NEWS NOTES FROM MOVIELATD
By DAISY DEAN.

THE question Of how many reels a
photoplay should run is not
4 nearly as difficult TO answer
now as IL was a year ago.
At that time certain manufacturers
still had an idea that ten to u reels
would become popular, but time has
proven that the five reel picture is the
one which is most popular with the
public and, therefore, the best from
commercial viewpoint
There are several reasons for ills.
One IS that any pnotoplay which runs
over the allotted five reels must have
a remarkable story and such stories
are scarce. Another reason is that
the public prefers feature with a
one or two reel comedy or a comedy
and a news film.
Yet another reason is that the eX-
hibitOr finds such an evenings en-
tertainment IS best for him. He can
give two performances nightly, while
with long film he is only able TO fill
his house once, and II he charges
extra he incurs the i'll Will Of his
steady patrons.
Most stories can be told in five
reels and a closely knit story is far
more entertaining than a long drawn
out feature with too much unneces-
sary detail In some cases an overlong
photoplay may crafty the ambitions

commercial value, and in several cases
