craft, which meet the demands of the
most fastidious, are justification for
an increased admission charge.
Having in many cases made for
tunes In the pioneer days Of the in
dustry, the majority Of these exhibit
tors were content to meet the increas-
ed cost of production out Of their
own pockets, working on a smaller
margin of profit or no profit at ALL
f"This condition became so serious
eventually that q number of smaller
theatre owners were forced out Of
business. The sNickleodeon' or five
cent theatre, practically disappeared,
and the minimum price throughout
the country became 10c. Even this
scale was not profitable. In most
cases 1t simply meant that the exhibit
tor received no returns from his in
vested capital, and merely earned a
livelihood for a salary. On the Pa
cifio Coast, however, 15c has been q
minimum charge even for theatres
showing inferior productions, for
some time, even prior to the tax levy.
Naturally enough, a condition
such as that cited above could not
remain in force for any length Of
time. About the beginning Of this
year another decided tendency to-
ward increased admission prices was
noted. The larger and better theatres
increased their prices to a scale of
from 15c to 75c and even dollar.
The movement spread rapidly, and Of
my own knowledge hundreds Of thea
tres raised the scale Of admission
prices by from &c to 20c, during the
first half of the year, obeying the
natural law of seif-preservatiop in
the face of constantly increasing pro-
ducing and presentation costs.
Eat this point, let me emphasize the
| fact that the increased production
| cost Is an effect not cause. It is a
result Of public demand for better,
more elaborate, and more spectacular
photoplays.
with the advent of the war and
the soaring prices of the material that
enters into the production cost Of the
films themselves, and the machinery
necessary for the operation Of the
theatre, the scale Of prices heretofor
| in effect became impossible.
mot only would the theatre owner
be required to waive the returns of
his investments, but he would not be
able to earn even a living from his
labor.
"a continuance Of the prices in vo-
que would mean that hundreds Of mo-
ton picture theatres would have to
close their doors, an event which can
only be regarded with the utmost
gravity in the present wartime condi-

tions, where moderate-priced amuse-
ments for the people are an absolute
necessity.
1.-THE motion picture industry is the
very last one to ask an increase for
its product; clothiers, shoe manufac-
turersf magazine publishers and food
distributors have already obtained an
increase in the purchase price from
their consumers, but the motion pic
ture, which we include among the
necessities of life, has waited until 1t
could wait no longer. Our industry is
being hard hit by taxes and there are
more to come. It is giving a good
deal to the government and 1t must
receive something in return in order
to advance with the same rapid
strides that have characterized its
past progress.
ct have not the slightest fear Of the
industry's' ability to indicate its JUS
LITIGATION to the public for this in
crease in the price of admission. From
what I have already seen on my trip
through the country, exhibitors in all
parts have already made the increase
and are receiving the support of their
patrons in the movement.
"It is acknowledged that the motion
picture theatre offers the best and
cheapest amusement that the public
can buy during war time. 1t is giving
education, enlightenment and enter
tainment to the great public. 1t has
been splendid medium for the gov
ernment's propaganda, both in con-
nectfon with the Liberty Loan, the

1t took a good deal Of coaxing
on the part of the boys to get
permission to keep the puppy, but
at lat grandfather and grandmothl-

bout to c1ean him up, and as
they said, make him look respect
able.
They named him Bob3 and began
at once to teach him to mind
and to do tricks.
One day about a week later
they were playing with HIM nlt'rolit
of the house. Mark had an apple
which he would throw for Bob to
chase. Sometimes he did not throw
the apple, hut made the motion
Poor Bob would see Marks arm
move. and away he would dash,
and then he would look so puzzled
that the boys could mot help laugh

way the doctor drove along AND

had watched him a moment he call--
