68.2 PCT. OF PEOPLE
ARE MOVIE PATRONS
Organization Being Formed May
Even Expand These Attend
ance Figures

NEW YORK, March 16.-The mo-
ton picture theaters Of the United
States are attended regularly by 68.2
Ter cent of the people, according to
data on Gle in VIII Hays office. In
towns of $4,000 more than the to-
tai population attend the movies dur
ing the week.
Il these fgures-they cannot be
definite - are even approximately
correct they point out that three Of
every ten people seldom see movies
in the theaters They may see mo-
ton pictures in school rooms, church
es and community centers. Films
shown in those places are listed as
non-theatrical films Under that
classification fall senics, travelogues,
folklore, wild animal life and his
torical and biblical romances.
Heretofore there has been no or
ganization of the films distributing
non-theatrical films. Francis NJ.
Hugo, former state secretary Of New
York, has just been made chairman
of the directors Of one of the larger
non-theatrical firms under a plan to
affiliate all the non-theatrial firms
under him in an organization similar
to the Hays organization.
"The non-theatrical firms have
made spasmodic efforts to reach the
great mass of people who do not at
tend theaters," Hugo says. I'VE are
now amalgamating these efforts to
the end of getting the non theatrical
film before the vast audience that
awaits it.
we are now filming the life Of
Lincoln and the history of the
United States and we believe those
films will be exhibited in every
school in the country"
Many excellent films, such as the
Scandinavian version of Hamlet
with Asia Nielsen starring, never
reach the public because the indus
trE as organized today throttles the
independent producer.
Asia Neilsen's Hamlet stood no
more show of being exhibited in a
Broadway theater than Banquo's
ghost.
Universal recently bought 'Driv-
en-, which Charles Brabin produced
INDEPENDENTLY, and boosted that 1t
was the first independent film it had
bought in years.
Must has been said about the com
munity film theater movement. 1t
seems that the only hope for that
movement to succeed at this time IS
through the organization proposed by
Hugo. That group is already set to
the purpose Of reaching people who
do not attend the commercial thea
ter Those who ahve been prating
about art for arts sake in the movies
NAV find their opportunity for eN-
preston through the Hugo organlza-
ton. AT least, Hugo should see TO
it that they do find their oppor-
tunity.
