There is quite a discussion under
way at this time between certain
New York motion picture exhibitors
and exhibitors in the outlying dis
tricts as to the value OF prologues
on picture programmes. The little"
exhibitor complains that he canrot
anord to give films the elaborate
prologue accompaniment supplied on
Broadway. And. anyway, he says.
prologues in most cases are lacking
In taste, give away the whole plot Of
the film story in advance, and irri-
tate those who come to see pictures
There is merit in what the little
exhibitor says. At least half the pic
lures shown in New York with pro-
logues would be very decidedly i'm
proved without them. In the end, IL
they were eliminated, wouldn't it be
possible that a little cut in prices
for the patron might be forthcoming ?

You can appreciate the magnitude
Of the task OF separating the good
from the bad and finally cutting the
good down TO the amount desired.
It's something for a person who
knows every scene by heart, and
understands the meaning Of every
angle in the plot, to do. But IN
