II M++++++F ? * WHY "HKTTEH FILMS?" + Helen Duey, in Woman's Home Companion. Six years ago there was a man in a little town of * Pennsylvania who was a bartender in a saloon. He saw some motion pictures, realized their wonderful entertainment value, and decided that here was his big opportunity. Ho rented the empty room above the saloon, got a scrub brush, some strong soap and a pa'', of water, and scrubbed the place on his hands and knees, lie painted the walls and chairs tan and the floor brown. A well-tuned piano was installed. A few green plants were arranged on the raised platform serving for a stage. Then he contracted for film service from an exchange. i uia man received ills pictures oil the noon train from the nearest town, fifteen miles distant?once he drove the fifteen miles in deep snow so that his patrons should not be disappointed. Very often he went without his luncheon in order to run off the pictures before the performance. Any picture that he thought was bad he would not show. Objections !e parts of other films he cut out, after mat king the place so that the piece could be inserted again before the film was sent on to the next man 011 the circuit. If he had to make so many cuts that his program was too much shortened, he called upon an ever-ready singer in the neighborhood to help out. At first the rougher element of the small town patronized his show, but gradually a more particular type of patrons climbed the outside stairway. Then he had to move his "theatre" for two reasons?his patronage demanded a change of location and he was hurting business downstairs. lie moved many times after that, always to a larger city, carrying with nim his ideas of cleanliness, decency, clear pictures, good music and artistic settings. Vino 11 v ho on mo tM Vow Vorlr where In due time he dedicated to the new art the most beautiful photoplay theatre in the world. This theatre has set the standard all over the United States. Its beautiful stage setting, with a trellised garden and tinkling fountains, Its symphony orchestra, its great pipe-organ and its courteous ushers, have been imitate' ;n nearly ev^rv large citv, on 11 similar or limited scale. The geneera. plan of its most satisfying program (a feature, a constrasting comedy or story, a tropical news, an miniated cartoon, a scenic or travel or science picture) is being used in every high-grade photo-play theatre. "The secret of my success as an exhibitor? A very simple on V." In answered, "t have always catered i.- the tastes of the plain peopl \ the wholesome, discriminating miirt'e class. They appreciate a clean, .ittractive picture jt> a clean, attractive theatre. Thev love good music, ?siccially what i call the heart inelndie.... They do not want their ey >s their ears, or their noses offended i'l a public place any more than th ty <1: In their homes. They should have what they wan:, and In time th2/ will get tt everywhere." Those same feautres for which lit pays a thousand dollars a w?ek i'01 hist run service, in the course oi time come to the smallest town thai has a picture theatre?for ten or fifteen dollars. Aigona, Iowa, wit'r about three thousand inhabitants shows these identical pictures. If the picture is blurred and hurt: the eyes, complain to the exhibitor It >c caused by a dirty or tarnished screen; insufficient light or a badlj focused light; or a poor len?. If tin picture flickers or dances, the trou ble is a poor machine, or a good one either out of order or improperly operated.
