 
kind  of  metal  which  will  be  used  in  every  part 
of  the  machine  or  one  might  say  the  size  of  threads 
cut  on  the  bolts  which  hold  the  machine  together; 
his  engineers  who  are  experts  in  this  field  know 
beforehand  and  are  able  to  analyze  in  great  detail 
the  performance  and  characteristics  of  any  type 
of  machine,  the  operating  economies  of  one  as 
against  the  other,  also  the  life  and  dependability 
of  the  equipment  which  is  paramount  with  such 
industries  due  to  the  fact  that  without  such  equip- 
ment they  cannot  transact  business.  A  great  deal 
more  time  is  spent  by  such  industrial  concerns  in

buying  a  50  or  100  ton  refrigerating  plant  than 
the  theater  or  circuit  owner  takes  in  buying  1,000 
to  2,000  tons  of  refrigeration,  as  the  writer  has 
seen  over  and  over  again  in  this  industry. 

Just  as  the  exhibitor,  whether  he  owns  one 
theater  or  100  needs  a  good  booking  staff,  a  pub- 
licity department  and  highly  trained  and  usually 
expensive  legal  department  or  legal  advisors  he 
also  needs  even  in  a  greater  sense  the  services  of 
a  reliable  and  competent  engineer  to  consult  with 
and  to  advise  him,  as  well  as  analyze  any  dealings 
he  may  have  with  a  contractor  or  manufacturer 
furnishing  or  '  installing  such  mechanical  equip- 
ment. He  requires  the  services  of  such  an  engi- 
neer when  he  plans  his  theater,  when  he  receives 
his  bids  on  equipment,  when  he  buys  the  equip- 
ment, while  it  is  being  installed,  to  accept  the 
equipment  after  installation,  to  instruct  his  own 
operating  men  in  the  care  and  operation  of  the 
plant  and  finally  to  maintain  such  plant  and  keep 
it  operating  at  minimum  cost  insofar  as  fuel, 
electricity  and   water  are  concerned. 

The  theater  owner  has  depended  upon  his  archi- 
tect for  such  services  but  very  few  architectural 
offices  indeed  are  equipped  to  render  this  service 
because  of  the  fact  that  the  methods  of  design, 
installation  and  operation  of  most  modern  systems 
of  heating,  ventilating  and  refrigeration  are  known 
to  but  a  few  engineers.  Such  engineers  are  usu- 
ally part  of  contracting  or  manufacturers'  organi- 
zations, which  organizations  today  are  installing 
such  systems  in  the  theater.  There  are  a  number 
of  such  organizations  competent  to  handle  this 
type  of  work  in  this  country,  but,  the  engineer- 
ing sold  with  the  system  naturally  must  be  biased 
as  far  as  that  particular  contractor  or  manufac- 
turer  is  concerned. 

It  is  here  the  consulting  engineering  for  the 
owner  plays  an  important  part.  He  is  in  a  posi- 
tion to  analyze  in  detail  for  the  owner  the  propo- 
sitions offered — the  guarantees  made — the  types 
of  various  equipment  insofar  as  first  cost'  and 
operating  economies  are  concerned  and  numer- 
ous other  details  that  only  an  engineer  can  de- 
termine who  is  thoroughly  familiar  with  the  own- 
er's requirements  and  also  the  product  and  facili- 
ties of  a  manufacturer  or  Contractor  who  can  fill 
these  requirements.  Similarly  the  knowledge  pos- 
sessed by  such  an  engineer  is  available  to  the 
architects  through  the  owner.  The  engineer  then 
acts  as  a  supervising  engineer  for  the  owner 
by  cooperating  with  the  architect  to  provide  proper 
space  for  the  equipment  and  to  supervise  the  en- 
tire design  of  the  system  from  the  same  stand- 
point of  first  cost  and  minimum  operating  cost  for 
the  life  of  the  plant. 

Before  the  author  established  his  business  as  a 
consulting  engineer  he  was  connected  with  vari- 
ous companies  who  manufactured  and  installed 
such  mechanical  systems  of  refrigeration,  heatmg 
and  ventilation.  The  author  knew  from  his  expe- 
rience with  such  companies  that  tremendous  econo- 
mies could  be  effected  for  the  owner  in  the  pur- 
chase of  such  systems — if  the  owner  could  com- 
mand the  services  of  an  engineer  who  had  nothing 
to  sell   but  engineering  services. 

As  an  example  for  comparison,  one  of  the  au- 
thor's clients  turned  over  five  theaters  in  which 
such  complete  systems  were  to  be  installed.  The 
same  client  had  a  subsidiary  circuit  which  pur- 
chased and  installed  such  equipment  direct  from 
a  manufacturer  and  contractor.  The  subsidiary 
interests  found  when  they  had  spent  the  last  dol- 
lar for  the  work  on  their  five  theaters,  embracing 
such  systems,  that  it  had  cost  them  50  per  cent 
more  for  the  same  number  of  theaters  with  practical- 
ly the  same  seating  capacity  and  the  same  amount 
of  refrigeration  that  it  had  cost  the  author's  client 
doing  the  work  through  him.  The  operating  cost 
of  the  plants  installed  under  the  author's  super- 
vision for  the  same  client  was  materially  less 
than  that  of  the  subsidiary  interests — in  other 
words  in  every  phase  of  the  operation  great  econo- 
mies were  effected  because  the  author's  client  had 
provided  himself  with  the  services  of  an  engineer 
who  was  thoroughly  conversant  with  the  entire 
field.  The  services  of  the  complete  and  highly 
efficient  engineering  department  are  thus  added  to 
the  facilities  of  a  circuit  owner  without  ictusdly 
carrying  the  burden  such  a  department  within  an 
organization  entails. 

There  has  never  been  a  great  deal  of  time  or 


thought  spent  on  the  engineering  problems  of  a 
theater  owner.  He  has  been  more  interested  in 
having  a  building  erected  for  him  that  contained 
the  greatest  possible  number  of  seats  within  the 
four  walls  enclosing  it.  The  mechanical  equip- 
ment has  always  been  treated  in  an  off-hand  man- 
ner and  up  to  a  few  years  ago  when  a  person 
would  come  to  the  theater  to  see  a  picture 
regardless  of  the  comfort  conditions  within, 
the  patron  now  will  seek  out  the  theater  where 
he  can  feel  most  comfortable  while  enjoying  a  per- 
formance. In  scurrying  around  to  meet  the  de- 
mand of  the  patrons  for  better  comfort  conditions 
the  owner  has  gone  about  the  purchasing  and  in- 
stallation of  such  equipment  in  a  most  haphazard 
manner  and  dire  and  excessively  expensive  re- 
sults  have  always  followed. 

The  circuit  or  theater  owner  must  realize  that 
he  should  plan  the  equipment  of  the  building  at 
the  same  time  he  is  planning  the  building  itself  and 
must  also  see  to  it  that  tbis  feature  of  the  work 
is  given  the  same  attention,  if  not  greater  atten- 
tion than  the  architectural  and  decorative  treat- 
ment, otherwise  he  is  burdening  himself  with  not 
only  excessive  expenditures  on  first  cost,  but 
constantly  increasing  expenditures  for  mainten- 
ance and  operation  of  plants  faultily  designed  and 
installed. 

Engineers  familiar  with  the  maintenance  and 
operation  of  mechanical  plants  for  industrial  in- 
stitutions or  even  public  building  work  are  amazed 
at  the  lack  of  competent  engineers  servicing  the- 
atrical organizations.  It  is  a  fact  in  the  past 
year  theaters  have  purchased  more  refrigeration 
tonnage  for  air  cooling  than  the  largest  natural 
users  of  such  equipment,  namely  the  packing  in- 
dustry and  the  ice  manufacturers.  It  is  safe  to 
say  that  at  least  95  per  cent  of  such  equipment 
purchased  for  theaters  was  done  so  without  the 
services  of  an  engineer  familiar  with  such  equip- 
ment. 

In  summarizing  it  might  be  said  that  when  the 
exhibitor  has  effected  all  the  economies  he  can  in 
connection  with  the  purely  exhibiting  side  he  will 
finally  arrive  at  a  point  where  he  will  be  con- 
cerned about  what  economies  can  be  effected  in 
the  design,  purchase,  installation  and  servicing  or 
maintenance  and  operation  of  his  mechanical  plant 
for  producing  comfort  in  his  house  by  proper  sound 
and  reliable  air  conditioning  systems  of  heating, 
ventilating    and  cooling.

THEATER  SEAT  COVERS  OFFER 
AID  TO  COMFORT  AND 
ECONOMY 

By  CLAY  E.  BREHM 
Textile  Specialties  Co. 

THEATER  chair  covers  have  been  used  for 
years  in  high  class  theaters  but  it  is  only 
recently  that  chair  covers  have  been  exten- 
sively used  in  the  smaller  picture  houses.  No 
doubt  one  of  the  causes  for  the  backwardness,  has 
been  the  common  belief  that  they  were  an  expen- 
sive proposition.  This  is  not  so,  especially  when 
considered  from  the  point  of  view  of  economy,  al- 
though the  first  cost  of  chair  covers  may  seem  be- 
yond the  means  of  the  manager,  he  should  consider 
the  fact  that  they  will  last  him  from  five  to  six 
years  or  more  (depending  on  the  care  of  same) 
and  by  dividing  the  total  cost  of  the  covers  by 
the  years  during  which  they  will  be  used  it  will 
be  found  that  the  cost  will  probably  be  less  than 
one  cent  per  week  per  chair,  if  the  covers  are 
used  six  months  during  the  year,  and  correspond- 
ingly less  if  used  through  twelve  months. 

The  cost  for  laundering  is  not  high,  as  all  Per- 
Fcct-Fit  theater  chair  covers  are  manufactured  re- 
versible with  a  2,900-seat  house,  it  should  cost 
about  one  cent  for  cover,  and  in  case  he  finds 
it  necessary  to  have  them  laundered  but  once 
a  season,  due  to  the  reversible  feature  of  the  cover 
it  will,  therefore,  be  seen  from  this  that  the  item 
of  upkeep  is  trivial.  When  this  small  sum  is 
compared  with  the  increased  patronage,  drawn  by 
the  inviting  atmosphere  of  the  altered  interior, 
there  is  little  argument  for  the  manager  to  hesi- 
tate in   purchasing  theater  chair  covers. 

During  the  summer  season  of  1927  more  chair 
covers  were  installed  than  ever  before,  and  1928 
will  far  out-strip  the  records  of  last  year.    So  well 


870 


have  some  managers  been  satisfied  with  the  per- 
formance of  the  first  set  of  covers  for  summer 
use,  that  they  have  ordered  other  sets  for  use 
during  other  seasons  of  the  year.  There  are  two 
distinct  applications  of  chair  covers,  one  of  them 
is  for  the  Durpose  of  transforming  the  theater  inte- 
rior to  coincide  with  the  climatical  conditions,  the 
other  is  for  the  purpose  of  covering  up  the  sad 
dilapidated  parts  of  the  old  scarred  chairs.  In 
the  matter  of  the  last  instance,  wonderful  results 
have  been  accomplished  with  the  minimum  of  ex- 
pense. Theaters  that  first  lost  their  drawing  card 
because  of  the  unsightly  appearance  of  the  chair 
backs  and  upholstery,  have  been  brought  back  to 
the  public  favor  through  the  judicious  application 
of  chair  covers. 

There  are  several  points  that  should  be  consid- 
ered in  ordering  or  selecting  chair  covers.  For  one 
thing  the  prospective  purchaser  should  remember 
that  auditorium  and  balcony  chairs  as  a  rule  re- 
quire two  distinct  and  different  styles  of  chair 
covers. 

A  most  important  point,  if  the  purchaser  is  to 
be  satisfied,  is  the  fact  that  chairs  of  the  same 
appearance  vary  somewhat  in  size.  If  the  chair 
covers  are  to  be  a  good  fit.  last  long  and  look  well, 
they  should  be  made  to  fit  each  individual  size  of 
chair  back.

NUMBER  OF  IMPROVEMENTS 
MADE  IN  MOTIOGRAPH  DURING 
1927 

By  O.  F.  SPAHR 
President,   Enterprise   Optical  Co. 

TURNING  back  the  page?  of  history  to  25 
years  ago,  we  find  that  the  first  projector 
made,  weighed  about  16  pounds  and  con- 
sisted of  hardly  more  than  an  efficient  magic 
lantern.  Comoare  that  with  the  standard  pro- 
jector of  today  CThe  Motiograph  weighs  ap- 
proximately 600  pounds)  and  one  is  amazed  to 
note  the  development  in  this  type  of  machinery 
in  so  short  a  time.  This  progress  may  be  ac- 
counted for,  in  a  large  measure,  to  the  demands 
of  this  age.  We  are  passing  through  an  era,  in 
all  fields,  of  the  keenet  competition  that  this 
country  has  ever  known. 

Many   improvements   were  brought  out  on  our 

*  * 


Motiograph  DeLuxe  during  1927,  which  have 
been  thoroughly  tried  out  and  not  only  have  they 
added  greatly  to  the  efficiency  of  the  equipment 
but  they  have  aided  in  enhancing  it  to  the  trade. 
The  most  important  improvement  is  embodied 
in  our  double-bearing  ball-bearing  intermittent 
movement,  which  was  introduced  early  in  1927. 
This  is  an  exclusive  Motiograph  feature,  it  being 
the  only  double-bearing  ball-bearing  intermittent 
movement  on  the  market  today.  Its  great  value 
lies  in  the  fact  that  not  only  is  it  responsible 
for  the  projector  operating  more  smoothly,  but 
it  has  increased  the  life  of  this  vital  unit  some 
three  or  four  times  over  that  of  the  ordinary 
single  bearing  intermittent  movements  in  general 
use.  This  unit  has  been  further  improved  in 
that  its  bearings  are  now  made  of  a  special  bronze, 
which  reduces  the  possibility  of  the  movement 
freezing,  to  practically  nothing.  Being  thoroughly 
convinced  of  the  value  of  hardened  parts,  we  are 
continuing  to  harden  the  Motiograph  star,  sprocket, 
etc.  which  go  into  the  Motiograph  movement,  be- 
cause our  experience  has  proven  that  this-  adds 
to  the  life  of  the  movement. 

A  new  type  of  lens  barrel  was  introduced  in 
the  early  part  of  1927.  This  is-  so  arranged  and 
built  so  as  to  hold  the   lens  rigid   and  positive. 

Another  Motiograph  improvement  born  in  1927 
is  our  quick  and  handy  tilting  device,  which 
enables  the  operator  to  raise  or  lower  the  picture 
on  the  screen,  with  ease.  This  attachment  was 
developed  to  meet  the  requirements  of  houses  that 
find  it  necessary  to  use  two  screens,  it  becoming 
necessary  during  the  performance  to  super-impose 
the  picture  from  one  screen  to  another.  This 
can  be  done  simply  on  the  Motiograph  projector 
by  turning  the  hand  wheel  on  the  side  of  the 
projector  which  is  most  convenient  for  the  pro- 
jectionist. 

The  year  1927  also  saw  the  development  of  the 
new  method  of  framing  (on  the  Motiograph)  by 
hand  wheel  instead  of  the  lever.  The  hand  wheel 
niethod  is  more  convenient  than  the  lever  type ; 
it  is  _  conducive  to  smoother  operation,  eliminating 
the  jerky  motion  heretofore  experienced,  with  the 
old  method  of  framing.  With  the  hand  wheel,  the 
trouble  of  framing  the  picture  past  the  mark  on 
the  screen  is  also  eliminated.

in  achieving  safety  from  fire  for 
audience,  personnel  and  investment. 

It  makes  impossible  a  fire  from  film 
in  use.  No  owner  should  gamble 
with  the  lives  of  his  patrons  when 
such  protection  is  available. 

An  asset  to  every  theatre,  large  or 
small.  Can  be  attached  to  any  stan- 
dard projector.  Costs  only  a  few 
cents  a  day.

Better  Projection  Days 


Killing  Business 

IF  you  were  privileged  to  view  a  sublime  masterpiece  contrived  by  a  genius  in 
art  and  before  you  looked  at  the  canvas  you  smeared  your  eyeglasses  with  butter, 
would  you  be  getting  the  most  out  of  your  opportunity? 

This  question  arises  in  our  minds  as  a  result  of  recent  visits  to  smaller  theatres, 
some  in  New  York  suburbs  and  others  in  lesser  cities  where  the  pictures  were  good 
pictures,  but  because  of  poor  projection  the  entertainment  value  of  the  offerings  was 
reduced  by  more  than  fifty  per  cent.  In  some  cases  the  too  rapid  running  and  the 
bad  lighting  turned  entertainment  into  irritation  and  we  saw  people  leave  the 
theatres  and  overheard  their  expressions  of  dissatisfaction.  In  the  larger  theatres 
where  so  many  of  us  see  the  pictures  we  have  so  come  to  expect  fine  projection  that 
we  almost  take  it  as  a  matter  of  course. 


Is  there  in  this  day  of  advanced  excel- 
lence in  the  mechanical  devices  available 
and  the  almost  fool  proof  machinery, 
really  any  excuse  for  poor  projection? 
Only  a  short  sighted  policy  will  permit  a 
theatre  manager  to  abuse  the  eyesight 
and  infringe  on  the  patience  of  his 
customers. 

