AS PROOF OF GIle SIlOWWIllCe puQ-
ding, receipts for 1884 in the
movie industry were reported to
show about Is per cent better fig
ureS than for 1888, with 1900
theaters now open which were
closed in the previous year.
Several major companies also
raised their heads from the finan-
cial red for the first time since
the depression exploded.
However, the situation has not
yet entirely removed the puzzle
ment, bewilderment and founder
ing of Hollywood as to which
path it should follow in 1885 with
the utmost safety.
Producers have chartered a
play-it-safe menu for the coming
year with a schedule of music,
dancing, straightforward comedy
and clean drama based on the
modern era.
1t appears that in 1885, there
will be more music in pictures
than ever before. The industry
has been combing the field of
classical singers as well as prima
donnaS in operetta and musical
comedy. Many of the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company ace perform
erS have been signed.
The theory seems to be that one
may criticize but not censor muSi-
cal effort.
Pictures were virtually turned
over to the children in 1884 and
the kindergarten atmosphere will
carry over into 1885.
It was Mae West in 1888 and
Shirley Temple in 1884. With the
