$7.63, Nova Scotia with $7.52, Quebec with $6.04, New Brunswick with $5.86, Prince Edward Island with $4.82 and Newfound¬ land with $4.43. CAPACITY UTILIZED: There was a drop of two per cent from the 29 per cent total of 1953 in the number of admissions sold in 1954 as against the maximum pos¬ sible. The “capacity utilized” potential is obtained by multiplying the number of seats in each theatre by the number of performances and cumulating the results. The 1954 percentage is the lowest since 1940, the highest having been 1946, when the figure was 37.6. PAYROLL: The collective wages and salaries of 15,786 people in the employ of Canada’s 1,938 (regular) theatres totalled $20,154,337 in 1954. Salaries and wages dropped 3.5 per cent in 1955. Forty-eight film distribution companies working from 136 exchange offices paid their employees $4,166,942.