Projection  is  so  much  an  essential  part 
of  the  entertainment  value  of  motion 
pictures  that  showmen  have  every  busi- 
ness incentive  for  being  liberal  in  their 
expenditures  for  equipment  and  careful 
in  their  choice  of  apparatus.  We  are  con- 
vinced that  this  is  not  only  wisdom  in 
business  judgment  but  a  matter  of  actual 
necessity  if  a  theatre  is  to  retain  its 
patrons  and  meet  the  theatre  competition 
that  is  bound  to  enter  a  field  not  properly 
served. 

Every  theatre  in  the  land  should  be  so 
equipped  that  perfect  screen  service  is  un- 
varying. Three  projectors  are  advisable 
wherever  possible,  and  certainly  an  extra 
head  or  spare  parts  should  not  be  over- 


looked in  the  equipping  of  every  modern 
projection  room.  Thert  should  be  safe- 
guarding against  all  contingencies  and 
protection  for  all  emergencies.  This  is 
the  showman's  essential  cooperation  in 
the  entertainment  of  his  audiences. 

A  medium  picture  projected  so  that  the 
beauties  of  its  photography  are  evident 
is  better  than  the  finest  picture  master- 
piece so  poorly  put  on  that  the  customers 
are  annoyed. 

We  believe  the  day  is  not  far  off  when 
the  public  will  stay  away  from  theatres 
that  have  poor  projection  and  we  can't 
say  that  the  blame  will  rest  with  the 
public.  They  know  now  what  good  pro- 
jection is  and  they  are  not  slow  to  place 
the  responsibility  where  it  belongs — on 
the  shortsighted  or  careless  manager.

EVERY  THEATRE  NEEDS  THE 

AMERICAN  FILM-SAFE 


Now  installed  or  spec- 
ified for  all  Fox  Thea- 
tres, all  new  Famous 
Players  Theatres, 
many  other  large  and 
small  theatres.  East- 
man Kodak  Studios 
and  in  many  ex- 
changes and  labor- 
atories. 


The  new  Paramount 
Theatre  in  New  York 
is  equipped  with  12 
American  Film-Safes. 


BECAUSE  it  protects  films  and  surrounding 
property  against  film  fire  hazards. 

BECAUSE  it  provides  a  convenient  filing 
cabinet  for  films  and  keeps  each  film  instantly 
available  for  use. 

BECAUSE  it  is  the  only  film-safe  available 
that  has  been  listed  as  standard  and  labeled  by 
the  Underwriters'  Laboratories. 

BECAUSE  it  pays  for  itself.  Insurance  com- 
panies make  substantial  reductions  in  rates  for 
all  theatres,  studios,  exchanges,  etc.,  equipped 
with  American  Film-Safes. 


There  are  two  sizes 
of  American  Film- 
Safes.  Style  1100  has 
five  compartments  for 
five  1,000  foot  reels, 
designed  principally 
for  exchanges,  studios, 
laboratories,  etc.,  and 
iStyle  1200  for  five 
2,000  foot  reels,  de- 
signed principally  for 
theatre  projection 
booths. 


THE  AMERICAN  FILM-SAFE 

The  American  Film-Safe  is  a  neat,  compact, 
fireproof    filing    cabinet    for  films. 

It  is  made  of  full  cold  rolled  sheet  steel  with 
all  joints  tenoned  and  pinned  together  and  is 
practically  indestructible. 

The  safe  is  of  unit  construction  and  may  be 
added  to  or  rearranged  at  will.  Each  film  is 
housed  in  a  separate  fireproof  compartment  and 
is  suspended  on  a  film  carriage  which  auto- 
matically moves  forward  when  the  door  to  the 
compartment  is  opened.  Reels  are  always 
readily  accessible  for  handling.  Doors  to  com- 
partments close  and  fasten  automatically. 

Each  compartment  has  a  bronze  label  holder 
on  the  door  into  which  a  card  can  be  inserted 
so  that  films  can  be  catalogued  or  indexed. 

American  Film-Safes  absorb  abnormal  heat 
from  films  and  maintain  them  at  normal  humid- 
ity, thereby  increasing  the  life  of  the  films. 

Exterior  surfaces  are  beautifully  finished  in 
baked  enamel.  Interior  surfaces  are  thoroughly 
protected  against  rust.  Standard  colors  are 
olive  green  with  bronze  hardware  but  they  may 
be  had  in  several  other  finishes. 

Safes  may  be  purchased  on  the  deferred  pay- 
ment plan.

(~\  NE  of  the  most  important  factors  behind  each  B  &  L  prod- 
uct is  the  invaluable  experience  gained  during  three  quarters  of 
a  century  of  constantly  increasing  production  of  precision  optical 
instruments.  The  consistent  refinement  and  perfection  of  B  &  L 
Lenses  and  Instruments  resulting  from  this  experience  is  reflected 
in  their  acceptance  today  as  Standards  of  Comparison  in  their 
respective  fields.

Quiet  electric  VENTILATOR 


'Draws  Capacity  Houses 
Sven  During  the  Hot  Summer  SMonths 

Good  Ventilation  Makes  Good  Business — It  Pays 
to  Keep  Your  Patrons  Cool  and  Comfortable 


You  can  fill  your  empty  seats — increase  your 
box  office  receipts — and  draw  crowds  of 
steady  patrons  by  equipping  your  theatre 
with  a  Lakeside  Quiet  Electric  Ventilator. 
Its  low  price — easy  installation — simplicity 
and  low  cost  of  operation  make  it  a  profit- 
able investment  that  pays  big  dividends 
in  increased  receipts. 

The  Lakeside  is  equipped  with  a  specially 
designed  Four-Way  Air  Deflector  and 
sends  a  powerful  current  of  draftless,  de- 
flected air  to  every  corner  of  the  theatre 
that  forces  out  the  stale,  devitalized  air  and 
completely  changes  all  the  air  in  the  theatre 
every  few  minutes,  so  that  it  is  always  flooded 
with  fresh,pure,  healthful,  outdoor  air.  This 
cooling  current  of  fresh  outside  air — power- 
ful but  absolutely  draftless — will  please  your 
audiences  and  bring  their  steady  patronage. 


The  Lakeside  comes  ready  for  installation. 
It  requires  no  tearing  down  of  walls  or 
ripping  up  of  floors.  It  is  so  compact  that  it 
fits  into  a  very  small  space.  It  can  be  dis- 
assembled to  move  through  small  door 
openings,  and  installed  satisfactorily  in 
many  places  where  it  is  impossible  to  in- 
stall any  other  type  of  ventilating  system. 
Lakeside  Ventilators  are  easy  to  operate 
—and  trouble  free. 

The  Lakeside  costs  much  less  than  many 
of  the  complicated  cooling  and  ventilating 
systems  on  the  market,  yet  is  remarkably 
efficient  and  is  guaranteed  to  give  satis- 
factory results.  It  is  very  inexpensive  to 
operate  and  must  "make  good"  in  actual 
service  because  it  is  backed  by  a  reliable 
guarantee.  Lakeside  Ventilators  are  made  in 
different  sizes  to  meet  every  requirement. 


Write  Today  for  Catalog  —  Read  What  Users  Say 

and  let  us  give  you  complete  information  with  suggestions  of  an  installation  for  your  theatre.  Tell  us 
the  width,  length,  height,  and  seating  capacity  of  your  theatre  [also  whether  it  has  a  balcony  or  not],

DeVry  Camera  -  Holly  wood's  Own 


Director  Charles  Hutchinson  at  the  center  with  a  DeVry  Camera  on  a  tripod,  con- 
versing with  the  star,  Bill  Fairbanks.  "Hutch"  says — '  It  would  have  been  almost 
impossible  to  have  got  the  shots  we  did  without  the  aid  of  the  two  DeVrys  that  we 
had  on  the  job.  It's  impossible  for  me  to  go  into  detail  here  as  to  the  amount  of 
use  I  have  gotten  out  of  your  camera.  I  don't  believe  there  is  a  studio  or  an 
organization  out  here  that  hasn't  one  in  their  possession."

The  DeVry  Movie  Camera  has  already  outsold  every  other  professional  (35mm) 
camera  ever  made — the  reason? — its  astounding  accuracy  and  low  price,  $150.00.  It 
is  the  favorite  automatic  of  the  newsreel  men — Paramount  bought  25  at  one  clip 
for  newsreel  work.

Canadian  Gov't  In  Films 


U.  8.  Tax  Receipts 


SPECIALIZING  in  the  production  of  a  one  reel 
series:  "Seeing  Canada,"  the  Canadian  Gov- 
ernment, through  its  Dept.  of  Trade  &  Com- 
merce, has  operated  its  own  motion  picture  bu- 
reau for  several  years. 

The  Canadian  Government  is  interested  in  the 
general  development  ot  the  Dominion  as  a  touri  t's 
holiday-land.  in  this  field  of  endeavor,  the  films 
produced  by  the  bureau  are  doing  a  work  of  tar- 
reachmg  national  influence.  Canada's  tourist  trade 
in  recent  years  has  had  a  tremendous  development 
and  is  now  classed  as  the  fourth  industry  of  the 
Dominion. 

In  its  production  activities  the  Bureau  closely 
cooperates  with  other  Federal  (jovernment  depart- 
ments which  from  time  to  time  desire  motion  pic- 
tures produced  illustrative  of  certain  phases  of 
their  own  work.  The  Bureau  publishes  in  booklet 
form,  a  complete  list  of  film  subjects  produced. 
A  copy  may  be  obtained  by  writing  to:  Frank  C. 
Badyley,  Director,  Canadian  Government  Motion 
Picture  Bureau,  Ottawa,  Canada.

Film  Daily  Golf  Events 

With  but  a  handful  of  enthusiastic  golfers  a?  a 
nucleus,  the  "Semi-Annual  Film  Daily  Golf  Tourn- 
aments" was  inaugurated  as  an  institution  of  the 
industry  on  September  27,  1921,  at  Oak  Ridge 
Country  Club,  Tuckahoe,  N.  Y.  I  n  an  effort  to 
develop  a  spirit  of  sportsmanship  and  good  fellow- 
ship among  those  engaged  in  the  trade,  the  late 
Joseph  ("Danny")  Dannenberg  first  conceived  the 
idea  of  a  tournament  and  presented  his  plan  to  a 
group  of  representative  motion  picture  golfers. 
Their  support  was  enlisted  and  the  first  tournament 
held  at  Oak  Ridge.  A  second  event  was  held 
in  the  Fall  of  1921,  and,  following  that,  two  tourna- 
ments have  been  held  yearly.  Although  the  early 
events  were  only  attended  by  Eastern  film  folk, 
they  have  become  so  popular  that  now  film  golfers 
travel  from  distant  points  to  compete.

National  Board  of  Review  Activities  in  1927 


NATIONAL  BOARD  OF  REVIEW,  a 
trained,  volunteer,  disinterested  citizen  or- 
ganization, composed  of  over  300  people  re- 
viewing films  in  New  York  City  before  they  are  re- 
leased to  the  public,  with  associate  and  advisory 
groups  throughout  the  country.  The  Board  is  op- 
posed to  legal  censorship  and  favors  the  construc- 
tive method  of  selecting  the  better  pictures,  pulish- 
ing  classified  lists  of,  and  information  about  them, 
and  building  up  audiences  and  support  for  this  type 
of  product  through  the  work  of  community  groups, 
in  order  that  producers  may  be  encouraged  to 
make  the  finest  pictures,  and  exhibitors  to  show 
them,  and  the  people  ,in  general,  helped  to  make  a 
response  to  the  best  that  the  screen  has  to  offer. 

A  review  of  the  National  Board's  general  ac- 
tivities during  1927  follows: 

BETTER  FILMS   NATIONAL  COUNCIL 

Work  with  community  groups  is  conducted 
through  the  Council,  a  department  of  the  Board. 
Encourages  a  study  of  films  as  a  medium  of  en- 
tertainment, instruction  and  artistic  expression.  It 
brings  to  the  attention  of  the  public,  a  classified 
list  of  the  better  pictures,  listed  according  to 
their  type-of-audience  (age  and  group),  suitability, 
etc.,  and  cooperates  with  exhibitors  in  encourag- 
ing  support   of  the   finer  pictures. 

LITTLE  THEATER  MOVEMENT 

Besides  review  work,  and  activities  in  promot- 
ing   better    films,    the    Board   has    sought   to  en- 


courage the  Little  Photop'ay  Theater  movement, 
both  as  a  projection  of  the  better  films  idea  and 
as  a  means  of  enlisting  the  support  for  the  mo- 
tion picture  as  a  medium  of  artistic  expression 
of  the  great  potential  audience  that  is  still  dormant. 

MOTION  PICTURE  CONFERENCE 

The  Board,  since  1925,  has  been  holding  annual 
conferences  in  New  York  at  which  time  affiliated 
membere  of  the  Board  throughout  the  country 
and  those  working  on  the  same  principle  for  the 
support  of  better  films,  gather  to  hear  speakers  on 
various  phases  of  the  motion  picture,  and  to 
discuss   mutual   plans   and  prob'ems. 

"MARCH  AND  THE  MOVIES" 

As  an  addition  to  its  1927  conference,  the  Board 
compiled  a  pictorial  film  assemblage  called  "The 
March  of  the  Movies,"  showing  the  progessive 
steps  and  influence  in  the  growth  of  pictures. 

OPPOSITION  TO  CENSORSHIP 

Resolutions  opposing  legal  censorship,  which 
were  adopted  in  1925,  were  reaffirmed  in  1927. 

PUBLICATIONS 

Publication  of  several  better  fi'ms  magazines  and 
periodicals  continued  during  1927. 


928 


THE  UNITED  STATES  GOV- 
ERNMENT, through  Clarence 
J.  North,  Chief  of  the  Motion 
Picture  Section,  Specialties  Division, 
Dept.  of  Commerce,  extended  its  co- 
operation in  compiling  a  mass  of  data 
affecting  the  motion  picture  trade  in 
foreign  countries.  This  survey  of 
the  field  abroad  is  presented  on  the 
pages  which  follow. 

Major  geographical  and  economic 
divisions  of  the  world  have  been 
treated  separately  and  discussed  by 
the  countries  and  territorial  posses- 
sions which  go  to  make  them  up. 

Needless  to  say,  it  is  vitally  im- 
portant that  America  keep  abreast  of 
overseas  film  developments,  since  the 
progress  of  the  trade  in  the  United 
States  is  interlocked  so  closely  with 
events  transpiring  abroad.  This  sec- 
tion, it  will  be  found,  will  prove  of 
real  value  in  ascertaining  the  status 
of  the  industry  in  any  and  all  coun- 
tries and  will  provide  the  exporters 
with  a  thorough  analysis  of  world's 
markets.

The  Outlook  Abroad  for  1928 


/"VPINIONS  on  the  outlook  in  foreign  markets  during  1928  stress  at  least  two  im- 
v/  portant  points:  That  the  internationalization  of  American  pictures  must  be  developed 
further  and  that  quality  must  improve.  Quotas  and  restrictive  measures  come  in  for 
serious  discussion  as  well. 


.  E.  BRUCE  JOHNSON 
Vice-President,  in  Charge  Foreign  Distribution, 

First  National  Pictures,  Inc. 
To  my  mind,  the  problem  that  most  directly 
affects  the  American  industry  in  its  activities 
abroad,  is  going  to  be  the  question  of  European 
competition,  with  particular  referenc?  to  artificial 
assistance  given  to  it  by  Government  enactment. 
We  already  have  contingents  in  Germany  and 
Austria.  During  1928,  the  quota  law,  which  is 
virtually  the  same  thing  as  contingent,  goes  into 
effect  in  the  United  Kingdom  and  will  probably 
also  be  put  into  effect  in  various  other  parts 
of  the  British  Empire.  There  is  also  very  serious 
agitation  for  quota  in  France.  Wherever  these 
laws  have  been  enacted  or  will  be  enacted,  it 
means  American  exporters  will  either  have  to 
produce  in  the  market  concerned  or  buy,  for 
distribution  there,  local  pictures  that  have  been 
produced.  There  is  always  the  question,  with 
respect  to  the  latter,  whether  such  productions 
will  be  available,  and,  if  so,  at  what  price.  Not 
only  is  the  immediate  effect  of  such  laws  inimical 
to  export  business,  but  they  set  a  precedent  where- 
by there  is  established  in  the  hands  of  the  local 
Government,  for  use  on  behalf  of  its  own  picture 
industry,  a  flexible  weapon  that  has  practically 
no  limits,  as  its  scope  can  be  extended  to  prac- 
tically total  prohibition  of  import. 

The  thing  that  European  Governments  seem  to 
overlook,  however,  in  the  enactment  of  such  laws 
for  the  purpose  of  developing  their  own  industry, — 
get  the  point,  these  laws  are  not  enacted  so  much 
to  protect  an  already  developed  business  as  they 
are  enacted  to  develop  a  practically  non-existent 
business — is,  that  in  order  to  develop  the  business, 
experience  has  shown  that  world  markets  are  re- 
quired. Therefore,  Germany,  France  and  Great 
Britain  must  secure  markets  outside  of  their  own 
domain.  By  the  establishment  of  quota  or  con- 
tingent, we  are  face  to  face  with  the  situation 
in  all  principal  European  countries  enacting  such 
laws.  How  can  the  British,  the  German  or  the 
French  producer  develop  his  own  industry  if, 
in  order  to  get  his  product  outside  of  his  own 
country,  he  has  to  meet  quota  requirements  of 
other  countries,  which  means  he  has  to  either 
produce  on  these  other  markets  or  purchase  films 
there.  It  is  readily  seen  that  quota  laws  will 
defeat  their  own  purpose.

field  will  depend  upon  the  quality  of  their  product. 
If  America  is  to  maintain  her  present  position 
abroad   the  product   will   have  to  improve. 

