been fired she went into the house
and did not see any of the subsequent
happenings.

'BIG THEATERS HIT IN REPORT

Big theaters offering vaudeville em
‘bcllishment for motion picture pro
| grams strike at the very vitals of the
{ motion picture industry, Joseph M.
! Schénch, head of the United Artists
| corporation, said Tuesday in a report,
he made for the film year book.
“Pive-thousand-seat theaters,” he
said, “are a detriment to the picture
ndustry, in that by paying hw
grr I vaudeville enteratinment, ’ Ve
{ drain their resources so that they can
not pay for good feature films. The
[ result is discouragement to those who
lw(mld produce films of a high type.”
| The small theater of not more than
19,000 seats, he said, is the type which
makes possible the production of bet
‘ter than mediocre films. In such
| houses, operated at small expense, he
[ explained, a feature picture will run
!more than a week, maintain the pub
lie interests in motion pictures and
iyicld the maximum returns essential
