Owner of String of Film Theaters Sees Need of Shorter Feature Photoplays
By WALTER D. HICKX AN npri ÜBLIC taste In movies is chang[_J That is the opinion of Frank J. Rembusch. president and general manager of the Capitol Amusement Company, who is interested in the ownership or management of fift*-?i) theaters in Indianapolis. ‘‘l believe that the public is becoming interested in the shorter movie feature.’ Rembusch said today. "Six i reels seems to be quite sufficient for; a feature to many people. The nine- i to twelve-reel feature is too long for j the average busy person who takes ( his amusemeent on the run." Rembusch's opinion is backed up by j the fact that all film companies are j beginning ,o lay more stress upon the 1 shorter feature movie. "The other day a man told n:e ‘ nat it was too bad that Fairbanks. Chaplin and the others were not making shorter subjects, as he has time only for the shorter subjects.” Rembusch years ago started the \ movement known as the “l>ig man ' idea” for the heads of certain amusement industries. Since then baseball and the movies have used this idea by appointing Landis and Hays as heads. “Mr. Hays is doing splendid organization work,” said Rembusch. who has been honored by being president in the past of nearly all the leading film organzations, such as the Ameri can Exhibitors' Association, national body: national president of the Inde- : pendent Motion Picture Exhibitors, and others. Rembusch. nearly twenty years ago. became lneterested in movies while he was a manufactuer of mirrors. One day while repairing a magic lantern for his little daughter he used a mirror as a screen. The result was startling. Further development re suited in the famous mirror screen by Rembusch. This screen was all the rage for years, but as the industry grew such a screen was found too costly. The Rembusch interests have five i theaters in Indianapolis, including the Gem. Irving. Lincoln Square. Lenwood and Manhattan, in addition to a movie studio. He has three theaters in Marion, one in Shelbyville, one in Columbus, two in Martinsville, two In Noblesville and two in Greenfield. -!• -!• -IThe attractions on view today include “The Music Box Revue” at English's. “The Fool" at the Murat, Rae : Samuels at Keith's, Edna Wallace, Hopper at the Lyric, "All In Fun” at the Capitol. “Everybody Step" at the Palace.