You  have  seen  the  growth  of  the  foreign-made 
picture.  You  know  what  to  expect  from  the 
foreign  producer  in  1928.  You  also  know  that 
the  heads  of  the  leading  American  companies 
are  spending  more  and  more  time  at  the  Coast. 
Last  year  Mr.  Laemmle  bought  a  home  in  Cali- 
fornia and  spent  the  majority  of  his  time  at  the 
studios.  He  is  going  to  do  the  same  thing  next 
year.  Other  leaders  in  the  industry  are  doing 
likewise.  They  have  read  the  signs  and  they  are 
centering  their  guns  where  they  will  do  the  most 
good — out   on   the   lot    improving   the   quality  of 


their  pictures.  Nineteen  twenty-eight  will  take 
care  of  itself.

The  success  of  any  organization  engaged  in  the 
distribution  of  pictures  abroad  will  be  gauged 
largely  in  1928  by  its  ability  to  produce  pictures 
having  an  intelligent  and  international  appeal. 
There  is  at  the  present  time  and  always  will  be  a 
worthwhile  foreign  market  for  such  product  as 
can  measure  up  to  a  rigid  standard  of  entertain- 
ment which  will  appeal  to  the  discriminating  tastes 
of  the  tens  of  millions  of  motion  picture-goers 
throughout   the  world.

The  healthy,  sound,  fundamental  condition  of 
motion  pictures  which  today  exists  throughout 
the  world  is  based  on  the  increased  interest  of  the 
public  in  every  country  of  the  world  for  this 
popular  form  of  entertainment,  regardless  of  the 
nationality  of  the  picture.  Just  so  long  as  this 
condition  lasts,  the  motion  picture  industry  is 
standing  on  very  solid  ground  and  this  in  itself 
will  do  more  to  bring  about  universal  civilization 
built  on  Occidental  ideals  than  any  other  single 
agency.

ARTHUR  W.  KELLY 
Vice-President,   in   Charge  Foreign  Distribution, 
United  Artists  Corp. 

In  terms  of  the  medical  profession  I  would  say 
that  the  foreign  market  of  the  film  business  during 
the  year  of  1927  has  undergone  careful  treatment 
by  American  distributors,  with  the  result  that  the 
conditions  which  existed  in  a  great  many  spots 
in  the  foreign  field  have  been  eliminated. 

The  outlook  for  1928  should  be  healthier  than 
ever  before  in  the  history  of  the  foreign  film  busi- 
ness inasmuch  as  there  has  been  a  more  thorough 
understanding  as  to  the  needs  of  the  foreign  ex- 
hibitors by  American  distributors.  In  other  words, 
.the  American  industry  has  fully  awakened  to  the 
fact  that  what  is  one  man's  meat  is  poison  to 
another.  This  is  being  more  fully  realized  over 
here,  and  during  1928  I  feel  sure  that  the  foreign 
territories  will  receive  and  successfully  distribute 
only  such  pictures  as  measure  up  to  the  enter- 
tainment value  desired  and  appreciated  by  the 
various  countries,  and  which  must  ultimately  bring 
larger  grosses  for  individual  pictures  of  merit.

Unless  Hollywood  begins  soon  seriously  to  con- 
sider the  international  viewpoint,  the  present  posi- 
tion of  American  pictures  in  the  world  market 
will  be  greatly  jeopardized  by  the  competition  of 
international  pictures  produced  abroad.  American 
producers  as  a  whole  have  too  long  fooked  upon 
the  foreign  market  as  a  by-product  of  domestic 
distribution,  and  unless  the  psychology  and  the 
traditions  of  other  nations,  are  given  more  general 
consideration,  certain  very  important  foreign  ter- 
ritories will  soon  become  self-sufficient  for  domestic 
production.

some  American  pictures  has  developed  a  substantial 
prejudice  which  is  as  important  a  factor  in  the 
development  of  local  production  abroad  a?  is  the 
national  ambition  to  establish  a  motion  picture 
industry.  Unquestionably,  the  opposition  to  Am- 
erican pictures  we  are  now  feeling  in  the  markets 
of  the  world  would  be  substantially  overcome  by 
increased  consumption  of  picture  entertainment. 
I  look  for  a  tremendous  increase  in  seats  and 
box  office  revenue  in  virtually  every  foreign  ter- 
ritory in  the  next  few  years  in  spite  of  which,  I 
anticipate  a  critical  period  in  the  expansion  of  dis- 
tribution  of   American  prodjuct.

There  is  considerable  speculation  as  to  how  in- 
creased production  in  European  countries  will 
affect  the  market  for  American  pictures  abroad 
during  the  next  year.  Some  European  countries 
have  tried  their  kontingent  systems,  (this  idea 
having  originated  in  Germany),  and  now  England 
is  about  to  put  into  effect  its  quota  system,  which 
so  far  has  had  the  effect  of  developing  several 
new  production  units  for  British  pictures. 

The  German  kontingent  system  has  been  a  boon 
to  German  pictures  largely  because  German  pro- 
ducers have  satisfied  the  tastes  of  the  German 
public.  But  a  small  percentage  of  these  kon- 
tingent pictures  have  reached  the  theaters  in 
foreign  countries,  and  only  a  limited  number  of 
them  have  had  some  success  at  the  box  office 
outside  of  Germany.  The  kontingent  systems  of 
Austria  and  Hungary  have  been  a  well-known 
failure.  In  spite  of  all  these  kontingent  and  quota 
systems,  the  American  picture  will  remain  the 
backbone  of  exhibitor  requirements  in  all  countries 
of  the  world,  except  Germany  and  Russia,  for 
many  years  to  come.  The  test  is  to  take  away 
from  the  British  exhibitor  his  supply  of  American 
pictures  and  his  business  would  be  a  losing  propo- 
sition within  a  few  months. 

The  quota  system  will  stimulate  the  production 
of  a  limited  number  of  successful  British  pictures, 
but  the  number  of  pictures  that  will  be  produced 
that  will  fail  to  appeal  to  the  British  public  will 
undoubtedly  cause  the  failure  of  many  British 
companies,  and  therefore  the  success  of  the  quota 
system  is  still  in  doubt.

D.  J.  MOUNT  AN 
President,    Richmount    Pictures  Corp. 

The  outlook  in  the  foreign  market  for  1928-29 
does  not  seem  to  be  quite  favorable  as  that  en- 
joyed by  American  exporters  during  the  past 
year.  Our  principal  source  of  revenue  is  England 
where  we  probably  secure  50%  of  our  returns,  and 
it  is  only  recently  that  England  passed  the  much 
discussed  quota  bill,  which  provides  for  British 
exhibitors  showing  at  least  7Y2%  British  pictures 
the  first  year,  10%  British  pictures  the  second  year 
and  so  on  until  they  will  be  showing  20%  British 
pictures.  The  bill,  as  I  understand,  was  passed 
with  the  provision  that  British  pictures  coming 
under  the  quota  must  be  absolutely  British  con- 
trolled and  made  by  bona  fide  British  capital, 
with  cast,  staff,  etc.  75%  British.  This  precludes 
the  possibility  of  American  companies  producing  in 
England  to  fulfill  quota  requirements. 

The  passing  of  the  bill  has  given  great  impetus 
to  British  production  and  has  brought  into  being 
a  number  of  smaller  organizations  which  are 
floating  loans  to  the  public  with  the  idea  of 
producing.  I  am  somewhat  afraid  that  with  the 
added  interest  in  British  production,  coupled  with 
the  sympathy  of  the  public  and  the  apparent  readi- 
ness of  the  public  and  the  various  money  people 
to  finance  British  pictures,  we  will  have  instead 
of  7 1/2%  British  pictures  the  first  year  at  least 
20%.  This  percentage  will  materially  increase  the 
second  and  third  year,  which  obviously  will  elimin- 
ate just  so  many  American  and  other  pictures. 
In  addition  to  this,  we  have  the  most  active 
competition  from  Germany  and  France. 

Regarding  the  balance  of  the  foreign  world  there 
seems  to  be  very  little  change  within  the  past 
few  year?,  with  the  exception  that  Germany  will 
use   fewer  American  pictures. 


EDWARD  L.  KLEIN 
Presutent,  E.  L.  Klein  Corp. 

It  is  difficult  to  forecast  the  future  of  the  trade 
abroad  at  the  present  time,  and  to  analyze  the 
situation  in  each  particular  country  would  require 
a  separate  volume.  The  future  of  American  pro- 
duction in  England  and  Germany,  in  particular, 
will  depend  upon  the  number  and  quality  of  the 
domestic  films  produced  in  those  two  markets  and 
the  stringency  in  which  the  legislation  in  those 
territories  will  be  enforced.  However,  the  success 
of  American  productions  abroad  is  no  different 
in  reality  from  our  own  country,  for  good  box 
office  attractions  will  make  money  for  the  pro- 
ducer and  the  distributor  regardless  of  where  they 
are  made,  and  likewise,  our  better  productions 
will  be  welcome  at  all  times  in  the  foreign  markets 
where,  however,  there  is  no  demand  for  junk 
any  more  than  there  is  in  the  United  States. 

It  simply  behooves  the  American  producers  to 
produce  high  class  pictures  and  to  consider  care- 
fully the  foreign  market,  not  after  the  picture 
has  been  made,  but  during  the  course  of  prepara- 
tion and  production  so  that  the  American  films 
of  the  future  will  be  more  international  in  their 
aspect  and  thus  more  welcome  in  foreign  lands. 

BEN  BLUMENTHAL 
President,   Export   and   Import   Film  Co. 

The  foreign  outlook  for  American  pictures  seems 
to  me  to  be  brighter  than  ever  before,  owing  to 
the  fact  that  the  so-called  "home"  producers  in 
each  of  the  foreign  countries  have  become  more 
or  less  "fly-by-night"  producers,  since  they  are 
making  a  picture  now  and  then.  And  when  one 
producer  stops  another  company  is  formed  and 
makes  another  picture,  generally  a  bad  one,  which 
forces  theater-owners  abroad  to  look  for  a  guar- 
anteed output.  The  only  ones  they  can  get  on 
which  they  are  sure  to  receive  deliveries  and  a 
uniform  product,  are  the  American  pictures. 

The  independent  distributor  is  under  a  severe 
handicap,  as  he  is  required  to  furnish  a  better 
picture  cheaper  than  the  large  producer-distributors, 
and  in  certain  countries  the  large  American  com- 
panies are  renting  their  pictures  at  such  a  low 
figure  that  it  is  impossible  for  an  independent 
exchange  to  compete.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  there 
are  certain  countries  of  Europe  where  years  ago 
an  independent  distributor  could  count  on  selling 
his  entire  product,  but  now  conditions  are  such 
that  there  are  no  independent  buyers  who  can 
afford  to  purchase,  and  if  they  can  afford  to  pur- 
chase have  not  got  the  courage  to  compete  with 
large  producing  distributing  companies,  which  are 
working  on  a  theory  of  volume  and  "getting  the 
picture  played  at  any  price." 

*         *  * 

ALEXANDER  P.  AXELRUD 
President,  A.  B.  A.  Film  Corp. 

We  still  lead,  but  to  maintain  this  lead,  the 
producers  must  forget  the  old  standards  and  take 
into  consideration  the  psychology  and  correct  cus- 
toms of  people  in  the  various  countries  and  not 
dump  upon  them  the  stereotyped  American 
sweetened  melodramas.  Continental  producers 
recognize  this  great  defect  of  our  pictures  and 
are  forging  ahead  and  soon  enough  will  become 
contenders  of  note,  forcing  us  out  of  the  markets 
where  we  are  predominating  now. 

China  is  one  of  the  markets  that  is  worth  care- 
ful watching.  The  turmoil  hinders,  and  yet  the 
movement  in  a  way  is  contributory  to  quicker 
development  of  the  market,  as  the  new  China 
is  interested  in  the  western  world  and  its  methods. 
Of  course,  their  local  productions  are  growing 
in  number,  but  with  intelligence  and  caution,  Am- 
erican producers  and  distributors  can  still  succeed 
in  gaining  a  foothold  in  a  market  that  promises 
to  become  the  second  largest  in  the  world.  In 
Manchuria,  where  peace  and  prosperity  prevail,  the 
field   is  fertile. 

Germany  and  other  European  countries  are 
other  contenders  for  the  market,  and  also 
Russia  promises  to  appear  on  the  scene  soon. 
The  struggle  will  be  keen,  but  worthwhile.

The  list  is  made  up  of  exporters  of  American  pictures,  in  the  main,  although  some

Gov't  Aiding  Industry  Abroad 


THE  Department  of  Commerce  at  Washington  maintains  a  Motion  Picture  Section, 
created  in  1926  by  a  Special  Act  of  Congress,  which  endeavors  to  serve  the  industry 
in  every  legitimate  way  in  developing  exhibition  of  American  motion  pictures  in  foreign 
markets.  This  Section  is  headed  by  C.  J.  North  with  N.  D.  Golden  as  assistant  and 
there  is  furthermore  as  special  representative  of  the  Department,  George  R.  Canty,  who 
under  the  title  of  Trade  Commissioner  is  on  behalf  of  this  Section  surveying  markets  of 
Europe.  On  July  1,  1927,  the  Section  acquired  the  services  of  E.  I.  Way,  whose  func- 
tion is  to  canvass  the  opportunities  both  in  this  country  and  abroad  for  the  showing  of 
educational,  industrial  and  other  films  of  a  non-entertainment  character. 

The  Work  of  the  Section 


DETAILED  information  on  all  phases  of  the 
industry  covering  every  important  market 
abroad  may  be  found  in  the  Motion  Picture 
Section.  This  information  is  received  from  the 
51  foreign  offices  of  the  Department  in  the  chief 
capitals  and  commercial  centres  of  the  world  and 
also  from  the  more  than  400  consular  offices  of 
the  Department  of  State  stationed  abroad.  These 
reports  are  distributed  to  the  trade  through  the 
appropriate  associations  and  also  through  the  trade 
press.  They  have  been  found  to  be  of  great 
assistance  in  keeping  the  industry  advised  of 
conditions  both  with  reference  to  activities  of 
competitors  and  also  to  increased  market  pos- 
sibilities. 

Examples  of  this  reporting  service  lie  in  the 
publication  during  1927  of  special  bulletins  on 
"The  Chinese  Motion  Picture  Market"  and  ''The 
Market  for  Motion  Pictures  in  Central  Europe, 
Italy  and  Spain," — this  latter  being  based  on  a 
first  hand  survey  of  Trade  Commissioner  Canty. 


Early  in  1928,  a  bulletin  on  the  "Scandinavian 
Film  Market"  will  be  issued  based  on  a  special 
survey  trip  to  this  territory  by  Canty,  and  further 
bulletins  will  be  ready  at  about  that  time  on 
"The  Market  for  Short  Subjects  Abroad,"  com- 
piled by  Mr.  Golden  (to  be  issued  as  two  bulle- 
tins, one  on  Europe  and  the  other  on  the  rest 
of  the  world)  and  "The  Market  for  Industrial 
Films  Abroad."  This  latter  is  compiled  by  Mr. 
Way.  Other  pamphlets  will  appear  later  in  the 
year. 

In  cooperation  with  the  Commercial  Intelligence 
Division  of  the  Department,  the  Motion  Picture 
Section  is  in  a  position  to  furnish  lists  of  pro- 
ducers, distributors  and  exhibitors  in  all  foreign 
markets  and  also  lists  of  theaters-.  Through  the 
Division  of  Foreign  Tariffs,  it  can  supply  in- 
formation on  tariff  treatments  and  duties  on 
American  films  into  all  foreign  countries  and 
through  the  Division  of  Commercial  Laws,  infor- 
mation on  foreign  trade  marks,  copyright  and 
taxation  regulations. 


The  Future  of  the  Motion  Picture  Section 


It  is  hoped  that  before  the  close  of  1928,  the 
Section  will  be  able  to  maintain  a  trade  commis- 
sioner in  the  Far  East  with  similar  responsibilities 
and  duties  as  the  present  commissioner  in  Europe. 
The  Far  East  is  a  field  of  ever  increasing  im- 
portance for  American  pictures,  and  it  is  highly 
necessary  that  a  detailed  reporting  service  cover- 
ing this  region  be  made  available  to  the  industry. 
There  is  a  probability  also  that  a  representative 
will  be  placed  in  the  Section  whose  duty  will  be 
to  render  service  to  manufacturers  of  equipment, 
and  also  additional  personnel  to  handle  the  greatly 


increased  amount  of  data  requested  on  the  domes- 
tic field,  and  possibly  to  make  special  surveys 
along  such  domestic  lines  as  the  trade  may  desire. 

American  business  men  traveling  in  foreign 
countries  are  urged  to  get  in  touch  with  repre- 
sentatives of  the  Department  of  Commerce  or  the 
Department  of  State  upon  their  arrival  in  cities 
where  such  representatives  are  stationed.  They 
are  able  to  render  assistance  on  questions  of  trade 
and  commerce,  and  welcome  opportunities  to 
place  their  facilities  at  the  disposal  of  visiting 
exporters.  These  representatives  may  be  reached

It  is  suggested  that  if  American  business  men 
wish  to  communicate  with  these  officials  they  first 
get  in  touch  with  the  Bureau  of  Foreign  and  Do- 
mestic Commerce.  If  the  information  desired  is  not 
available  the  Bureau  will  obtain  it,  through  its- 
representatives  or  American  consular  officers.  In 
general,  the  transmission  of  these  special  inquiries 
through  Washington  often  saves  time,  since  the 
desired  material  is  usually  available  there. 


