ALL NEWsNOVIES, CUT OFF

Two-thirds of All Film Theatres in Country Already
Closed by Authorities York
Places Hard Hit

Broadway last night among the film
heroes and heroines was whether the pro-
ducers would curtail production OF films
during the period that releases are sus-
pended. Mr.. Brady's announcement
stated merely that the discontinuance Of
releases would go into effect on October
10, and would continue until the cpl
demic is checked.
Herman Gordon. vice-president of the
Motion Picture Exhibitors Association Of
The Bronx. said that exhibitors were
not alarmed over the proposed discon-
tinuance of flm releases. There are
enough pictures already in the market"
Mr.. Gordon said. ito last exhibitors for
two months. and when this supply Is eX-
hausted We will run old ones until We
are ordered to close by the authorities.
OF course II the health authorities deem
II advisable to close our theatres be-
cause OF the epidemic We will close.
But II will not be because Of the new
ruling of the producers"
Mr.. Gordon said he interpreted the
producers action as an effort to hold
back feature pictures until attendance
at picture houses increased, thereby en-
abling the producers to get n higher
price for their releases.
Receipts Fall on Heavily.
Charles Refs, acting manager of the
Rialto Theatre, said he' understood own
ers OF several large theatres in this city
contemplated closing their houses be-
cause of the reduced attendance since
the epidemic had been felt here.
1--WE have I02 employees at the Rialto."
Mr.. Refs said. land none of them is on
the sick list. which would tend TO show,
l think. that motion picture houses are
not the germ centres that some people
appear to believe. However. If the Board
OF Health decides that the picture thea
tire ought to be closed. we will close and
/ am sure others will be glad to CO.
operate In the same way until the spread
of the disease Is checked"
Mr. Refs said that receipts ut the
Rialto had fallen of about $1,000 a day
