The reproduction of “Custer’s Last Stand” is said to be the most vivid ever photographed by a motion picture camera. The story centers around his romance with the general’s flirtatious daughter.

ROUNDING THEATERS

[prjNE realizes the strength of the movie industry more fully |U| than ever before since an official survey made by the help of the fil\n industry shows that there is a total of 20,189 motion picture theaters in this country. The average weekly attendance at these theaters is 130,000,000, according to this survey which has been made public by the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc.

The report states that "these theaters supplying wholesale entertainment to nearly half of the population of the country each week, do so at a low cost to the patrons of pictures, the great majority of houses charging less than EO cents admission fees.” The growth of movie appreciation has resulted in the building of modern playhouses in cities all over the coutitry. There isn’t a Main St. in the country which does not brag that one of tho best looking buildings on the street is a movie theater. Photoplays have resulted in giving patrons more comfort than formerly afforded at the opera house. The continuous policy of performances make posisble the maintaining of large staffs, created chiefly to render service to patrons. The movie theater has made possible the creation of large symphony orchestras in many theaters and also has made possible the presentation of ballets. Movie entertainment today is as specialized as any form of big business. We are now In the “presentation era” of the movie business. The photoplay is the center around which a complete program is created. By what is known as “stage presentations,” the modern movie the-
