GUS moving picture palaces of to-

The erroneous and rapid develop
ment Of the moving picture business
has been remarkable, to say the least.
There is probably no city or town in
the United States with a population
large enough to justify such a venture
that does not have at least one NOV
ing picture show. In the larger cities
they are found in great numbers
Some blocks contain as many as eight
or ten picture theatres, when the To-
cality is one frequented by women
shoppers, while the suburban picture
show has sprung up everywhere to
I'LL what had become a genuine want
In the evening suburbanities, and even
families in the residence districts of
larger cities, no longer have to visit
the business part of town to find
amusement. The chances are that there
is fourishing moving picture thea
tre in a block or two of where they
live. Mother and the children issue
gaily forth, ''just as they are," with
out the fussy task of dressing up"
and are treated to the latest moving
picture offerings for the modest sum
of or 10 cents.
That the profits derived from this
business are tremendous has already
been known, but it seems almost in
credible that moving picture con-
Germ could make a profit of 1900 per
cent in one year, as was brought out
in government suit against the al
legged moving picture trust in Phila-
delpha
No wonder the leading theatrical
producers of the country have turned
their attention to the "movies!"

ed July 8. Qualification cards, together
with any other data. will be used in the
revision Of the handicaps. Judging from:
