PRICES OF MOTION PICTURE
SHOWS TO ADVANCE

If there are those-and We know
thers are-who kick about the pres
ent price of picture shows, they are
evidently slated for a distinct shock
within the next few months, accord
ing to Al Litchman of the Lasky Fam
ous Players corporation.
In an interview in New York Mon
day Mr.. Litchman said:
High class motion picture shows
will soon raise their prices to rs
cents. Everything is going up, so
the prices Of high class motion pic
ture houses will also go skyward."
He denied that such an advance
would affect the attendance. THE
public is motion picture crazy" he
said. You can't keep people away
from good shows, no matter what the
prices are
