CATERING TO THE TASTES

Lovers of better photoplays constantly con-
demning the cheaper class of fapdoodle movies which
they sometimes forced to look at when they seek
an evenings diversion at the Strand Theatre.
And l have been oudest in my dersion of some
of the goopy films which insult to the intelli-
gence of discriminating people. In fact | loud
in my boots of derision at time during the former
ownership of the Strand that they retaiated by dis
continuing their advertising for several months! So
ought to know.
But after mature deberation and conscientious
consideration at last led to a sympathetic view
point of the theatre arrangements side of the ques-
ton. And that's saying whole mouthful.
Here is instance: "On Thursday night of
last week saw "The Phantom of the Opera" at the
Strand. The picture was masterpiece of intelligent
plot and photography. 1t thrilngly vivid por-
trayal of extremely difficult and complicated theme
For tragic suspense and gripping love interest en-
tertanment of exceptional quality
BUT--i
The house was only indiAerently filed Tier after
tier of seats empty
And the night preceding there a typical
Western hoolsum picture of pure puppycock filled with
wild chases, knock down and drag out bunkum over
strained acting and plot full of holes as
the well known rotten cheese
BUT THE HOUSE WAS TANNED!
And with but the performance of that ninny-
whiddle picture the management made money
than both the matinee and evening performances of
"The Phantom of the Opera" Wednesday!
Think of it! "The Phantom of the Opera" is a
high priced film it is difficult to But the other
picture of piflicaed bunk is the kind that almost sell
by the dot" like shoddy Seconds" from cheap
ufacturing dump!
And the management of the Strand has to cater
to the tastes They not in business for their health
any than the rest of They trying to make
money just you and l. And long they
get larger houses with cheap pictures of lsmell
ing COOP they put them And every time they stage
a frst-cass picture of artistic quality and masterful
acting they have to take their chances suffering
loss in receipts
SO l say l have at last to sympathetic
understanding of the Strands difficulties in supplying
high class pictures for the discriminating public of
bambertvle and New Hope And Mr. Rosen didn't
ask to this, either. Nor did most esteemed
manager, superintendent and general factoum of the
Strand Mr.. Elmer G. Carr! God help him!
