4 PHOTO PLAY. OFFERINGS. FOR. TODAY.


- movie houses, and to give the
people still greater pictures, the
managers have secured bookings
for next week that are far superior
to any that have been screened IN
Omaha for some time.
The cost of a production is sec
ondary in the mind of the movie
manager; it's the actual work of the
star and the cast-the settings and
technique that test the worth of the
production at private screenings
which are given daily, that prompts
the hurried booking of picture
after its release, or of its being sent
to some other city.
The large photoplay producers
have of late recognized Omaha as
being one of the best picture cities
of the Country, and each seem anx-
ious that their representative here
receive first run of their bigger and
better productions.

ment suggests itself to the thought