However,  those  who  desire  to  communicate  di- 
rectly by  cable  are  advised  to  use  "Amcomat"  in 
every  case  except  Calcutta,  which  address  is  "Am- 
comatch".  The  code  is  the  Western  Union  five- 
letter  code. 

Data  on  foreign  markets  is  again  presented  by 
the  FILM  DAILY  YEAR  BOOK  in  cooperation 
with  the  Motion  Picture  Section.  Readers  are 
urged  to  bear  in.  mind  the  rapidity  with  which 
conditions  abroad  change. 


A  World-Wide  Survey:  Europe 


WHILE  Europe  has  been  displaced  by  Latin  America  as  the  largest  regional  market 
by  quantity  for  American  films,  it  nevertheless  continues  as  it  probably  will  for  some 
time  to  come  to  supply  well  over  two-thirds  of  the  revenues  derived  by  the  American 
industry  from  all  foreign  sources.  This  figure  in  the  absence  of  any  official  estimates 
probably  runs  between  65  and  70  per  cent  with  at  least  45  per  cent  being  supplied  by  the 
United  Kingdom  alone. 


In  quantity  figures  American  exports  of  nega- 
tives and  positives  to  Europe  for  1927  should  reach 
about  65,000.000  ft.  or  a  little  over  3,000,000  ft. 
more  than  the  1926  totals,  but  far  below  the  86 
000,000  ft.  total  of  1925.  This  falling  off  in  quan- 
tity does  not  mean  fewer  pictures  are  being 
exported  or  that  less  money  is  being  made  on  them, 
but  probably  that  a  greater  proportion  of  negatives 
to  positives  are  now  being  shipped  abroad  with 
the  subsequent  printing  being  done  in  England  or 
on  the  continent.  It  is  significant  to  add  that 
this  60,000,000  ft.  total  for  1927  is  nearly  double 
total  exports  of  32,000,000  ft.  for  1913. 

Our  first  three  markets  by  quantity  all  lie  out- 
side of  Europe.    In  other  words,  the  United  King- 


dom, which  is  the  largest  European  market,  stands 
fourth  in  the  world  on  the  basis  of  the  first  nine 
months  of  1927,  as  against  first  in  1926.  Germany 
stands  second  in  Europe  and  sixth  in  the  world, 
and  Spain  has  moved  up  to  third  in  Europe  and 
ninth  in  the  world's  standing.  France,  which  occu- 
pies fourth  place  in  Europe,  is  the  only  other  Eu- 
ropean country  among  the  first  ten  markets,  her 
standing  being  tenth.  The  figures  for  these  three 
European  countries,  respectively,  for  the  first  nine 
months  of  1927  are  approximately  10,390,000  ft., 
7,800,000  ft.  and  6,000,000  ft.,  as  against  10,098,- 
000,  5,430,000  and  3,555,000  ft.,  respectively, 
for  the  same  period  in  1926. 


Theaters  and  the  Future;  Censorship 


There  is  no  evidence  that  the  number  of  theaters 
in  Europe  or  their  general  quality  has  changed 
materially  during  1927.  A  chart  on  another  page 
of  the  FILM  DAILY  YEAR  BOOK  will  indi- 
cate the  number  to  be  still  in  the  vicinity  of  12,000, 
with  most  of  these  still  not  much  better  than  the 
average  American  house  of  12  years  ago.  A  re- 
port from  Trade  Commissioner  Canty  to  the  Mo- 
tion Picture  Section  early  in  1927  indicated  the 
probability  of  about  160  new  theaters  in  Europe 
during  1927  with  a  total  of  about  200,000  new 
seats,  but  even  though  the  evidences  have  shown 
that  this  program  was  in  the  main  followed,  most 
of  these  took  the  place  of  theaters  long  outworn. 
There  are  signs,  however,  that  Europe  is  waking 
up  to  the  necessity  of  proper  showmanship  and  ex- 
ploitation and  as  her  economic  situation  continues 


on  the  upward  trend  will  concentrate  on  modern 
theaters. 

Central  Europe,  consisting  of  Germany,  Poland, 
Czechoslovakia,  Austria  and  Hungary,  with  Italy 
and  Spain,  together  form  a  very  valuable  market 
for  American  films,  American  pictures  making  up 
the  bulk  of  the  programs  in  all  these  countries. 

All  these  markets  are  capable  of  indefinite  ex- 
pansion, dependent  chiefly  on  a  greater  measure  of 
economic  prosperity  and  a  consequent  development 
of  exhibition  facilities. 

Central  Europe,  Spain  and  Italy  have  9,500 
theaters  or  slightly  over  50  per  cent  of  the  total 
for  all  Europe.  These  theaters  are  supplied  by 
382  distributors  located  in  the  larger  cities.  The 
home  industry  consists  of  227  producers,  whose 
combined  output  was  316  productions  in  1926.

The  popularity  of  American  pictures  in  Europe 
remained  relatively  unchanged  in  1927,  as  compared 
with  1926.  Showings  of  American  pictures  still 
command  an  average  of  at  least  75  per  cent  of  the 
screen  time  of  Europe.  In  certain  countries  there 
seems  to  be  a  slight  upward  trend  and  in  others  a 
slight  falling  off,  but  nowhere  is  what  can  be 
called  any  marked  change  in  the  relative  popular- 
ity of  American  films  as  compared  with  showings 
from  other  sources.  Germany  probably  still  sup- 
plies the  greatest  amount  of  competition  in  the 
various  markets  of  the  world,  though  not  nearly 
as  much  as  her  1926  totals  of  186  pictures  pro- 
duced would  lead  one  to  believe.  The  United 
Kingdom,  with  a  probability  of  over  60  features 
for  1927  and  the  early  part  of  1928,  as  against  23 
in  1926,  will  no  doubt  supply  greater  competition 
in  the  English  market  than  heretofore  and  possibly 


in  her  Dominions  as  well.  The  results  of  the 
British  quota  law  would  have  a  certain  effect  here, 
particularly  if  quota  agitation  spreads  to  the  British 
dominions. 

Censorship  conditions  in  Europe  changed  little 
in  Europe  during  1927.  Holland  tightened  up  her 
censorship  considerations  with  the  addition  of  cer- 
tain municipal  boards  and  Poland  increased  her 
fees  for  censoring.  In  general,  however,  no  new 
legislation  was  passed.  Europe  still  tends  to  be 
stricter  in  matters  of  censorship  than  the  United 
States,  but  this  is  due  chiefly  to  the  greater  vigi- 
lance of  European  censor  boards  over  scenes  in 
films  which  might  inspire  political  and  social  dis- 
content, such  factors  being  entirely  absent  from  the 
consideration  of  censor  boards  in  the  United  States. 
The  rivalries  of  the  late  war  as  shown  in  motion 
pictures  have  been  the  subject  of  considerable 
censoring. 


Few  Changes  in  Tariffs;  Taxes  Still  Heavy 


There  is  nothing  new  to  report  regarding  Euro- 
pean tariff  treatment  of  American  films.  Tariff 
changes  affecting  films  have  occurred  in  a  few 
European  countries,  but  these  have  not  been  up- 
ward to  a  sufficient  degree  to  act  as  any  obstacle 
to  the  admission  of  American  pictures.  Even 
though  France  has  talked  of  largely  increased  du- 
ties on  films  from  this  country,  the  question  of 
motion  pictures  did  not  enter  into  the  recent  tariff 
discussion  with  France.  Likewise  the  question  of 
royalty  value  as  against  invoice  value  as  a  basis 
for  duty  assessment  on  motion  pictures  did  not 
arise  in  any  important  form  during  1927. 

Taxes  on  the  film  business  continue  high,  par- 
ticularly in  Central  Europe.  Brief  reference  is 
made  to  certain  of  these  under  the  individual  coun- 
try headings,  but  it  is  impossible  to  give  a  com- 
prehensive, explanatory  outline  of  these  in  limited 
space.  A  recent  bulletin,  entitled,  "Market  for 
Motion  Pictures  in  Central  Europe,  Italy  and 
Spain",  compiled  in  the  Motion  Picture  Section, 
devotes  considerable  space  to  the  matter  of  Euro- 
pean taxation.  It  shows  that  these  taxes  are  high 
out  of  all  reason  in  certain  countries ;  that  they 
attempt  to  cover  every  phase  and  operation  of  the 
business;  that  they  are  imposed  sometimes  by  the 
national  government,  provincial  governments  and 
municipalities  alike,  and  that  when  the  motion  pic- 
ture producer,  distributor  and  exhibitor  has  paid 


one  thousand  one  tax  levies  on  one  thousand 
and  one  details  of  his  business  little  is  left 
over  as  profit.  The  same  comment  on  this  situa- 
tion as  is  contained  in  the  1927  FILM  DAILY 
YEAR  BOOK  is  applicable  here,  namely,  that  the 
development  of  the  motion  picture  business  in  Eu- 
rope is  considerably  hampered  by  the  variety  and 
extent  of  the  taxes  levied  upon  it. 

The  biggest  item  in  the  agitation  against  Ameri- 
can films  in  Europe  is  the  passage  of  the  British 
quota  law.  Detailed  reference  is  made  to  this 
elsewhere. 

(See  United  Kingdom — A  Survey.    Page  numbers 
in  Index) 

Austria  has  tightened  its  contingent  from  20  to 
one  to  10  to  one,  though  the  situation  here  is  not 
yet  settled.  The  German  contingent  has  been  re- 
placed by  a  permit  system  (see  Germany,  page 
960)  and  the  Hungarian  surtax  in  lieu  of  a  con- 
tingent is  still  in  effect.  Czechoslovakia  is  threat- 
ening a  contingent  law,  possibly  on  a  five  to  one 
basis.  France  is  seriously  considering  a  quota, 
limiting  importations  to  nine  for  every  French 
feature  produced.  Action  is  looked  for  early  in 
1928.  It  must  be  remembered  that  press  agita- 
tion along  this  line  line  has  broken  out  to  a  cer- 
tain extent  in  nearly  every  European  country, 
but  for  the  most  part  is  irresponsible  and  leads 
to  nothing. 


Latin  America 


LATIN  AMERICA  has  supplanted  Europe  by  a  wide  margin  as  America's  largest 
quantity  market.  Export  figures  for  the  first  nine  months  of  1927  show  that  over 
63,000,000  ft.  of  films  were  sent  to  Latin  America  as  against  about  52,000,000  ft.  to  Eu- 
rope during  this  same  period.  For  all  of  1926,  Latin  America  took  just  over  73,000,000 
ft.  from  the  United  States  as  against  10,000,000  ft.  less  than  this  to  Europe.  While 
Europe  still  leads  by  a  wide  margin  in  the  matter  of  revenue,  the  increasing  importance 
of  the  Latin  American  market  for  American  pictures  may  be  realized  in  view  of  the  fact 
that  in  1923  exports  to  this  market  were  only  1,500,000  ft. 


Argentina  is  the  largest  importer  of  American 
film?  of  all  the  Latin  American  countries  and 
stands  second  in  the  world  in  this  respect.  Brazil 
follows  close  behind  Argentina,  being  second  in 
Latin  America  and  third  in  the  world.  Mexico,  in 
spite  of  her  recent  economic  boycott,  still  stands 
third  in  Latin  America  and  has  actually  moved 
from  eighth  to  seventh,  as  a  world  market.  A 
striking  increase  was  shown  in  the  quantity  shipped 
to  the  We=t  Indies,  while  Cuba  and  Chile  continue 
as  stable  markets. 


American  films  average  nearly  90  per  cent  of  all 
shows  throughout  Latin  America  and  there  is 
little  evidence  to  indicate  that  this  supremacy  will 
be  threatened  in  the  near  future.  French  pictures 
have  commanded  a  certain  amount  of  attention  in 
the  Argentine  Republic  and  in  Brazil,  and  the  ex- 
hibition of  German  pictures  throughout  Latin 
America  was  slightly  higher  in  1927  than  in  the 
previous  year.  There  was  a  small  amount  of  local 
production  in  1926  in  Argentina  and  attempts  were 
made  along  the  same  line  in  Brazil  and  Chile,  but

IN  LATIN  AMERICA

this  seems  to  have  largely  remained  at  a  stand- 
still. Local  production  in  Latin  America  com- 
mands few  showings  even  in  the  territories  where 
the  production  takes  place  and  hence  could  hardly 
be  classed  under  the  heading  of  competition. 

There  is  no  agitation  against  American  films  in 
Latin  America  of  a  kind  comparable  to  Europe, 
but  there  has  been  noted  on  occasions  a  certain 
amount  of  dissatisfaction  at  times  over  the  way  in 
which  Latin  American  nationals  of  different  coun- 
tries have  been  portrayed  in  films  of  American 
origin.  This  condition  might  possibly  bring  seri- 
ous trouble  leading  to  the  banning  of  American 
pictures  in  any  given  Latin  American  country  and 
it  is  a  point  worth  watching.  Of  lesser  importance 
is  the  question  of  more  accurate  and  idiomatic 
translations  of  English  sub-titles  into  Spanish  or 
Portuguese  for  Latin  American  use. 

As  close  a  check  up  as  possible  indicates  about 
3,595  theaters  in  all  Latin  America.  Most  of  these 
are  antiquated  and  out-of-date,  but  it  is  signifi- 
cant that  there  are,  relatively  speaking,  as  many 
modern  theaters  in  the  commercial  centers  of  such 
countries  as  Argentina  and  Brazil  as  may  be  found 
anywhere.     Theater  building  in  Latin  America  is 


probably  proceeding  more  rapidly  than  in  Europe 
and  good  houses  are  spreading  rapidly. 

There  have  been  no  significant  changes  in  the 
character  of  Latin  American  censorship  which,  on 
on  the  whole,  inclines  toward  greater  liberality  than 
in  Europe.  Certainly  American  pictures  have  not 
fared  badly  at  their  hands.  In  a  number  of  Latin 
American  countries  the  censorship  has  been  more 
in   name  than  in  fact. 

Taxation  of  the  film  business  is  not  so  generally 
high  as  in  Europe,  but  is  subject  to  even  greater 
fluctuations.  They  are  for  the  most  part  reason- 
able, however,  and  do  not,  except  in  very  rare 
cases,  act  as  an  obstacle  to  the  development  of  the 
business  as  is  the  case  in  certain  parts  of  Europe. 
Customs  duties  on  films  into  various  Latin  Ameri- 
can countries  are  moderate. 

The  copyright  conventions  of  Mexico  City  (1902) 
and  Buenos  Aires  (1910)  grant  protection  for  films 
and  operate  between  the  United  States  and  most 
of  the  Latin  American  countries.  Film  piracy  still 
occurs,  chiefly  on  the  North  coast  of  South  Amer- 
ica, though  Venezuela  has  recently  concluded  a 
trade  mark  law  which  should  aid  in  protection  of 
films. 


The  Far  East 


THE  Far  East  is  rapidly  rising  in  importance  as  a  market  for  American  pictures.  In 
1913  less  than  4,000,000  ft.  of  films  were  exported  to  this  region,  while  for  the  first 
nine  months  of  1927  over  34,000,000  ft.  were  shipped  to  the  Far  East,  and  for  the  year 
1926  over  40,000,000  ft.  Australia  now  stands  not  only  as  America's  best  film  market 
in  the  Far  East  judged  in  terms  of  quantity  but  the  best  in  the  world.  Japan  and  New 
Zealand,  which  rank  second  and  third  respectively  in  the  Far  East,  stand  eleventh  and 
twelfth  as  world  markets. 


American  pictures  are  very  popular  throughout 
all  Far  Eastern  territories  and  occupy  nearly  95 
per  cent  of  all  screens.  The  single  exception  to 
this  is  Japan,  where  about  75  per  cent  of  the  films 
shown  are  of  local  production.  Even  here  all  but 
three  per  cent  of  the  remainder  are  from  the  United 
States.  This  Japanese  competition  incidentally 
does  not  extend  in  any  degree  to  other  Far  East- 
ern markets. 

There  are  about  3,000  theaters  in  the  Far  East, 
and  they  vary  widely  as  to  quality.  Australia,  for 
instance,  has  on  the  average  as  good  theaters  as 
exist  in  any  country  excepting  the  United  States, 
and  this  applies  in  a  lesser  quantitative  degree  to 
New  Zealand.  However,  in  the  Netherlands,  East 
Indies,  India,  and  the  like  most  of  the  theaters  are 
primitive.  In  general,  the  same  exhibition  condi- 
tions exist  as  in  Latin  America  with  reservation 
that  in  certain  parts  of  the  Far  East  economic 
conditions  are  lower. 

Tariffs  and  taxes  likewise  vary  considerably.  The 
former,  in  general,  are  considerably  more  moderate 
than  the  latter.  There  has  been  tariff  agitation  in 
Australia  and  there  is  empire  preference  but  this 
does  not  act  as  an  obstacle  against  American  films. 
Taxes  are  high  in  China  and  fairly  so  in  Japan, 
but  in  general  they  do  not  reach  the  level  set  in 
many  European  countries. 

