TO SEE MOVIES
This Amount Spent Yearly by
the People of the City
of Washington.

GROWTH IS MARVELLOUS

The people of Washington spend
more than 100000 a year to see the
movies.
This fact is almost uncomfortable to
residents who remember that eight
years ago not a cent was being spent
in this city for the picture play.
The first motion picture theater in
this city did not receive a license to
open its doors to the public until Oc-
tober g. 1907. From that day until
present the motion picture business
here has had mushroom growth thar
has exceeded even the widest dreams
of the men who first took a chance"
by investing money.
1t is estimated that there are about
10000 paid admissions to motion pic
ture houses each day now and the lead
ing motion picture promoters of the
city calmly aver that the business
has just begun its real. normal and
substantial growth" These men pre-
dict that the motion picture will make
just as much progress in the next
eight years as in the last eight.
The promoters point out that while
there is a daily average of about TO-.
900 paid admissions these admissions
average only about IA cents each
Some houses charge 10 cents admis-
sion. The majority charge s cents.
There is one house, the Columbia The
ater charging 10 and 20-cent admis-
sions The promoters look to the day
when the average admission charge
will be 25 cents. Then the business
will begin its real growth" they say.
In the latter part of October. 1907,
Thomas Armat opened the National
Capitals first motion picture play
house 1t was not much of theater.
In reality it was not a theater but
an ordinary storeroom, crudely remod
eled to meet the actual needs of pic
ture projection. Armat rented the
ground floor space of the building at
Tenth and D streets northwest that
had been occupied as a newspaper Of
fee. He plastered the exterior with
signs, had a barker at the door and
charged cents admission.
The pictures were of the funny"
variety, without plot or seriousness.
and designed chiefly to show the
tricks that could be done with the

agement of the park, but the figures
represent the golden stream that the
movie fan" pictures to himself when
he pays his own dime and wonders
how many others are giving up a dime
to see the show.
Tom Moore is credited with having
made more money in motion pictures
than any other man in Washington.
Whether that is true can be surmised
only. 1t is said by some that Moore
has made a million. Others say his
fortune will be less than half that
amount. At any rate Moore has been
one of the biggest factors in the BUSH
ness here.
Harry Crandall likewise is regarded
as motion picture genius by his fell
low exhibitors. Crandall is the author
of some of the innovations that have
greatly aided the business here and
his Judgment is regarded as very val
liable. Crandall is one of the men who
believes that the motion picture BUSH
ness really is only in its infancy.
why" says Crandall, 10 cents Is
pretty near the top price an exhib-
itor can ask in Washington. That will
change, for the people here will learn
they have to pay more to get things
the way they want them. The Strand
Theater in New York charges IS and
so cents admission. The Vitagraph
Theater in New York charges from 25
cents to 81 admission. There Is a IS
and 5o-cent picture theater in Phil
adelphia All all big cities soon will
have them.
The prediction Of D. w. Griffith
that the day is not far distant when
the people will be paying IS to see
motion picture may sound absurd
at first blush. But five years ago
man would have been called crazy II
he had said the public would pay 81
seat to see a picture play in 1919.
That price has been paid to see Grif-
fith's masterpiece. The Birth of a Ma
ton
TT is a fact that I am today show
ing at Crandalrs Theater for a 10
cent admission the same pictures that
one must pay IS or so cents to. see in
New York or Philadelphia. Washing
ton today gets the best in motion pic
lures, but the day may come when
the best will cost too much to produce
to. exhibit at 10 cents and then I am
sure the prices here will jump to IS
cents. Washington demands the best!"
