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 ARE YOU fl VICTIM OE BLOOD POISON?

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.