The  censorship  problem  is  acute  in  many  sec- 
tions of  the  Far  East.  Hearings  are  being  held 
in  India  to  determine  the  effect  of  films  on  the 
natives  with  the  idea  of  tightening  up  the  censor- 


ship. There  have  been  repercussions  of  this  same 
feeling  in  the  Dutch  East  Indies.  The  idea  is  not 
that  films  in  themselves  are  immoral  or  unfit  for 
showing,  but  that  films  which  can  safely  be  shown 
to  European  audiences  exercise  a  far  different  ef- 
fect on  primitive  and  subject  races.  Mixed  in  with 
this  censorship  agitation  in  India  at  least  is  the 
idea  of  using  this  device  to  discriminate  against 
American  films  in  favor  of  those  of  British  origin 
and  thus  to  promote  the  showing  of  British  films. 
It  is  only  fair  to  add  that  this  idea  is  being  op- 
posed in  many  responsible  quarters  and  hence  may 
not  actually  be  put  into  effect. 

There  is  also  considerable  agitation  against 
American  films  in  Australia,  where  a  commission  is 
holding  hearings  which  may  result  in  some  sort 
of  legislation  modelled  on  the  English  quota  law. 
New  Zealand  also  is  feeling  this  influence,  though 
as  yet  in  a  much  less  degree. 

Few  cases  of  piracy  have  been  reported  from 
the  Far  East  during  1927  and  in  general  conditions 
are  satisfactory,  though  adequate  protection  does 
not  exist  in  parts  of  China  and  in  the  Dutch  East 
Indies. 

In  1926  there  was  quite  a  flare  for  production  in 
Japan,  China  and  India.  In  Japan  this  has  had 
the  effect  mentioned  in  a  preceding  paragraph,  but 
in  China  and  India  no  new  strides  have  been  made 
in  1927  and  it  has  hardly  as  yet  assumed  menacing 
proportions.  However,  it  must  be  remembered  that 
the  natives  of  these  countries  prefer  their  own 
films  if  at  all  capably  produced. 


The  Near  East 


TURKEY  and  Egypt  take  nearly  all  the  American  films  exported  to  the  Near  East, 
but  all  told  the  quantity  of  films  sent  to  this  region  is  comparatively  small.  Even 
so  it  represents  an  enormous  increase  during  the  past  five  years. 


943 


American  pictures  are  the  most  popular  through- 
out the  Near  East  with  French  pictures  coming 
next.  Their  showing  is,  however,  severely  limited 
by  the  general  lack  of  adequate  theaters,  of  which 
there  are  less  than  125  throughout  this  whole  large 
territory.  Theater  patronage  is  affected  likewise 
by  the  low  economic  status  of  most  of  the  in- 
habitants. 

There  is  no  agitation  against  American  pictures 


in  the  Near  East.  Likewise,  tariffs  and  taxes  are 
in  general  fair,  probably  the  former  more  so  than 
the  latter.  The  piracy  question,  always  a  perplex- 
ing one  in  the  Near  East,  may  be  partially  settled 
during  the  coming  year  by  appropriate  legislation 
in  Turkey.  As  it  now  stands,  there  is  no  protec- 
tion for  American  films  in  Turkey,  Syria  or  Pal- 
estine, but  even  so  there  were  fewer  cases  of  piracy 
reported  in  1927  than  in  1926. 


Africa 


rpHE  trade  in  Africa  is  largely  centered  in  the  Union  of  South  Africa.  Out  of  about 
6,500,000  ft.  of  film  shipped  to  this  continent  in  1926,  over  4,000,000  ft.  went  to  South 
Africa,  and  this  same  proportion  will  probably  be  observed  in  1927.  However,  as  nearly 
6,900,000  ft.  of  negatives  and  positives  were  exported  to  Africa  during  the  first  nine 
months  of  1927,  it  is  apparent  that  Africa  as  a  market  for  American  pictures  is  on  the 
increase. 


It  will  be  a  long  time,  however,  before  it  can 
be  spoken  of  as  a  market  in  the  same  sense  as 
the  more  economically  developed  regions  of  the 
world.  American  pictures  are  popular  and  there  is 
little  competition,  but  there  are  very  few  theaters 
to  show  them  in  and  comparatively  few  of  the 
natives  have  sufficient  money  to  go  to  see  them 
with  any  degree  of  regularity.  Indeed,  most  films 
are  screened  in  buildings  not  primarily  intended  as 
picture  houses.  This  does  not  apply  to  South 
Africa,  of  course,  which  has  many  up-to-date 
theaters. 

African  territory  is  largely  owned  by  or  man- 
dated to   England.  France,   Belgium,  Spain,  Italy 


and  Portugal.  Hence  the  tariffs  and  tax  regula- 
tions follow  closely  along  the  lines  of  those  in  the 
mother  countries.  They  are  nowhere  exorbitant. 
The  copyright  laws  of  the  parent  country  also 
apply.  Censorship  is  largely  influenced  by  the 
effect  pictures  may  have  on  subject  and  primitive 
races,  and  hence  anything  tending  to  lower  the 
white  man's  prestige  is  eliminated. 

There  is  a  threat  of  agitation  against  American 
films  in  South  Africa  and  other  British  African 
possessions.  This  has  been  largely  inspired  by  the 
English  quota  law  and  might  lead  to  similar  legis- 
lations in  these  territories.     It  will  bear  watching.

ed during  1927.  This  is  an  increase  over  1926. 
There  were  19  theaters  in  course  of  construction 
in  October.  The  tendency  in  recent  construc- 
tion is  to  build  houses  ranging  from  800  to 
1,300  seats. 

Theater  building  is  progressing  steadily,  not 
only  in  Argentina,  but  generally  throughout 
South  America.  In  January,  1926,  Buenos  Aires 
had  128  theaters  showing  pictures.  In  October, 
1927,  as  noted  above,  the  number  had  reached 
205.

AUSTRALIA 

Agitation — Early  in  1927,  Prime  Minister  Bruce  at- 
tended the  Imperial  Conference  in  London,  and 
it  is  very  evident  that  the  present  Federal  Gov- 
ernment's Royal  Commission  of  Enquiry  into  the 
business  of  Australia  has  arisen  out  of  the  dis- 
cussions which  took  place  in  reference  to  the 
fostering  and  development  of  British  production. 
The  commission  is  taking  evidence  around  Aus- 
tralia and  is  investigating  censorship,  possibili- 
ties- of  local  production,  duties,  and  the  gross 
sales  and  profits  arising  out  of  Australian  distri- 
bution, with  the  object  of  ascertaining  the  prac- 
ticability of  introducing  a  quota  similar  to  the 
law  in  Great  Britain.  Two  thousand  feet  of 
British  films  must  be  shown  on  each  program  in 
Victoria  only,  effective  July  1,  1927,  of  which 
1000  ft.  must  have  been  produced  in  Australia. 
Exhibitors  sidetracking  this  by  showing  news 
reels  largely. 

Censorship — Particularly  stringent  at  the  present 
time.  The  trade  is  advocating  for  reform  in  the 
administration  of  the  department.  In  place  of 
appealing  for  decision  only  to  one  man  (the  chief 
censor),  an  appeal  board  of  three  or  five  men 
representative  of  all  phases  of  public  life  is 
sought.  While  each  separate  state  has  the  sov- 
ereign rights  of  censorship,  it  is  only  recently 
that  Victoria  has  asserted  its  rights.  This  has 
introduced  a  new  hardship,  the  issuing  of  "B" 
(adults  only)  certificates  for  subjects  that  are 
considered  not  suitable  for  children.  Any  picture 
that  has  a  suggestive  theme  is  accordingly 
granted  a  "B"  certificate.  This  became  effec- 
tive on  July  1,  1927. 

In  1926.  there  were  1960  films  of  all  types 
censored;  1618  were  American.  Out  of  697  fea- 
tures censored  in  1926,  the  report  shows  649 
were  American,  24  English  and  24  from  other 
countries. 

In  1926,  the  censors  rejected  12.50%  of  Ameri- 
can pictures  and  16.66%  of  British.  In  the  first 
three  months  of  1927,  they  rejected  9.2%  Ameri- 
can films  and  42.8%  from  England. 

Copyright  Relations — Copyright  act  1909.  By  pro- 
clamation April  3,  1918. 

Competition — 82%  American.  During  the  year 
ended  December  31,  1926,  1960  films  were  im- 
ported into  Australia,  and  of  these  1680  came 
from  the  United  States;  198  from  Great  Britain, 
and    144  from  other  countries. 

Production — Approximately  10  films  have  been  pro- 
duced in  Australia.    The  most  outstanding,  being 


945 


"For  the  Term  of  His  Natural  Life,"  said  to 
have  cost  $250,000,  and  which  is-  doing  tremen- 
dous business  wherever  played.  Should  a  quota 
be  passed — and  there  is  considerable  likelihood  of 
it — production  would,  of  course,  be  stimulated. 
A  12 J/2%  quota  the  first  year  is  being  discussed. 

Taxes — Very  high.  The  duty  on  all  positive  film 
is  lj^d.  per  foot  (3  cents).  An  amusement  tax 
is  levied  by  the  Government  on  all  tickets  issued 
for  one  shilling  (24  cents)  and  upwards.  The 
rate  of  taxation  for  all  Australian  states,  with  the 
exception  of  South  Australia,  is  Id  (2  cents),  on 
every  shilling  ticket,  with  a  pro  rata  taxation  on 
every  part  of  one  shilling  above  the  minimum  of 
one  shilling  (1/-).  In  South  Australia,  the  taxa- 
tion is  just  double  this  amount. 

Theaters — 1,431,  as  follows: 

New   South   Wales   453 

Victora    412 

Queensland    343 

South  Australia    115 

Western  Australia    108 

The  number  of  admissions  to  picture  theater? 
(luring  1926  is  estimated  at  150,000,000  ,of  which 
children's  admissions  total  8%.  The  number  of 
employees  in  the  industry  was  approximately 
25,000'  during  1926;  40%  of  this  number  are 
women.  There  are  two  large  circuits.  Union 
Theaters  control  50  houses,  most  of  which  are 
key  city  houses.  This  company  has  under  con- 
struction the  first  atmospheric  theater  in  Aus- 
tralia :  the  Capital,  Sydney,  which  will  have  a 
capacity  of  3.000,  and  is  to  be  completed  early 
in  1928.  The  State,  Sydney,  with  a  capacity  of 
2,500  and  costing  approximately  $3,500,000,  is 
to  be  completed  early  in  1929.  Hoyt's  Circuit 
comprises  80  theaters,  seven  of  which  are  first 
run  houses.  The  Regent,  Perth,  has  just 
opened,  and  the  Regent,  is  under  construction  in 
Sydney.  This  house  will  open  early  in  1928.  A 
new  theater  in  Adelaide  is  also  under  construc- 
tion for  this  company.  Hoyt's  Circuit  also  con- 
trols 73  neighborhood  houses  situated  in  Sydney 


and  Melbourne,  and  there  is  every  indication  that 
this  company  will  continue  with  its  development 
policy. 

There  is  one  picture  house  for  about  every 
5,000  people. 

Sydney  and  suburban  points  have  90  theaters, 
while  Melbourne  and  its  environs  have  80.  In 
the  capital  cities  alone  there  are  300  houses.  In 
1926,  there  was  approximately  £25,000,000 
($125,000,000)  invested  in  theaters. 
Imports  from  U.  S.  A. — 

1923—  19,000,000  ft;  value  $780,000. 

1924 —  18,600,000  ft.;  value  $650,000. 

1925—  24,500,000  ft.;  value  $712,000. 

1926 —  26,188,320  ft.;  value  $725,510. 

1927—  21,122,980  ft.;  value  $548,374.

General — Australia,  in  area,  is  slightly  larger  than 
the  United  States.  It  is  divided  into  six  separate 
states,  with  a  total  population  of  6,199,994,  in 
which  there  are  1,431  theaters  operating.  The 
following  table  shows  the  division :

building  of  theaters  has  evidenced  itself  in 
neighborhoods,  although  this  applies  equally  to 
the  larger  provincial  towns.  Exhibition,  in  gen- 
eral, is  prosperous.  In  distribution,  the  compe- 
tition is  very  keen  because  of  the  excess  amount 
of  film  brought  in  during  the  year. 

The  number  of  employees  in  the  industry  in 
1926  was  25,000,  of  which  40%  were  women. 
In  wages,  the  figure  for  that  year  approximates 
£2,500,000  ($12,500,000). 

All  overseas  product,  American  as  well  as 
British,  has  been  subject  to  a  special  tax  im- 
posed by  the  new  defunct  Labor  Government  of 
the  Province  of  New  South  Wales.  It  is  a  tax 
of  five  shillings  ($1.25)  on  the  pound  (about 
$5)  on  all  money  paid  or  credited  to  foreign 
film  companies  and  based  on  gross  revenue  taken 
out  of  the  province.  About  $700,000  has  been 
paid  by  distributors  under  protest.  The  legality 
of  the  tax  has  been  fought  out  in  the  High  Court 
of  Australia  and  judgment  has  been  deferred.

AUSTRIA 

Agitation — Contingent  1  to  10  effective  Jan.  1, 
1927.  All  film  entering  Austria  must  have  an 
import  permit  issued  by  the  Vienna  Chamber  of 
Commerce. 

Censorship — Under  direction  of  the  Press  Bureau 
of  the  Police  Department,  plus  four  outside  ad- 
visors— one  teacher,  one  judge  and  two  welfare

the  same  rating,  these  being:  Sascha,  A.  G., 
Pan  Film  A.  G.  Allianz  Film  Fabrikation, 
Emelka-Concern.  About  14  pictures  is  the  total 
for  1927.  Germany  has  produced  about  10  fea- 
tures in  Austria.  Production  is  small  in  spite 
of  the  contingent  law ;  reason :  want  of  money, 
but  the  average  quality  is  generally  good  in  com- 
parison with  the  small  means.. 

Taxes — 

The  following  special  fees  and  taxes  are  levied  : 

(a)  Cost  of  import  license;  present  price,  $120' 
to  $150.

ment or  municipal  public  welfare  taxes  (unem- 
ployment fund,  insurance  of  employees  against 
illness  and  accidents,  pension  funds,  etc.K

Genera] — Austria's  contingent  was  changed  from 
20  to  1  to  10  to  1  in  January,  1927.  The  20  to 
1  contingent  went  in  effect  from  September. 
1925,  and  during  the  first  11  months  of  1926 
licenses  for  400  films  were  issued.  The  licenses 
are  issued  to  Austrian  distributors  and  as  the 
market  consumes  only  about  300  films  annually 
there  has  been  a  surplus  for  some  time.  A  good 
part  of  the  necessary  money  with  which  to  start 
production  is  obtained  by  Austrian  companies 
through  advance  payments  by  foreign  concerns 
for  advance  bookings,  together  with  money  se- 
cured by  sale  of  import  licenses,  whenever 
possible. 


9-17 


Maximum  rate  or  pay  for  picture  stars  ranges 
between  500  and  600  schillings  for  each  working 
day,  or  in  American  currency  between  $70  and 
$85.  Well  known  actors  and  actresses  get  from 
200  to  300  schillings  for  each  working  day  or 
from  $28  to  $43.  Austrian  exhibitors  face  most 
of  their  difficulties  because  of  exorbitant  taxa- 
tion.

General — The  field  is  being  developed  in  Bulgaria. 
In  1926,  the  number  of  theaters  increased  from 
48  to  116.  This  increase  is  attributed,  princi- 
pally, to  two  factors.  The  first  is  development 
of  a  greater  appreciation  of  pictures,  especially 
in  rural  and  provincial  regions.  The  second  is 
the  practice  of  importing  higher  type  films.  Be- 
cause of  the  small  number  of  films  needed  ex- 
hibitors and  renters  are  in  a  position  to  pick 
only  the  best.

Production — During  1927  about  75  features  were 
produced  by  native  companies.  Nearly  all  of 
the  Chinese  companies  operate  with  very  limited 
capital  and  inadequate  facilities.  During  the 
past  year  many  of  the  companies  have  failed. 
The  principal  producers  are:  Star  M.  P.  Co., 
Peacock  M.  P.  Co.,  Shanghai  Photo  Play,  China 
Sun  M.  P.  Co.,  Great  Wall  Film  Co.,  Great 
China  Lilium  Pictures,  Ltd. ;  Unique  Film  Prod. 
Co.,  all  of  which  are  located  in  Shanghai.  At- 
tempts have  been  made  to  produce  native  pic- 
tures at  other  points — at  Hangchow,  Hankow, 
Canton,  Hongkong  and  Tientsin,  but  they  have 
not  been  successful. 

Taxes — Wide  range  and  varied  in  different  parts  of 
the  country,  some  exceedingly  high.  Chinese 
customs  import  duty  amount  in  toto  slightly 
over  10%.  Films  shipped  from  one  domestic 
port  to  another  within  the  country  are  subject 
to  various  transit  taxes;  special  taxes  vary  from 
an  additional  5%  to  15%. 

