INDEPENDENCE: WEEK
BEING OBSERVED At
LIBERTY THEATER
Manager Myrick Wants to
Know What Great Falls
Movie Fans Like Best.

What do the people of Great Falls
want in motion pictures?'
This is a question that Manager f.
j. Myrick of the Liberty theater has
been trying to answer for some time
and he's not sure yet what the correct
answer is.
According to recent statement
made by him to a newspaper repre-
sentative. the likes and dislikes Of the
average Great Falls movie fan are
impossible to define. Mr.. Myrick says
he has endeavored to give those who
patronize the Liberty theater the very
best in photodramas-film that have
stood the test in the leading cities Of
the country and before the most criti-
cal Of critics. Yet the very pictures
which have been acclaimed as unim
peachable morally, perfect in plot and
acting. attract hardly enough people in
Great Falls to pay the expense of
them. On the other hand when some
three-year- old slapstic comedy Or anti
auated two-reel western" is shown.
the crowd goes wild with enthusiasm.
Box Office is Gauge
Enthusiasm for a picture and the
amount Of money it brings to the box
office is the gauge by which the aver
age manager measures the value Of the
film he buys. If rotten pictures are
wanted many managers are only too
glad to give them With Mr. Myrick,
as with other motion picture managers
in this city. the desire is greater to
give the ps~,ple screen productions
worth while, but they find it dscour-
aging when they lose money on such
pictures.
