THE MOVING PICTURE.

From all accounts the movies have
ceased to be a popular draw In Ger
many, and the cinematograph thea
ire owners throughout the country,
with a few exceptions, join in wall
of bad business" Indications of the
slump are given by the general de-
cline in receipts shown by the half
yearly balance sheets of the leading
German film factories. Many thea
tres have closed for the rest of the
summer for lack of public support.
AS Germany was one of the first
countries to strongly popularize the
moving picture machine it is mat
ter of speculation just how soon the
amusement will begin to decline in
this country That 1t will react in
time there is much probability. AT
present it has reached the stage of a
craze.