Theaters1 — Approximately  125  throughout  country, 
75%  of  which  are  located  in  the  principal  cities 
of  Shanghai,  Hankow,  Hongkong,  Canton,

General — Although  theaters  have  been  established 
in  China  for  the  past  15  years,  their  growth  has 
been  exceptionally  slow.  During  this  period  op- 
erations have  been  confined  to  the  so-called 
treaty  ports  above  mentioned,  and  the  Crown 
Colonies  of  Hongkong  and  Macao.  One  of  the 
principal  causes  for  this  slow  growth  is  the  po- 
litical unrest  ever  since  the  revolution  of  1911. 
Until  military  warfare  ends  and  adequate  pro- 
tection are  afforded,  extension  of  growth  cannot 
be  looked  for.  In  the  first  ten  months  of  1927 
about  15  theaters  have  been  launched,  about 
half  of  which  are  in  course  of  construction.  Dis- 
tribution is  largely  in  the  hands  of  foreign  firms 
with  their  principal  place  of  business  at  Shang- 
hai, having  branches  in  the  treaty  ports.  With 
the  exception  of  Universal,  First  National  and 
United  Artists  all  other  companies  sell  their 
product  on  a  royalty  basis,  all  American  com- 
panies being  represented  in  one  way  or  another 
through  companies  which  operate  their  own  thea- 
ters. Universal  was  first  in  China  opening  an 
office  under  Norman  Westwood's  management 
in  1920.  Nearly  all  pictures  are  first  released  in 
Shanghai,  but  a  few  have  their  premieres  in 
Hongkong.  A  trade  association  has  been  organ- 
ized to  sponsor  better  pictures,  and  to  generally 
assist  the  industry  in  its  development.  Scenes 
of  violence  and  those  showing  the  use  of  fire- 
arms and  scenes  dealing  with  the  intermarriage 
of  whites  and  Orientals  are  unacceptable.

fringement is  not  only  a  civil  but  a  criminal  of- 
fense. Any  pirated  prints  in  circulation  prior  to

General — An  idea  of  the  difficulties  of  exhibitors 
in  Denmark.  Fifty  per  cent  of  all  amusement 
taxes  were  paid  by  picture  theaters  during 
1924-25.  During  this  period  a  total  of  8,500,000 
crowns  was  paid  into  the  treasury  compared 
to  7,600,000  crowns  during  the  previous  fiscal 
year,  an  increase  of  nearly  13%.  This  increase 
resulted  in  greater  returns  from  film  houses, 
which  paid  25  per  cent  more  in  taxes  than 
during   the  previous  year.

The  above  figures  are  taken  from  the  records 
of  the  Department  of  Commerce,  Washington.  D. 
C.  Paul  Schlatermund,  Universal' s  representative 
in  Egypt  and  the  Near  East  contends  these  figures 
ill'  not  convey  an  accurate  idea  of  the  exact  im- 
portation  of  American  pictures.  Practically  all 
pictures  shipped  to  the  Near  East,  he  states,  are 
forwarded  from  Europe  where  the  prints  are  first 
sent  and  then  re-distributed.  Few  or  no  prints 
arc  placed  in  the  Near  East  by  direct  dispatch 
from  New  York. 

General — Following  an  economic  crisis  in  March, 
film  conditions  were  bad,  and  with  the  large 
municipal  tax  imposed  on  exhibitors,  the  in- 
dustry experienced  difficulties.  The  censors  are 
so  rigid  that  they  find  it  necessary  to  retain 
prints  unduly,  causing  serious  losses  to  dis- 
tributors. Action  is  being  taken  to  force  im- 
mediate release  of  prints  upon  examination.

Copyright  Relations — 'None.  While  films  are  men- 
tioned especially  in  the  new  Finnish  copyright 
law  passed  by  the  last  parliament  and  signed

existing  between  the  United  States  and  Fin- 
land. Technically,  anyone  in  Finland  could  re- 
produce an  American  film  and  there  would  be 
no  legal  redress.  Finland  expects  to  be  ac- 
cepted as  a  party  to  the  Berne  convention  on

General — There  are  approximately  12  theater  seats 
for  every  1,000  of  Finland's  population. 

Gross  receipts  of  the  picture  theaters  were 
53,100,000  marks  in  1923,  57,600,000  marks  in 
1924,  59,700,000  marks  in  1925,  and  66,000,000 
marks  in  1926.  On  a  yearly  average,  each 
Finnish  theater  takes  in  about  440,000  marks 
and  each  seat  earns-  1,675  marks.  Counting 
eight  marks  as  the  average  ticket  price  it  is 
estimated  that  the  theaters  had  8,500,000  patrons.

FRANCE 

Agitation — Much  quota  agitation  by  producers. 
Higher  import  duties  will  probably  be  im- 
posed. Non-inflammable  film  must  be  used  in 
Paris  after  March  30,  1928,  and  the  rest  of 
the  Department  of   Seine  after  Dec.   28,  1928. 

Censorship — None.  Police  interfere  in  extreme 
cases.  A  commission  of  17,  including  prom- 
inent educators,  censors  all  educational  films. 
French  schools  have  a  Motion  Picture  Inspec- 
tion Committee. 

Competition — 70%  American;  565  features  ex- 
hibited in  1926  ;  444  were  American;  55  French; 
66    from   other   European  countries. 

Copyright  Relations — Established  by  Presidential 
Proclamation  July  1,  1891,  extended  April  9, 
1910,  and  May  24,  1918,  (includes  French  colo- 
nies, Syria  and  Lebanon). 

Production — Produced  68  in  1924;  73  in  1925  and 
55  in  1926;  100  expected  during  1927. 

Taxes — Very  high,  ranging  from  17.20%  to  40% 
of  the  gross  receipts  of  Parisian  houses,  and 
from  15.10%  to  31.25%  for  theaters  in  other 
cities  and  towns.  These  high  taxes  are  said 
to  be  the  chief  reason  for  holding  up  new  the- 
ater construction  in  France.  In  addition  to 
the  special  theater  taxes,  exhibitors  must  pay 
the  regular  taxes  paid  by  houses,  mercantile 
establishments  and  other  business  houses.

General — Discussions  over  a  quota  for  France  were 
periodic  during  1927.  Indications  point  toward 
a  final  disposition  of  the  issue  one  way  or  other 
early  in  1928.  A  certain  group  in  the  Cham- 
ber of  Deputies  agitated  for  a  quota  through 
the  year.  Hearings  started  in  October  under 
auspices  of  committee  appointed  by  M.  Herriot, 
Minister  of  Education  and  Fine  Arts,  for  the 
purpose  of  inquiring  into  the  condition  of  the 
industry  in  an  effort  to  work  out  some  plan 
for  extending  governmental  assistance.  The 
trouble  seemed  to  be  that  there  was  too  much 
divergence  of  opinion  among  the  leaders  of 
the  industry  as  to  just  what  they  wanted  the 
government  to  do  for  them.  The  trade  was  repre- 
sented by  Charles  Pathe,  head  of  Pathe  Cinema, 
Leon  Gaumont,  Louis  Aubert  and  Jean  Sa- 
pene,  Paris  newspaper  publisher  who  also  heads 
Cineroman,  considered  France's  largest  pro- 
ducing firm. 

Exhibitors  face  serious  difficulties  over  the 
measure,  postponed  many  times  to  allow  the 
industry  to  adjust  itself,  which  provides  for 
the  use  of  non-inflam  film  on  a  sliding  scale, 
first  commencing  with  Paris  and  the  Seine 
area  and  gradually  working  into  the  smaller 
cities   and  towns. 

In  Paris,  where  the  starting  date  is  April 
1,  1928,  the  new  law  is  expected  to  seriously 
interfere  with  smaller  exhibitor,  the  majority 
of  whom  only  can  use  old  pictures.  As  these 
are  printed  on  "flam"  stock,  the  predicament 
of  these  exhibitors  may  become  serious. 

Another  exhibitor  problem  concerns  taxes 
which  are  very  high.  Concerted  effort  was  made 
to  secure  lower  tax  rates.  Prominent  in  the 
movement  is  Jean  Sapene,  one  of  the  French 
industry's  leading  figures.  Tax  receipts  for  the 
first  four  months  of  1927  amounted  to  31,710,- 
000  francs,  or  an  increase  of  7,488,000  francs 
over  the  same  period  in  1926. 

A  survey  of  the  theater  field  by  "Le  Tout 
Cinema"  of  Paris  revealed  3,995  picture  theaters 
in  France.  There  are  4,098  theaters  in  France. 
Algeria,  Tunis  and  Morocco  combined,  according 
to  statistics  by  M.  Leriche,  theater  director 
at  Dieppe  and  made  public  at  the  Marseilles 
Congress.  Algeria,  Tunis  and  Morocco  have 
194.  In  the  total  are  included  422  halls  under 
patronage  of  clergymen  and  128  casinos.  "Le 
Tout  Cinema"  declares  Paris  has  180  and  the 
provinces  3,815. 

One  interesting  discovery  made  in  surveying 
the  theater  field  shows  that  only  70  houses  in 
the  provinces  seat  1,500  or  more.  Paris  has  but 
24  of  this  type. 

The  compilation  appearing  below  gives  an 
analysis  of  theaters  by  seating  capacities: 
Theaters  in  Paris 
Twenty-four  have  more  than  1,500  seats;  40 
have  from  1,000  to  1,500  seats;  81  have  from 
500  to  1,000  seats;  29  have  from  300  to  500 
seats;  6  have  less  than  300  seats. 

Theaters  in  the  Provinces 
Seventy  have  more  than  1,500  seats;  235  have 
from    1,000    to    1,500    seats;    1.127    have  from 
500  to  1,000  seats;  1,174  have  from  300  to  500 
seats;   1,209  have  less  than  300  seats. 

In  numbers  of  seats  based  on  population, 
Paris  is  far  from  holding  first  place.  Toulon 
comes  first,  with  93  seats  per  1,000  inhabitants, 
though  the  city  only  has  9,800  seats  and  105,- 
000  inhabitants.  Paris  has  but  45  seats  for  every 
thousand  inhabitants,  though  there  are  3,500,000 


people.  The  following  table  shows  how  the 
capacities   of   several    French   towns   vary : 

Per 

Inhabitants     Seats  1,000 


Bordeaux                      265,000  21,600  82 

Marseilles                     600,000  47,830  80 

Rouen                            125,000  6,150  49 

Lille                            210,000  16,120  77 

Strasbourg                     171,000  7,110  42 

Lyons                            524.000  18,300  35 

Saint-Etienne                 150,000  13,150  87 

Roubaix                         114,000  7,850  69 

Toulouse                      175,000  8,490  48 


Lourdes  which  has  but  9,000  inhabitants, 
counts  3,000  seats,  which  is  333  per  1,000,  the 
highest  proportion  in  France.  The  least  seated 
town  is  Lyons,  with  only  35  seats  per  1,000  in- 
habitants. Recognizing  the  situation  and  the 
possibilities,  perhaps,  the  Government  and  the 
trade  are  to  make  a  real  effort  to  establish  the- 
aters in  towns  of  5,000  population,  and  under, 
which  at  present  do  not  possess  theaters.  An 
estimate  places  the  number  of  these  potential 
houses  at    1,500.     This  was   the  plan   in  May. 

Gross  receipts  of  all  Parisian  picture  theaters 
during  1926  amounted  to  145,994,959  French 
francs  (roughly  $7,300,000),  an  increase  of 
28,551,135  francs,  or  24.3  per  cent  over  the 
total  receipts  for  1925,  when  they  reached 
117,443,824  francs.  Combined  state  and  poor 
taxes  paid  by  these  theaters  amounted  to  31,- 
975,568  francs  during  1926,  as  compared  with 
25,121,747  francs  during  1925,  an  increase  of 
6,853,821.

GERMANY 

Agitation — In  November,  the  German  Government 
made  public  new  import  regulations  which  re- 
moved the  one-for-one  "kontingent"  and  limited 
importations  to  170  pictures  over  a  period  of 
18  months  beginning  Jan.  1,  1928.  The  Gov- 
ernment placed  an  outside  limit  of  260  pictures 
which  may  be  brought  into  Germany  within 
that  period,  but  of  that  total,  90  permits  will  be 
held  out  for  disposal  as  the  Government  may  see 
fit.  The  rulings,  therefore,  reduce  the  possi- 
bilities of  foreign  pictures  in  Germany  to  170 
divided  as  follows:  85  in  1928  and  85  in  the 
first  six  months  of  1929.  "Kontingents"  on  the 
former  basis  will  be  issued  up  to  March  31, 
1928  against  German  films  placed  in  production 
by  Dec.  31,  1927.  Edward  G.  Lowry,  repre- 
sentative of  the  Hays  organization  in  Europe 
has  been  conferring  with  German  officials  in 
an  unsuccessful  effort  to  have  the  rulings 
lightened  since  they  seriously  affect  American 
sales  by  curtailing  the  market  for  all  foreign 
pictures.

Censorship — All  films  must  be  censored  and  the 
'censorship  is  governed  by  the  law  of  May  12, 
1920.  Censorship  is  controlled  by  authorities 
in  Berlin  and  Munich  on  a  basis  of  a  written 
application.  Their  decisions  are  valid  for  all 
Germany.  In  the  first  three  months  of  1927, 
59  German  and  104  foreign  features,  of  which 
71  were  American,  were  passed.  In  1926,  cen- 
sors reviewed  490  features ;  304  were  foreign- 
made  of  which  218  were  American  and  186 
German.  There  were  357  short  subjects  cen- 
sored ;  353  were  foreign-made  while  only  four 
were  produced  in  Germany. 

Competition — 60%  American.  In  1926,  there  were 
515  films  released.  Of  these,  202  were  German, 
representing  39%  home  production.  In  13  of 
the  principal  Berlin  houses,  German  films  oc- 
cupied 58%  of  the  playing  time. 

Copyright  Relations — Established  by  Presidential 
Proclamation  April  15,  1892,  extended  April  9, 
1910;  Dec.  8,  1910  and  May  25,  1922. 

Production — About  250  features  during  1927,  this 
figure  including  product  acquired  from  other 
sources.  In  1927-1928,  Ufa  will  release  36  fea- 
tures and  97  short  subjects'.  Other  schedules 
include :  Phoebus,  22 ;  Deutsches  Lichtspiel 
Syndikat,  17;  National  Film,  17;  Matador,  16; 
Fox,  15;  Emelka,  9;  Ifa  Film,  10;  Bruck- 
man,  11;  Aafa  Film,  9;  Deutsch  Nordische,  14; 
Defina,  15;  Albo,  5;  Ama  Film,  2;  Cando, 
3 ;  Hegewald  Film,  8 ;  Koop  Film.  5 ;  and  Ter- 
ra,  7.     Germany   produced    185    films  in  1926. 

Taxes — Motion  picture  companies  are  subject  to 
the  same  taxes  as  concerns  in  other  branches  of 
industry  and  to  the  special  tax  that  is  levied  on 
the  entire  trade.  Shows  at  educational  establish- 
ments, for  charitable  purposes,  for  sport  and 
physical  culture,  in  private  premises,  or  which 
are  arranged  by  military  or  State  authorities 
in  the  interest  of  the  public  are  exempt.  Tax  is 
levied  as  a  ticket  tax  when  admission  cards  are 
sold,  otherwise  in  a  lump  sum  according  to  fixed 
rates  or  as  a  special  tax.  The  ticket  tax  is 
15%  of  the  admission  price  but  can  be  reduced 
when  films  are  exhibited  which  were  passed  as 
educationals  or  as  films  of  high  merit  by  the 
film  department  of  the  Central  Institute  for  Edu- 
cation in  Berlin  or  by  the  Bavarian  censor 
board  at  Munich.  This  reduction  ranges  from 
12%  down  to  7%  of  the  admission  price  in 
proportion  to  the  ratio  which  such  educational 
films  bear  to  total  length  of  program ;  when 
more  than  nine-tenths  of  a  program  consists 
of  educational  films  the  tax  is  not  applied.  The 
lump  sum  tax  varies  from  10  to  15%  of  the 
gross  receipts  but  never  more  than  the  ticket 
tax ;  it  is  intended  for  use  in  those  cases  where 
admission  cards  are  not  sold  or  where  control 
of  the  sale  of  tickets  is  not  assured. 

Furthermore,  the  several  federal  States,  or 
with  the  approval  of  the  state  an  individual 
community,  may  levy  an  additional  tax,  though 
this  right  is  limited,  inasmuch  as  the  supple- 
mentary tax  may  not  exceed  5%  of  the  price 
of  admission  nor  be  less  than  2%  of  such  sum. 
The  ticket  tax  should  therefore  in  no  case 
exceed  20%  of  the  admission  price.  Nearly 
all  the  larger  towns  of  Germany  have  exercised 
this  right  to  go  beyond  the  normal  rates.  The 
maximum  rates  allowed — and  applied,  in  most 
instances — at  present  are  as  follows  (stated  as 
percentages  of  the  admission  price)  : 

Strictly  feature  film  programs   20% 

Programs  with  educational  films,  if  these 
make   up — 

One-fourth  of  entire  program   14% 

One-fourth  to  one-half  entire  program  13%

General— The  tax  situation  continues  to  be  ex- 
tremely aggravating.  A  number  of  meetings 
were  held  throughout  the  year  looking  toward 
a  course  of  action.  German  theaters  took  in  at 
the  box-office  about  240,000.000  marks  in  1926 
Of  this  amount,  about  25%  was  paid  out  in 
rentals.  At  a  meeting  of  the  leaders  of  all 
branches  of  the  industry  held  in  Berlin  in  July 
it  was  decided  to  petition  the  Government  to  ex- 
empt from  taxation  all  tickets  sold  at  two 
marks  or  less,  and  to  limit  the  tax  on  tickets 
sold  for  more  than  two  marks  to  10  per  cent 
Theater  owners  of  Berlin  decided  to  submit  to 
different  branches  of  the  German  trade,  a  new 
and  fixed  tariff  of  admission  prices,  as  one 
way  out.  In  this  schedule,  the  lowest  admis- 
sion to  be  charged  would  be  60  pfenning,  (about 
15  cents)  applicable  to  small  houses,  while  admis- 
sion to  the  first  runs  would  reach  one  mark. 

