Exhibitors Learning
Best Film Is Not
Sold by the
Foot

The exhibitor who has made his
business keep pace with the improve
ment of the photoplay is the man
who will reap a harvest for his ef-
forts. ~.
A new organization is about to
spring into being. An organization
OF big exhibitors, whose purpose it
will be to improve the quality OF
their shows and to insure an unfail-
ing supply of first-class bookings.
When this Organization gets going
il will mean the elimination of the
manufacturers of the fiy-by-night
order-the men who put out the -
sIx-reel features that have become
so popular with the people who don't
care for anything but footage, and
have helped degrade the business.
Tne matter of quantity that we
have referred to so many times is a
very important one to this class Of
men. They sell their nlms by the
length and not by the quality. IL
the film will run 2,0Og or 5,VOo feet
IT must be a good film. And II the
exhibitor can buy 5000 feet of film
Tor 50 or $40 from one exchange,
where one of the big exchanges will
chargeh i'm from 81 to SS0f for The
same lengtk-why he feels ne Is fool
ish to wastem oney by buying the
more expensive film.
If this attitude were carried out
in other forms of amusement or
education We would be buying DOCKS
by the pound or the page, and select
schools by the architecture or cost
of the buildings or pictures by the
quantity of paint used or the size
Of the canvas.
In a recent issue of the Moving
Picture World this matter Is given
extended treatment in editorial form.
The World editor states:
When you see the posse of cow
boys starting after the horse thief
or cattle rustler you know in your
heart that the chase will be sue
cessful. No villain ever escaped in
a well regulated Western melo-
drama Why then all this extended
detail of the chase through The
Chaparral and the cactus and the
bad lands and the alkali desert!
Simply and purely for the purpose OF
footage. Say the development of the
plot takes about ,e0O feet; add 500
feet of chase and serve. Such is, or
rather was, the old-fashioned mo-
ton picture. 1t is survival OF the
single-reel age. Nor is 1t the orly
relic of that rapidly expiring era.
There are exhibitors who give
all their waking hours TO plans for
the improvement of their shows. 1t
is not hard to identify them, be-
cause as a rule their theaters are

lar places Of amusement and like

that most exhibitors appeared in

were mentioned.

BrUm the Novel by Charles Dickens.

Brum the Novel by Charles Dickens
THE story of Little Nell, the
gentle. lovable inmate of the
J. Curiosity Shop, and her
grandfather is one of the
saddest tales in fiction. The old
mans mania for gambling and the
consequent foreclosure by the ma
licious dwarf, Quilp. causes them
to be driven from home to a wan
dering life, in which they experience
many hardships. They are befriend-
ed on the way by the kind school
master, Mr.. Marion, and later re-
ceiye suCCor and work at Mrs. jar
ley's wax works, where the dor
mant passion for gambling suddenly
arises in the old man. and they are
compelled to set out once more.
Finally, as a result of her past
trials, the health of Little Nell fails,
and she passes away. Soon to be
followed by her grandfather, after
he has become reconcSed to his
brother, who sets out to revenge
himself on Quilp. The Hepvorth
company gives a convincing produ>-
tion of the story, interest being add
ed by the fact that some of the
pictures are made on tse scenes of
the original story.
