77ie People Will Go to the “Movies;” Many
Feature Films Being Presented at First
Class New York Theatres
New York. —Much has been written
about moving pictures as a substi
tute for the drama and perhaps the
subject has become a bit wearisome,
but I feel that the present is a par
ticularly propitious time to get a few
thinks on the subject out of my sys
tem.
There are several feature films be
ing presented at tirst-class theaters
in New York. "Smashing the Live
Trust.’' holds forth at the C.arrtcs
where that peerless actor Richard
Mansfield staged his production m
by-gone times. At David Betasccs
Republic we can now see a highly
thrilling films. "The Sky Monster,"
and the pictures flicker on a sheet
stretched across the stage where we
recently saw “The Woman." "The
Governor's Lady” and other Belasco
productions. The New York Theater,
where Ziegfeld used to l resent his
"Follies" is now showing “The Three
Musketeers” done in films.
"Educational.”
At the Park Theater, where a cou
ple of years ago "The Quaker Girl
was housed for a long run, we have

a highly exciting and so-called “edu
cational” motion picture feature "The
Drug Terror." Victor Hugo's "Los
Miserabies” flickers on a sheet in
Carnegie Hall, while "Fire and
Sword," a sensational film, with
aid of a fife and drum corps is doing
nightly duty at the old Harlem opera
House, which has succumbed after
several sucessful seasons of stock.
The Criterion Theater, where Robert
Hilliard made his long run last year
in “The Argyle Case." is now the
Vitagraph Theater, having been pur
chased by the motion pltcure concern
of the same name, and is now devoted
to feature Vitigraph filmss. At Web
er’s Theater, a film called “The
Gamesters” is drawing large crowds,
and at Daly’s and the old Herald
Square, where many of our ramous
players have trod the hoards, the -or
dinary programs of four or five pic
tures are presented from noon until
almost midnight. The Vnion Square
Theater, one of the old landmarks on
Fourteenth Street, which has been
devoted to vaudeville for several se.v
, is now a "movie” house.
y
far* jwjnt *'
t? , *
This list does not include about;
100 theaters which are devoted to a
mixed bill of small vaudeville anl
moving pictures and more than fifty
“hole in the wall” regenerated store
rooms, w’here one may see a program
of movies for a nickel.
Little White Lie.
Accordingly, when one of the big
theatrical magnates dropped a busi
ness remark that the moving pictures
were not making inroads on his busi- j
ness, I for one, concealed a sickly !
smile and hoped that on the day or
judgment, that little white lie woul 1
not be held against him.
The films are hurting the theatri
cal business, they are taking money
away from the regular managers and
any manager who makes a statement
to the contrary is merely talking to
holster up his own courage, like the
small boy who whistles as he comes
home in the dark.
There isn't a big manager in New
York who will turn down a chance to
“get in on a good moving picture
proposition and several of tbem are
already interested in feature films.
Charles Frobman is the controlling
spirit in the Famous Players Film
Company, which recently produced
"The Pride of Jennlco,” in the movies
with remarkable success.
As to the Reasons.
Now as to the reason why the pic
tures draw such crowds while the
legitimate actors very often play to
empty seats. In this age of the high
cost of living, seats at a theater,
which surely must be reckone i as a
luxury, are almost prohibitory in
price to the man of average means,
it is impossible to get two Seats tor
a first-class production for any
amount less than $3.00 while in most
cases they will cost $4.00. Any of
the feature films referred to at the
beginning of this letter can be view
ed for prices ranging from 50 cents
downward, and Tor most of them tse
highest price is 25 cents. The con
clusion drawn from these facts is
perfectly simple. People will go to
the movies because they can obtam
an evening’s entertainment at about
•one-eighth the price they would pay
at the regular theater.
The managers cry that they can
not reduce the price of Beats owing
to the tremendous expenditures in
volved in making a first-class produc
tion. Huge sums must be spent in
stage settings, higli salaries are paid
to our stars an.l the advertising hills
are stupendous. I am not an expen
on tlie financial end of the theatrical
business and would never attempt to
tell a manager how he can reduce SB
expenses and the | rices of his seals,
but this one thing is sure, he win
have to do It in some manner or tue
other or watch his business go to the
film houses.