Within  the  trade,  perhaps  the  most  important 
deveopment  aside  from  the  change  in  quota 
regulations  explained  under  "Agitation,"  was  the- 
purchase   of    Ufa    by    Dr.    Alfred  Hugenberg

powerful  newspaper  owner  and  head  of  the  Na- 
tionalist (political)  Party.  By  the  end  of  1927, 
Ufa  evidenced  signs  of  putting  behind  it  much 
of  the  lethargy  which  marked  its  course  through- 
out the  year.  Erich  Pommer,  former  producing 
head,  returned  to  Berlin  to  supervise  four  pic- 
tures for  1928,  all  of  them  to  be  aimed  at  the 
American  market. 

In  August,  Ludwig  Klitsch,  managing  director 
of  Ufa,  came  to  New  York  to  discuss  with 
Paramount  and  M-G-M  the  terms  of  the  Parufa- 
met  contract  which  associates  the  three  com- 
panies in  German  distribution.  The  conferences 
ended  in  adjustments  described  as  satisfactory 
to  all  three  parties.  As-ide  from  the  limited 
number  of  Ufa  productions  which  Paramount 
and  M-G-M  will  distribute  in  the  United  States, 
the  German  company  intends  opening  e  ght  or 
ten  key  city  exchanges  in  America  to  distribute 
features  and  short  subjects.  By  spring  of  1928 
this  plan  will  probably  bear  fruition. 

Fanamet,  the  tri-cornered  combination  formed 
by  First  National,  M-G-M  and  Paramount  to 
handle  sales  jointly  in  Central  Europe  with  the 
exception  of  Germany  and  controlled  from  Ber- 
lin, will  disband  on  Sept.  1,  1928.  The  move 
is  mutual  and  was  agreed  upon  in  New  York. 

All  three  companies  will  resume  selling  on  a 
separate  basis.  The  unit  which  was  formed  in 
April,  1926  resulted  in  opening  exchanges 
in  Czechoslovakia,  Greece,  Roumania,  Poland 
Jugoslavia,  Hungary,  Turkey  and  other  Balkan 
countries.  The  purposes  were  the  reduction  of 
distribution  overhead  which  had  steadily  mounted 
in  these  small  but  unproductive  nations  and  the 
elimination  of  dumping.  In  the  first  fiscal 
year  Fanamet  lost  $85,000.  The  difficulties 
attendant  upon  the  sale  of  three  major  lines 
of  pictures  increased  as  months  went  by.  These 
are  some  of  the  circumstances  which  led  to  the 
decision  to  disband. 

In  August,  the  Reichsamt  of  Statistics  com- 
pleted a  survey  of  the  German  industrial  situa- 


tion, including  the  film  industry  and  its  allied 
fields-.  The  bureau's  investigation  revealed  that 
nearly  47,587  people  are  employed  in  the  film 
industry.

General — -The  industry  in  Greece  has  developed  with 
rapidity  during  the  last  three  or  four  years. 
Business  has  been  hampered  through  the  very 
unstable  interior  political  situation,  through  the 
extremely  high  taxes  and  through  the  decline  of 
the  Greek  currency  since  the  war  against  Tur- 
key, which  ended  disastrously  for  Greece. 

Theaters  operate  under  difficulty,  since  ap- 
pointment of  a  council  named  by  the  police  au- 
thorities for  passing  on  all  license  applications. 
Theater  owners  are  to  be  required,  under  penalty 
of  license  revocation,  to  exhibit  a  short  film  fea- 
turing events  of  Greek  history  or  containing 
topics  of  national  interest.  No  children  under 
ten  will  be  allowed  in  theaters  and  those  between 
10  and  15  only  when  accompanied  by  parent.

Censorship — New  censorship  law  in  effect  Jan.  1, 
1928.  Considerable  agitation  against  this  law  as 
the  municipal  censors  can  prohibit  showing  of  a 
film  after  the  state  censor  has  approved  it.

1927—  13.976  ft.;  value  $  412. 

General — Unless  changes  in  the  new  censorship  law 
are  made  by  the  government,  much  confusion  is 
expected  when  the  board  begins  operating.  The 
principal  objection  arises  from  the  fact  that  while 
the  law  provides  for  a  national  censorship,  vari- 
ous municipalities  retain  their  right  to  re-censor 
pictures  which,  despite  approval  by  the  state 
board,  may  still  be  refused  exhibition  in  the 
municipalities. 

Exhibitors  and  distributors  also  object  to  the 
central  headquarters  of  the  commission,  which 
are  to  be  at  The  Hague.  The  trade  wants  the 
board  located  in  Amsterdam  because  this  city  is 
the  center  of  film  activities.

ate  censorship  in  India.

censors  at  Bombay,  Calcutta,  Madras  and  Ran- 
goon but  it  is  proposed  to  have  one  central 
board.  A  committee  is  shortly  to  be  appointed 
to  go  into  this  question  as  well  as  into  the 
question  of  encouragement  to  British  and  Indian- 
made  films.  Bengal  board  very  strict ;  738  films 
passed  in  1926.

General — Tn  (October,  the  Indian  Government  ap- 
pointed a  committee  to  tour  India  and  Burma  to 
collect  information  on  the  industry,  with  particu- 
lar reference  to  the  moral  influence  exerted  by 
various  types  of  films.  It  is  said  that  the  Govern- 
ment will  pass  a  measure  by  which  all  sex  films 
and  serials  wiil  be  permanently  banned.  Possi- 
bility of  the  establishment  of  an  Indian  monop- 
oly of  films  loomed  in  December  as  a  result 
of  the  activities  of  the  Indian  Kinematograph 
Inquiry,  sitting  in  various  Iudian  cities. 

India  may  expect  to  see,  a  considerable  ad- 
vance in  the  standard  of  theater  operation,  accord- 
ing to  J.  J.  Madan,  who  returned  to  Calcutta 
in  August,  following  a  tour  through  America 
and  Europe  of  16  months.  Madan  is  head  of 
Madan  Theaters,  Ltd.,  one  of  the  important 
Indian  chains  and  is  also  interested  in  domes- 
tic production  and  distribution.

Agitation — On  Oct.  1,  1927,  a  quota  law  became 
effective.  It  provides  that  one  Italian  film  must 
be  shown  for  every  ten  foreign.  A  movement 
is  on  to  persuade  the  government  to  set  aside  the 
taxes  collected  on  admission  tickets,  amounting 
to  20%  for  the  benefit  of  prod-i;ers.  This  when 
the  theater  shows  Italian  films. 

Censorship — Local ;  generally  liberal.  There  are 
two  censorship  commissions,  the  higher  composed 
of  officials  of  the  Ministry  of  the  Interior,  which 
hears  appeals  taken  from  the  rulings  .if  the  reg- 
ular commission.  The  Minister  of  the  Interior 
is  the  final  authority.    The  fees  for  permits  are: 

0.  30  centisimi  per  meter  for  each  film  exanvned, 
120  lire  additional  per  film  and  two  lire  for  caoh 
permit.  If  a  permit  is  not  granted,  all  pay- 
ments are  forfeited  without  appeal.  The  com- 
mission may  approve  a  film  conditionally,  requir- 
ing certain  scenes  or  titles  to  De  altered.  If  lhis 
alteration  is  not  complied  with,  the  film  is  con- 
fiscated and  the  exhibitor  incurs  a  penalty. 

Competition — 75%  American. 

Copyright     Relations — Special     convention  signed 

Oct.  15,  1912,  gives  copyright  protection. 
Production — Three  units  :     Pittaluga,  Palermi  and 

1.  C.  S.  A.  Ten  pictures  produced  in  1926,  five 
in  1927.    Six  studios  in  the  country. 

Taxes — Quite  high. 

Theaters — According  to  report  there  are  3,250  thea- 
ters in  Italy,  but  this  comprises  practically  all 
halls  in  which  a  projection  machine  is  installed. 
It  is  authoritatively  recorded,  however,  that  there 
are  less  than  2.000  theaters  in  Italy  running  pic- 
tures- exclusively,  with  a  few  hundred  of  these 
operating  but  part  of  the  week,  usually  on  Wed- 
nesday, Saturday,  and  Sunday  nights.  About  40 
are  located  in  Rome.  There  are  about  50  first 
run  houses  in  the  country.  About  600  may  be 
considered  important.    The  others  are  very  small.

General — Stefano  Pittaluga  is  the  dominant  busi- 
ness factor  in  the  Italian  film  industry.  Incor- 
porated with  his  own  company,  known  as  the 
Pittaluga  Society,  are  the  following  companies, 
which  comprise  practically  every  unit  of  impor- 
tance in  the  country :  Unione  Cinematografica 
Italiana  of  Rome,  Societa  Anonima  Leoni  Films 
of  Milan,  Sindicato  Cinematografico  Veneto  of 
Venice,  Societa  Anonima  Cinematogr.ifi  tf  fuiin 
and  others  of  lesser  importance.  As  a  result  of 
these  deals  Pittaluga,  who  operates  about  100 
theaters  of  his  own,  makes  the  assertion  that  he 
is  in  control  of  between  1,000  and  1,500  more. 
American  distributors  have  felt  the  effects  of  the 
Pittaluga  operations.  Some  have  retired  from 
the  country,  while  others  are  maintaining  their 
office?  but  have  made  distributing  arrangements 
with  Pittaluga. 

The  Fascist  movement  has  enrolled  practically 
the  entire  industry.  Those  Italian  theaters  which 
previously  functioned  under  their  own  trade  or- 
ganization have  been  enrolled  in  the  Fascist  divi- 
sion, which  embraces  all  major  branches  of  the 
business.     Even  laboratories  are  members. 

Based  on  an  estimate  of  3,000,  Italian  theaters 
gross  about  2,107,200,000  lire  per  year,  accord- 
ing to  the  "Economia  Nazionale,"  a  new  Italian 
economic  review. 

Italy's  theaters  are  divided  into  three  sections 
by  this  publication.  In  the  first  class  are  50; 
in  the  second,  950,  and  in  the  third,  2,000.  Esti- 
mated receipts  are  as  follows :

General — What  with  the  closing  of  theaters  dur- 
ing the  period  of  mourning  for  the  late  Em- 
peror, and  the  general  financial  crisis  which 
followed,  exhibitors  have  been  hit  hard.  Japan- 
ese exhibitors  are  fair  in  dealings  with  distri- 
butors. If  too  much  is  asked  for  rental,  the  ex- 
hibitor will  not  bxker,  but  will  strive  to  arrive 
at  a  fair  arrangement.  Percentage  is  adopted  in 
most  cases.  In  Japan,  there  are  two  kinds  of 
theaters :  'domestic'  and  'foreign,'  the  former 
playing  only  Japanese  pictures,  while  'foreign' 
nouses  screen  imported  product.  This  system 
is  breaking  through  in  many  instances,  but  is 
not  expected  to  be  abolished  entirely.  The 
'domestic'  houses  represent  about  60%  of  the 
total  in  operation,  while  'foreign'  house?  and 
those  playing  American  and  Japanese  productions 
constitute  the  remainder.  January.  October  and 
April  are,  in  the  order  named,  the  three  best 
months  of  the  year  for  exhibitors.  January  is 
'joy  month,'  the  greater  part  of  which  is  spent 
entertaining,  in  revelry  and  at  theaters. 

Domestic  production  totals  700  feature?  yearly.

JUGOSLAVIA  AND  ALBANIA 

Agitation — Movement  on  for  a  quota  system. 

Censorship — -None  officially.  Police  authorities  em- 
ploy the  usual  police  power  to  prohibit  objec- 
tionable pictures.  A  commission  at  Zagreb  cen- 
sors all  films  entering  the  kingdom.  Censorship 
very  liberal. 

Competition — 50%  American;  German,  30%,  and 

French  films,  20%. 
Copyright   Relations — No  copyright  law  exists. 
Production — None.     A  few  of  the  most  important 

distributors  have  laboratories  for  the  insertion  of 

Serbian  titles  on  imported  films. 


Taxes — Very  high.  Recent  Jugoslavia  finance  law 
places  a  tax  of  three  dinars  (about  4.50  cents) 
per  meter  on  all  imported  films  except  educa- 
tional and  scientific  films. 

Theaters — 273.    Belgrade,  8;  Zagreb,  6. 

Imports  from  U.  S.  A. — 

1924—  5,000  ft.;  value  $  500. 

1925 —  100,000  ft.;  value  $  2,500. 

1926—  704,680  ft.;  value  $17,119. 

1927—  685,253  ft.;  value  $13,225. 
Exports  to  U.  IS.  A. — 

1923—2,500  ft. ;  value  $175. 

General — With  12,000,000  inhabitants,  Jugoslavia 
has  only  273  theaters  with  86,630  seats,  or  an 
average  of  317  seats  per  theater  and  one  house 
to  every  44,000  people.  Belgrade,  the  capital 
city,  has  eight  theaters  with  a  total  capacity  of 
6,100,  serving  112,000  inhabitants.  More  than 
41,529,000  dinars  were  collected  by  the  govern- 
ment from  film  theaters  as  taxes  during  1926, 
representing  more  than  half  of  the  70,000,000 
dinars  gross  receipts  of  all  theaters.  The  dinar 
is  worth  about  1.75  cents  American.  Taxes  are 
so  high  that  a  general  closing  of  all  theaters  is 
expected  unless  immediate  action  is  taken  by  the 
government.

General — Increased  duties  on  general  commodities. 
A  nroposed  5%  gold  tax  on  imports,  the  special 
health  stamp,  and  the  higher  internal  revenue 
taxes  on  alcohol  and  tobacco  manufacturers  have 
reacted  on  Mexican  business,  which  has  become 
more  irregular  and  disorganized.  This,  auto- 
matically, reacts  at  theaters. 

Misrepresentation  of  Mexican  characteristics  in 
American  pictures1  continue  to  create  difficulties 
with  Mexican  officialdom.  That  nation  is  ex- 
tremely sensitive  over  the  question.  All  Ameri- 
can pictures  are  carefully  watched  for  objection- 
able material.  During  the  year,  the  Mexican  Em- 
bassy at  Washington  asked  producers  to  make 
changes  in  a  number  of  pictures,  but  generally 
the  outlook  for  American  pictures  in  Mexico  is 
strained  in  view  of  these  circumstances.  In  Au- 
gust, the  Mexican  government  barred  films  of 
19  American  companies  and,  although  most  of 
them  are  now  out  of  business,  such  action  taken 
on  a  wholesale  scale  is  indicative  of  the  feeling 
that  prevails.

NEW  ZEALAND 

Agitation — Considerable  agitation  for  the  screen- 
ing of  more  British  pictures,  and  also  for  stricter 
censorship.    A  200%  increase  in  duty  on  foreign 


film  was  recently  imposed,  but  has  now  been  re- 
duced to  the  original  amount;  Id  (two  cents) 
per  foot.  Legislation  has  been  introduced  provid- 
ing for  a  quota  of  British  films,  similar  to  that 
of  the  British  bill.  It  is  probable  that  legislation 
providing  for  increased  taxation  of  distributing 
companies  will  also  be  introduced  shortly. 
Censorship — Local.  Single  censor  with  Board  of 
Appeal. 

Competition — 90%  American. 

Copyright  Relations — Copyright  Act  of  1909.  By

Production — One  company,  producing  at  inter- 
mittent period.  New  Zealand  Government  pro- 
duces 1000  ft.  scenics  weekly. 

Taxes — At  present  moderate,  but  likely  to  be  in- 
creased.

General — Two  companies  have  been  formed  to 
distribute  British  film,  with  registered  capital 
of  £15,000  and  £6,000  respectively.  One  com- 
pany has  been  unable  to  secure  a  regular  supply 
of  film,  and  has  now  commenced  distributing  a 
number  of  foreign  pictures.  The  other  company 
has  only  recently  been  formed,  and  at  the  end 
of  1927  had  only  four  pictures  to  distribute.  The 
opinion  of  exhibitors  is  that  a  regular  supply 
of  good'  American  film  is  essential.  The  Films 
Bill  introduced  may  contain  a  provision  prevent- 
ing what  is  known  as  block  booking,  and  limit- 
ing contracts  to  six  months  in  advance.  The 
quota  of  British  film  for  the  first  year  (1930) 
will  probably  be  5%,  rising  by  214%  per  annum 
to  20%. 

This  action  is  the  termination  of  a  long 
and  bitter  attack  on  American  pictures  which 
first  became  acrimonious  in  1926.

General— American  films  entering  Poland  are  now 
given  protection  of  the  Polish  copyright  law  of 
1926.  The  department  had  been  negotiating  with 
the  Polish  Government  for  some  time  in  an  effort 
to  secure  a  reciprocal  copyright  agreement,  as  a 
result  of  the  piracy  of  American  films  in  Poland, 
which  a  year  ago  caused  considerable  trouble  to 
American  producers.  The  deliberations  were  con- 
cluded in  February,  1927. 

At  a  recent  film  exhibition  it  was  revealed 
that  Poland's  428  picture  houses  played  to  37,- 
000,000  people  during  1926.  The  situation  con- 
tinues critical  owing  to  high  taxation,  which  has 
forced  many  exhibitors  out  of  business.  In 
1924  about  800  houses  were  operating.  Today 
there  are  about  half  that  number.

General — A  majority  of  the  films  made  in  Russia 
until  recently  were  political.  Now  the  Sovkino, 
which  controls  the  industry,  has  realized  the 
people  need  entertainment  and  are  making  pic- 
tures of  which  the  subjects  are  drawn  from  the 
rich  literature  of  the  country.  The  works  of 
Dostoievsky,  Tolstoy,  Gorky,  Pushkin  and 
Tchekov  are  being  filmed. 

