A RECORD RUN.

"Neptune's Daughter continues u
the attraction at the Globe Theatre
Not only has this film had longer run
than any other this year. but it mas
been shown for more time than many
legitimate stage productions Of the lsss
season which were accounted successes.
Not only is the picture attractive be-
cause OF the unique character Of the
scenes and story, but also because OF
the excellent acting of Annette Keller
mann. who is featured in the title role.
The popularity of the film is sttested
by the high prices wbich have been
Paid for state rights to its exhibition.

Various Recommendations.


Ten-cent admissions, wherever prac-
ticable; shorter programmes and dis
enlargement of film exchange owners
also entering the exhibition business
were the important points in the rec
concentrations of President Neff in his
annual address.
He made recommendation as fol-
lows:
That each of the state national COM
, mitteemen be appointed a member Of
committee to plan finances for the
coming year
That theatre owners get first con-
sideration on the part of film manu-
facturers and exchanges.
That there be greater cooperation
with the film makers and the ex-
changes and among the exhibitors.
That exhibitors retain papers and
receipts for the 50 a week paid the
Motion Picture Patents Company, suit
70 dissolve which as trust has been
filed by the federal government.
Shorter programmes for film thea
tres.
Dispense with posters when possible.
Advance admission to 10 cents when
possible.
| Make more one and two reel films.
Request manufacturers to so reduce
scenarios as to permit ore-reel films
wherever possible, instead Of two, three
and four.
/ Protect exhibitors, so that after
/ film has once been passed it may run
continually thereafter without inter-
/ ference.
/ Oppose manufacturers and exchanges
engaging in exhibition work.
Cooperate in league matters and op-
/ pose interference of non-members.
/ That the league enter into no alli-
ances with persons or organizations
and maintain a middle of the road"
policy for the benefit of exhibitors
only.

hard and faithfully during the year,

clusion. He reviewed the bolt at the

DAYTON Convention of Motion Picture
Men Accomplishes Important Re-
sults-Neff Forced Out.

indication of weakness or lack of in
terest. The attendance was accounted
for by the fact that the convention
was held in Dayton. In order to at
tend such a convention most of the
exhibitors have to combine the trip
with their vacations. The natural re-
suit is that TO draw a crowd the meet
ings must be held in some large city,
as those who will attend are for the
most part from small towns, and a
place like Dayton has no interest for
them. The several thousand out-of-
town visitors at the gathering last
year in New York illustrate this point.
Next year the meeting place will be
San Francisco, and with the added in
terest of the Panama-Paciic EXPOSE
ton there will undoubtedly be very
large attendance.
The falling off in membership has
been due to the split in the ranks
caused by the formation last summer
of the International Motion Picture
Exhibitors Association. The pending
union of forces will put an end to this
condition of affairs.
Representatives of the film COM
panies and other manufacturers and
jobbeTs met Wednesday and protested
against conditions attending the ex-
position. They said the displays arc
Improbable because of the small at
tendance. Ii was asserted, moreover,
that in all probability the manufact-
urers in the future will conduct their
own eXpositions, instead of supporting
them under league auspices.
