MOVIES POPULAR IN LAY CITY IF
 PARIS

PARIS, Jan. 27. - All the places of amusement in Paris took in F, 900 900 francs less in 1915 than in 1914, and about 44,000,0O0 francs less than in 1913. The legitimate theatres took in about 8,1O0,O0O francs. which was only 100000 francs more than the moving picture shows, and only a quarter of the receipts of 1913.
 The situation of the moving picture houses as compared with theatres Is partly accounted for by the fact that they were open throughout the year. but there is also remarkable growth. In five years. including two and half years of war, they have doubled their receipts. notwithstanding the fact that the best critics have consistently maintained that their programs were becoming more mediocre every month.
