believe sincerely, see. the re-
served seat as essential.
Even first-rate circus has
reserved seats. Everybody in
place before the show starts and
nobody climbing over you, or
grabbing your seat if you leave
it for even a minute.
Nothing pleases the magnates
Of our film cathedrals more than
a feature picture which will at
tract throngs to the box-office
and crowd the lobbies.
Nothing, ] take it, irritates
the Reserved Seat Guild (young
and ambitious) more than a
waiting line. and the discomfort
of standing until such time as a
convenient cushion is vacant in
the cinema palaces. Wherefore
they ask reserved seat coupons
for the movie customers.
This request, simple enough
as it sounds, if carried through
would revolutionize the picture
industry. The gorgeous picture
houses with their concert or
chestras and their elaborate
stage trimmings have been
founded upon a daily program
that will permit five and six
audiences a day, as against the
conventional single show or
matinee and night performances
of the legitimate theaters.

Those who know their theater
economies, could soon convince
even the members of the Re-

of such a house is a tremendous
bill weekly. The movie public,
exacting in its demand for COM

of modern cooling plants and
they cost a small fortune to
equip and maintain.
To operate theaters like
Loew's Palace or the Stanley
Crandall Earle on profitable
basis with the present admission
scale requires an audience turn
over four or five times day at
least. On a reserved seat basis
it would be necessary to cut
down the number of shows and
accordingly decrease the pos

a tornado il the finish OF MANY

10 Fred Bernard who appears this
week In Joseph Sankey's Ioew.
Publix production, Babes on
Broadway, at LoeW's Palace. a
tornado that struck the Middle
West recently made" him.
Bernard, who was master Of
ceremonies at the Missouri Thea.
ter. st. Louis, was thrown OUT 81
his bed by the force OF the tor
nado. He rushed about the
streets Though which debris ana
dust were flying about in such
volume that his face soon took
on q dark tint. When Bernard
reached the park where ali the
refugees were gathered he was.
recognized by the authorftis in
charge who requested him TO do
something to relieve the gloomy
attitude OF the people. So he
sang to them In his Eddie Cantor.
Al JOison way.
The comedian seemed to lift the
heavy veil from the hearts of the
refugees and to make their spirits
lighter. They started to setting
their town right again with 4
vigor that astonished the country.
When they told Bernard that his
"black-face' act was excellent,
he asked them what bIack.face
act. They replied the one that
he did at the park.
Then and there he resolved to
do his stage number with burnt
cork. The success OF his venture
may be witnessed at Isoew's Pal
ace this week. where the man.
agement assures the finest of en-
tertainment.

crease in admission prices be-
comes inevitable.
Certainly the Reserved Seat
Guild is not organized for the
purpose Of raising admission
prices, although its program,
If successful, would accomplish
this. The motion picture
houses, operating on q grind or
continuous performance policy.
attract thousands of drop-in
trade weekly, patrons who at
tend in off hours because they
have some minutes available for
diversion. They like the con-
venience Of going to the theater
any old time and leaving BY the
same schedule. Another i'm.
practical phase Of the coupon
seat in the movie houses would
be the long lines accumulating
at the box office buying reser-
vations.
To sell out 3,50O-seat house,
for example, with reservation
tickets. would create d condi-
ton where waiting in line for
box-office attention would COM
pei greater loss Of time and dis
comfort than the inconvenience
of the present condition. Sell
ing out 3,5O0-seat house,
three times . day, under such
system, would bring crowds
that would compel police atten-
ton.
Motion picture audiences do
not buy tickets weeks ahead
and doubt seriously whether
they could be educated to such
d plan. They make up their
minds to 20 to q movie within
i few hours or few minutes
of their actual appearance at
the box office. That, Of course,
Is what creates crowds.

Reserved Seat Guild, I would
first protect it by patent Or
some other legal device, and
then offer it to Roxy or Adolp

weekly royalty. I'm almost GER
tain they would buy it. How
ever, since my opinion is urged
on the guild proposal ! reluc-
family release it. 1t is that the
coupon seat plan is entirely inn
practical and the mission Of the
guild consequently futile. As
for the stage artists Directing,
!. know that they all like the
increased weekly wage which
the continuous policy, four shows
a day program, makes possible.