Production  for  1926-1927  is  scheduled  as  fol- 
lows :

In  exhibition,  the  field  for  improvement  is 
best  evidenced  by  the  following :  Leningrad,  with 
a  population  of  1.070,000  has  63  theaters  show- 
ing pictures,  compared  to  48  in  Moscow  with  a 
population  of  1,500,000.  Each  of  these  cities 
has  four  houses  seating  1,000  and  18  with  from 
500  to  1,000  seats.  Other  important  Russian 
cities  having  200,000  population  and  the  theaters 
in  each  follow:  Kiev,  population  of  433,000.  11 
theaters;  Odessa,  317,000,  15  houses;  Kharkov, 
310,000,  six  theaters,  and  Rostof-on-the-Don, 
236,000,  four  houses.  There  are  1,212  traveling 
picture  units  operating  in  villages,  as  compared 
with  396  at  the  end  of  1925.  This  number 
would  be  larger  if  projectors  were  obtainable. 

In  1924,  200  projection  machines  were  manu- 
factured; in  1925,  600;  1926,  900;  4,000  are 
scheduled  bv  the  end  of  1927.

General — African  Theaters,  Ltd.,  and  its  affiliated 
company,  African  Films,  Ltd., — the  Schlesinger 
companies  which  control  South  Africa — are  being 
challenged  by  Cinemas  South  Africa  Films,  Ltd., 
for  supremacy  in  that  country.  Theaters  have 
been  acquired  at  Johannesburg,  Durban,  Benoni, 
Boksburg,  Brakpan,  Springs,  Cape  Town,  East 
London,  while  negotiations  are  under  way  for 
others. 

The  situation  is  being  watched  with  interest  by 
American  distributors,  especially  so  in  view  of 
the  fact  the  Schlesinger  interests  have  long 
offered  far  less  for  South  African  rights  than 
the  distributor  felt  he  deserved.  The  market 
here  has  been  practically  a  monopoly  for  a 
number  of  years.

SPAIN 

Agitation — There  seems  to  be  no  agitation  at  pres- 
ent against  American  films  in  Spain ;  and,  al- 
though there  was  a  tariff  increase  several  years 
ago  on  films  imported,  no  further  steps  have 
been  made.  There  seems  little  likelihood  of  any 
decree  or  legislation  which  will  hamper  the 
American  trade. 

Censorship — There  are  two  censor  boards  in  Spain, 
one  in  Madrid  and  one  in  Barcelona,  and  it  is 
worthy  of  note  that  a  picture  passed  by  one 
board  is  sometimes  rejected  by  the  other.  In 
general,  the  findings  of  the  Madrid  board  seem 
less  critical.  The  Madrid  board  is  composed 
of  civil  government  officials  and  the  prefecture 
of  police,  and  the  Barcelona  board  of  members 
of  the  Society  for  the  Protection  of  Children 
and  civil  government  officials.  The  military 
part  of  the  Government  does  not  interfere,  ex- 
cept in  diplmotic  matters,  when  it  is  requested  to.

General — 'Temporary  tax  reduction  of  50  per  cent 
has  been  made  by  the  Spanish  government  in  an 
effort  to  help  rehabilitate  the  domestic  industry, 
the  German  film  press  reported  in  August.  This 
decision,  it  is  stated,  was  made  at  request  of  the 
Unione  Artistica  Cinematrografica  Espanola. 

In  September,  a  company  was  formed  in  Bar- 
celona with  a  capital  of  15,000,000  pesetas  (near- 
ly $2,500,000),  for  the  purpose  of  purchasing  ten 
theaters.  The  company  has  bought  two  large 
theaters,  the  Olympia  with  4,000  seats  and  the 
Tivoli  with  2500  seats,  in  Barcelona.  Another 
important  company  is  the  Empresa  Ideal,  which 
owns  10  houses,  each  seating  from  1200  to  4000.

General — Competition  among  distributors  in  Switz- 
erland— there  are  some  50  in  the  country — is  so 
keen  that  some  exchanges  hardly  earn  expenses. 
In  view  of  its  impending-  expansion  the  business 
in  Switzerland  is  believed  to  be  fairly  certain  to 
to  enter  gradually  into  more  satisfactory  chan- 
nels. For  the  purpose  of  protecting  the  general 
interests  of  theaters  an  organization  has  been 
formed  under  the  name  of  Schweizer  Licht- 
spieltheater  Verband. 

German  films  have  entered  prominently  into  the 
Swiss  field.  American  films,  however,  still  hold 
a  60  per  cent  share  in  the  Swiss  market,  as 
against  about  85  per  cent  two  years  ago. 

Hitherto  theater  business-  in  Switzerland  has 
not  displayed  any  marked  enterprise.  But  in 
Zurich  six  new  houses  will  be  built,  which  will 
mean  over  15,000  seats  as  against  the  present 
8,000.

TURKEY  IN  EUROPE 

Agitation — A  monoply  in  importation  has  been 
submitted  to  the  Grand  National  Assembly  for 
the  benefit  of  the  Turkish  Aviation  League.  No

mission of  the  National  Assembly  at  Constan- 
tinople has  approved  a  law  forbidding  people 
under  18  to  frequent  theaters.  Films  touching 
Mohamedan  religion  and  Moslem  habits  under- 
go a  severe  censor.  Since  the  fez  has  been 
abolished,  no  Turk  may  be  shown  in  pictures

General — The  percentage  of  American  films  shown 
in  Turkey  as  compared  with  other  countries  has 
gone  up  considerably.  Oversupply  of  American 
film?  has  had  a  bad  influence  on  prices.  The 
American  firms  established  in  Turkey  reduced 
prices  to  eet  films  into  circulation,  and  the  local 
importer  had  to  follow  this  policy  in  order  to  get 
revenue  on  his  pictures.  Business  would  prob- 
ably be  more  sane  and  would  guarantee  profits 
for  all  concerned,  if  importers  would  limit  re- 
leases, pick  out  the  most  suitable  pictures  for  the 
market.  The  cost  including  custom  duties,  local 
titles  etc.  of  unsuitable  product  eat  up  the  pro- 
fit made  on  films  that  go  well.

The  quota,  as 

it  affects 

the 

renter  of  films, 

goes  into  effect  on  April  1,  1928.  The  first  of 
the  ten  quota  years  will,  therefore,  end  on  March 
31,  1929.  The  quota  on  exhibitors  begins  Oct. 
1,  1928.  Films  exhibited  during  the  12  months 
that  follow  until  Sept.  30,  1929  must  contain  at 
least  5%  of  British  films.  From  Oct.  1,  1928 
to  Sept.  30,  1940,  exhibitors  must  be  licensed 
with  a  special  permit  for  each  of  their  theaters, 
these  being  securable  from  the  Board  of  Trade. 
The  statute  also  provides  that  before  Nov.  1 
of  each  quota  year,  exhibitors  must  give  par- 
ticulars of  the  British  films  which  they  have 
shown. 

Part  One  of  the  bill  deals  with  blind  and 
advance  booking.  Not  only  will  it  be  prohibited 
for  renter  to  sell  and  the  exhibitor  to  buy 
sight  unseen,  but  the  dating  in  of  pictures  is 
restricted  so  that  time  can  be  allotted  for  British 
pictures. 

In  the  instance  of  pictures  contracted  for 
before  lOct.  1,  1928,  the  booking  time  limit  must 
not  exceed  a  year.  Advance  booking  is  limited 
to  nine  months  in  the  case  of  contracts  signed 
on  or  after  Oct.  1,  1928  and  before  Oct.  1, 
1929.  After  Oct.  1,  1929,  advance  bookings  are 
cut  to  six  months.  At  present,  American  com- 
panies have  sewed  up  so  much  playing  time, 
that  without  such  proviso,  there  would  be  no 
way  in  which  to  ascertain  when  quota  pictures 
could  reach  British  theaters. 

Censorship — Exercised  by  British  Board  of  Cen- 
sors. The  British  Board  censored  1,718  pictures 
totalling  6,238,176  ft.  during  1926.  Four  were 
rejected  entirely;  universal  exhibition  certificates 
for  1,384  were  granted  while  334  carried  the 
"A"  certificate,  which  means  for  adults  only. 
The  board  took  exception  to  337  pictures,  but 
eventually  these  were  passed  with  eliminations. 
The  list  of  objections  is  long.  Seventy-seven 
reasons  for  eliminations  were  given,  ranging 
from  the  "materialized  figure  of  Christ"  to 
"scenes  in  a  lunatic  asylum." 

Competition — 90%  American.  Out  of  800  features 
trade  shown  in  1926  there  were  720  American. 
The  efficacious  manner  in  which  the  quota  will 
work  from  the  British  angle  is  demonstrated 
by  the  fact  that  at  the  end  of  the  first  quota 
year  on  distributors  which  will  be  March  31, 
1929,  sixty  English-made  features  will  be  found 
on  releasing  schedules,  computed  on  the  basis 
outlined  above.  By  Sept.  30,  1929  which  will 
mark  the  termination  of  the  first  quota  year  on 
the  exhibitor,  5%  or  40  English  pictures  will 
reach    British  screens. 

Copyright  Relations  —Established  by  proclamation 
July  1,  1891,  extended  April  9,  1910.  Dec.  8, 
1910    and    May    25,  1922. 


Production — When  England's  final  check-up  for 
1927  is  made,  the  total  number  of  features  made 
will  approximate  60.  In  1926,  there  were  23 
features  produced   and   in   1925   there  were  34. 

The  spurt  in  English  production,  or  its  re- 
birth as  portions  of  the  trade  in  London  called 
it,  was,  of  course,  brought  about  by  the  quota 
situation  which  was  under  discussion  for  almost 
a  year  prior  to  its  enactment  as  law  late  in 
December.  Practically  all  of  the  old-line  Brit- 
ish companies,  therefore,  re-entered  active  pro- 
duction. Admittedly  faced  by  inadequate  man- 
power, British  producers  late  in  1927  turned  eyes 
toward  Hollywood  with  a  view  to  placing 
available  directors  and  players  under  contract. 
By  the  beginning  of  1928,  there  developed  no 
exodus  to  speak  of,  but  it  was  generally  felt  in 
Hollywood  that  before  1928  has  passed  consid- 
erable talent  would  find  itself  working  in  Eng- 
lish studios.  Recognizing  the  necessity  for  a 
broad  attitude  in  view  of  the  status  of  the 
British  production  industry,  one  of  the  last 
minute  changes  in  the  quota  made  it  possible 
for  quota  pictures  to  be  made  anywhere  through- 
out the  world  provided  all  other  clauses  in  the 
law  were  adhered  to.  As  a  consequence,  it  will 
be  1929  before  British  production  hits  its  real 
stride.  Nineteen  twenty  eight  may  be  expected 
to  be  largely  a  year  of  intensive  preparation. 

In  general,  it  is  a  source  of  great  satisfac- 
ton  to  the  British  trade  that  production  is 
making  such  splendid  progress.  Opinions  differ 
over  the  efficacy  of  the  quota.  Some  believe  -it 
will  result  in  pictures  of  mediocre  quality,  since 
their  outlet  is  largely  guaranteed  under  the 
law.  Others  feel  the  measure  will  gain  for 
Britain  her  place  in  the  international  produc- 
tion sun.  There  is  also  to  remember  this  con- 
sideration: The  quota  has  brought  about  the 
flotation  of  a  considerable  number  of  shady 
promotions,  designed  not  for  the  purpose  of 
making  good  pictures,  but  largely  to  separate 
the  gullible  public  from  its  money. 

Taxes — Moderate.  The  entertainment  tax  netted 
the  British  Government  £5,778,000,  or,  about 
$28,890,000  during  the  twelve  months  ending 
Jan.  31,  1927.  This  is  interesting  when  com- 
pared with  the  $20,900,000  received  by  the 
United  States  on  admission  taxes  for  the  twelve 
months  ending  June,  1926.  Although  other 
branches  of  amusement  contribute  a  share  of 
these  taxes,  motion  picture  theaters  pay  the 
most. 

Theaters — 3,760.  London,  500  (estimated).  The 
average  weekly  attendance  at  all  British  the- 
aters is  estimated  at  8,000,000,  or  about  eight 
visits  to  a  picture  theater  per  year,  based  on 


the  population.  About  3,300  theaters  of  the 
nation's  total  are  regular  exhibitors,  keep- 
ing open  six  days  a  week ;  the  other  exhibit 
irregularjy.  London  leads  with  about  500 
houses.  The  principal  cities  and  their  theaters 
follow  : 

London    500 

Manchester    475 

Leeds    465 

Glasgow    457 

Birmingham    351 

Newcastle    315 

Cardiff    260 

Dublin    228 

Bristol    226 

Liverpool    216 

Nottingham    148 


About  $12,500,000  was  spent  in  1927  in  Lon- 
don alone  for  new  theaters,  and  the  reconstruc- 
tion of  old  houses.  The  program  provided  the 
city  without  about  52.890  new  seats  divided 
among  20  theaters.  None  of  the  theaters 
seats  less  than  2,000  while  the  high  and  low 
range  for  the  entire  group  is  2,000  to  5,000. 
Ten  other  houses  are  in  the  offing  and  may  be 
started  during  1928.  Several  are  controlled 
by  American  companies;  in  others,  American 
and  British  interests  are  partners,  while  in  the

General— The  biggest  development  of  1927  in  the 

United  Kingdom  was  the  passage  of  the  quota 
law.  It  remains  to  be  seen  whether  or  not  the 
restrictions  placed  on  American  pictures  as  a 
foreign  product  imported  into  the  country  will 
result  in  American  organizations  entering  pro- 
duction in  England.  As  1928  dawned,  this 
seemed  unlikely — for  a  year  at  least.  As  a  mat- 
ter of  fact  in  the  early  fall,  negotiations  were 
started  in  both  London  and  in  New  York 
for  the  sale  of  British  pictures  to  meet  quota 
needs.  First  National  is  the  only  American 
company  producing  in  Great  Britain,  having 
started  in  an  experimental  way  with  "Confetti" 
which  has  turned  out  so  favorably  that  it  will 
be  released  on  the  American  as  well  as  the 
English  market.  This  company's  British  pic- 
tures presumably  are  eligible,  likewise,  as  quota 
pictures. 

A  factor  which  has  disturbed  Britain  and 
which  may  be  considered  as  one  reason,  at  least, 
why  the  effort  to  rehabilitate  production  took 
on  so  earnest  a  form  is  that  during  1926,  Am- 
erican distr  butors  in  London  rolled  up  a  gross 
of  $38,000,000   from   exhibitors   in  rentals. 

The  year  witnessed  one  extremely  important 
merger  in  England.  Ostrer  Bros.,  London  bank- 
ers sponsoring  Gaumont,  merged  that  company 
•with  Ideal  Films,  F.B.O.  Ltd.  and  W.  and  F. 
Film  Service  with  operation  of  each  continued 
as  a  separate  entity.  American  participation 
within  the  British  trade  took  a  dual  form. 
Late  in  the  year,  First  National  Pictures,  Ltd. 
and  Pathe  Freres  Cinema,  Ltd.  were  amalga- 
mated and  the  exchanges  of  both  merged  under 
the  name  of  First  National-Pathe.  One  angle 
of  the  deal  involved  directly  First  National  of 
New  York,  the  Stanley  Co.  of  America  and 
the  group  composed,  in  part  of  Will  Evans  and 
Lords  Beaverbrook  and  Ashfield  which  con- 
trol Pathe  Freres  and  Provincial  Cinemato- 
graph Theaters,  Ltd.  and  provided  for  the  jo'nt 
construction  of  a  big  first  run  in  the  West 
End  of  London.  Loew's,  Inc.  and  the  United 
Artists  Theater  Circuit,  Inc.  both  of  New  York 
shortly  after,  arranged  with  the  Evans  group  to 
buy  about  25%  of  the  stock  of  P.  C.  T.  which 
is  the  most  powerful  group  of  theaters  in  the 
United  Kingdom,  numbering  over  100  houses. 
Both  of  these  deals,  it  is>  interesting  to  note,  are 
in  reality  alliances,  since  control  continues  in 
the  hands  of  the   British  group. 

British  exhibitors,  aware  for  some  time  that 
American  interests  were  dickering  with  the 
P.  C.  T.  rose  in  arms  over  what  they  feared 
would  be  domination  from  across  the  seas. 
Through  the  Cinematograph  Exhibitors'  Ass'n, 
a  trad'ng  scheme  was  formulated  and  a  booking 
combine  organized.  Distributors,  speaking 
through  the  Kinematograph  Renters'  Society, 
pave  notice  of  their  refusal  to  serve  them.  At 
this  writing,  it  appeared  probable  that  the  trad- 
ing plan  would  develop  as  a  step  to  offset  the 
buying  power  of  the  P.  C.  T.  by  handling  prod- 
uct direct  from  the  producer,  British  and  all 
others.

PICTURE 


FROM  THE  PLAY  BY  CATHERINE  CHISHOLM  CUSHINC 


If  you  laughed  at  "Topsy 
and  Eva"  on  the  stage, 
You'll  laugh  longer  and 
louder  at  the  funnier  screen 
version  of  the  same  play. 
All  their  antics,  pep,  per- 
sonality and  joy  —  rolled 
into  reels  of  rib-tickling 
merriment. 

"Caused  an  uproar — 
a  sensational  hit"  says 
Los  Angeles  Times.
