The Path of The Picture Play

hibiting motion pictures from it's in Ifancy, and made considers bIe money | thereby. These exchanges assumed 1 the purchase cost of films and under took to rent them to the theaters However, because each worked inde- pendently of the other without re- gard for price or schedule, conditions soon became chaotic. A theater man. ager would advertise a program he had arranged to get from one ex- change, and wake up the morning before it was to be run to find that his competitor had secured the same pictures from another exchange a day ahead. One manager would run a certain number of films for five or ten cents His competitor would go him one better. Then the first would add one more than the competitor and so on. until they both found there was no money in the business. Another evil in those days was the frequent repeating" of films The supply was not as plentiful as now, and since there was no system of hooking" one never knew when he would pay admission to see films that he knew by heart The public did not take kindly to the existing
 
 investments to protect were heartily discouraged at the outlook for the future. It began to look as if the picture shows were merely a passing fancy. The first move toward re- mobilization was the formation of an organization known as the General Film Company Unc) In 1910. this company purchased a certain number of exchanges throughout the country and established the first efficient sys- tenn of hooking films according to definite schedule This system, still in use in a modified form, un- dOubtedly did more than any other single thing to establish the per manency of the motion picture busi- ness. Briefly, the system operates like this. The manufacturers of films assign a release date to each picture The date upon which it may be rented by exchanges to the theaters The film is handled thereafter ac- cording to it's age, and automatically fits into what are known as runs" When a theater advertises that it shows first run pictures that means pictures that have not been run be- fore. Every theater wants a we'll balanced program and most theater managers, whether they run new or old pictures. insist upon a program that has not been shown in the houses of any of their competitors.
 It is manifestly impossible to con- sider all theaters in a city, particu- larly in the larger cities, as being in active competition with each other. each city is divided by the exchanges into situations" For example. three theaters in the busi- | ness section of a town within a ra- dius of few blocks, are considered | as conflicting and the same is true of three houses in the residential 1 section of town within a radius of | a half mile or so. But in hooking" | films. usually the two groups are | treated as if they were in different cities.
 A theater manager goes to an ex- change and explains that he wants a certain number of films per day of certain age and relies upon the booking system to divide his pro grams properly among comedies. lramas. etc The booker opens an account with each theater and with

To his consternation. however. he found that only two or three natives were willing to climb the cliff and none Of these even remotely resmbled either of the Edison players. The only girl in fact was about twice Miss Nes- bitt's size.
 Though both Miss Nesbitt and Mac DermOtt were perfectly willing to take the risk, MT Brabin declared that beside his natural aversion to attending the funerals of his friends, he deemed it poor business policy to take chances with his leading play CTS while three thousand miles from home It was decided therefore to use the substitutes and place the camera far enough away to conceal their identity.

 At one time. before the formation of the so-called film service organ izatiOns," motion pictures were sold outright by individual manufacturers to exhibitors. most of whom operated d series of small and generally un- attractive theaters. or played "one night stands before lodges, Sunday schools, etc. Since, in those days, the cost of each film was about $100 or more, it is obvious that the programs were limited to few subjects of general interest.

Above the great glass roof the black sky was ripped and slashed by angry flashes of light ming, which seemed to pierce the very roof itself It was a magnificent display and the less timid ones were sorry when the arc lights glowed again and spoiled the effect.
